Description

Group of Skills / GoSkills (arXiv:2605.06978, May 7, 2026) changes the agent-facing retrieval object from a flat skill list to a compact, role-labeled execution context. Each returned group contains: entry point skill, support skills, visible requirements, and failure-avoidance guidance. Evaluated on SkillsBench and ALFWorld — outperforms flat skill-access baselines.

Relevance to Zeph

zeph-skills currently returns retrieved skills as a flat ranked list of SKILL.md embeddings. GoSkills' grouped presentation with explicit role labels would allow:

  • Surfacing the primary skill entry point separately from support/helper skills
  • Attaching visible requirements to each retrieved group (dependencies, preconditions)
  • Including failure-avoidance notes from past skill executions
  • Better use of the skill context budget (more signal per token)

Expected Behavior

Evaluate GoSkills group-structured retrieval for zeph-skills SkillMatcher output format.

Actual Behavior

Current skill retrieval returns a ranked flat list with no role labeling or grouped structure.
