EconSkills: Studying Skill Transfer and Retrieval for Web Agents on Live Economic Data
AI 导读
EconSkills 是一个技能库与评测框架，将 EconWebArena 验证过的轨迹提炼为参数化标准操作流程，用于检索实时经济数据，每个技能记录范围、导航流程、站点指引、验证检查与恢复步骤。在受控迁移实验中，匹配技能比无技能提示成功率更高、步骤更少，参数化技能提示明显优于原始轨迹提示。完整 50 技能库下检索整体与无技能基线相当，在有直接同族匹配的任务上表现最佳。

Abstract:Web agents often revisit the same sites, yet most evaluations discard the procedures learned in earlier successful interactions. We introduce EconSkills, a skill library and evaluation framework that distills verified EconWebArena trajectories into parameterized standard operating procedures for retrieving live economic data. Each skill records its scope, navigation procedure, site-specific guidance, verification checks, and recovery steps while replacing source-instance values with placeholders. EconSkills separates two questions: whether a known relevant procedure transfers to a held-out task, and whether an agent can retain that benefit when selecting from a library. In controlled transfer, matched skills improve success over no-skill prompting and require fewer steps on paired successes. Under the evaluated prompt formats, the parameterized skill prompt substantially outperforms the corresponding raw-trajectory prompt. With the full 50-skill library, retrieval is competitive with the no-skill baseline overall and performs best on tasks with a direct family match; approximate matches on other tasks offset these gains. Browser trajectories further identify when procedural guidance shortens portal-specific navigation and when semantic verification remains necessary. These results establish that reusable economic web procedures can transfer across task instances and provide a concrete design target for match-aware selection and context delivery.
