Automated excerpt
Change the model and the skill may become less useful, unnecessary, or even harmful. WikiSkill separates raw experience, accumulated knowledge and the actual executable skill. Experience can keep accumulating outside the skill, while proposed skill changes are validated before being promoted. Keep uncertain experience outside the skill until it earns its place. Add instructions only for what the model still needs.
