About this skill

Awesome Adaptation of Agentic AI

Skill by ara.so — AI Agent Skills collection.

Overview

This repository is a curated research collection accompanying the paper "Adaptation of Agentic AI" (arXiv:2512.16301). It systematically organizes papers on how AI agents adapt their behavior, particularly focusing on:

  • Agent Adaptation: Methods to improve agent decision-making through tool execution signals (A1) or output signals (A2)
  • Tool Adaptation: Approaches to optimize tools either independently (T1) or with agent supervision (T2)

The collection categorizes 40+ research papers by adaptation strategy, training method (RL, SFT, DPO), task domain, and implementation details.

Browsing Papers

The repository organizes papers into four main categories:

    • RL-based methods (GRPO, PPO, AlphaZero-like)
    • SFT & DPO methods
  2. A2: Agent Output Signaled Adaptation

    • Coming in future updates
  3. T1: Agent-Agnostic Tool Adaptation

    • Coming in future updates
  4. T2: Agent-Supervised Tool Adaptation

    • Coming in future updates

Key Research Categories

A1: Tool Execution Signaled (RL-Based)

Papers where agents learn from tool execution feedback using reinforcement learning:

Notable Methods:

  • Orion (2025.11): IR agents with GRPO on LFM2
  • DeepSeek-R1-Zero (2025.01): Coding agents with code executor feedback
  • DeepSeek-Prover-V2 (2025.04): Formal theorem proving with Lean compiler
  • FTRL (2025.08): Multi-step tool-use with GRPO

Common Pattern:

Agent → Tool Call → Execution Feedback → RL Update (GRPO/PPO)

A1: Tool Execution Signaled (SFT & DPO)

Papers using supervised fine-tuning and direct preference optimization:

Notable Methods:

  • ToolLLM (2023.07): API planning with real-world APIs
  • RetPO (2024.02): Information retrieval with DPO
  • AWL (2024.12): Scientific reasoning with adaptive learning

Common Pattern:

Agent → Tool Call → Execution Trace → Supervised Learning

Reading Strategy

# Pseudo-code for systematic review
def research_adaptation_strategy(task_domain, method_type):
    """
    Navigate to specific adaptation category
    
    Args:

    """
    # 1. Go to appropriate section (A1, A2, T1, T2)
    # 2. Filter by method_type (RL-based vs SFT/DPO)
    # 3. Search table for task_domain
    # 4. Check paper links, code availability, model backbones
