SCAFFOLD: Self-Improving Web Agents via Recursive Parametric Skill Abstraction

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 31, 2026 · UTC

Web agents need to navigate visually rich, long-horizon interfaces that change across sites, yet most previous agents still learn each task in isolation and discard the procedural knowledge they accumulate. Recent skill-augmented frameworks take an important first step, but they treat the skill library as a flat or two-tier prompt-side cache and offer no principled mechanism for compressing redundancy or composing skills recursively. We introduce \textsc{Scaffold}, a self-improving framework for visual web agents that (i) induces parametric, executable skills from successful trajectories under
