ctx2skill

name	ctx2skill
description	Faithful reproduction of Ctx2Skill (arXiv:2604.27660v2) — multi-agent self-play framework that autonomously discovers, refines, and selects context-specific skills from complex documents without human annotation or external feedback. N=5 iterations, M=5 tasks/iteration, 5 agent roles (Challenger/Reasoner/Judge/Proposer/Generator), Cross-Time Replay mechanism.
license	MIT
version	1.0.0
limitations	Requires API access to an OpenAI-compatible LLM endpoint. N=5, M=5 as in paper; larger values not validated. Single benchmark (CL-bench) in original paper. Skills grow monotonically without merging — no pruning mechanism.

How to Use

from ctx2skill import Ctx2SkillConfig, Ctx2Skill

config = Ctx2SkillConfig(
    api_base="your-api-base",
    api_key="your-api-key",
    backbone_model="gpt-4.1",
    judge_model="gpt-4.1",
)

with open("context.txt", "r") as f:
    context = f.read()

skill = Ctx2Skill(config).run(context)
# skill is a Markdown document — prepend to system prompt at inference time

CLI

python examples/run_ctx2skill.py \
    --context context.txt \
    --api-base https://api.openai.com/v1 \
    --api-key sk-... \
    --model gpt-4.1 \
    --output skills.md

Architecture

• ctx2skill/core.py — Self-play loop orchestrator (N iterations)
• ctx2skill/agents.py — 5 agent roles: Challenger, Reasoner, Judge, Proposer, Generator
• ctx2skill/replay.py — Cross-time replay mechanism (selects best skill set)
• ctx2skill/utils.py — LLM API calls, prompt templates
• ctx2skill/config.py — Configuration dataclass
