Skill compilation

Turning a successful agent run into a reusable, replayable skill — a compact program of indexed actions you can call again without re-planning.

What is skill compilation?

Skill compilation is the step where a successful, LLM-planned run is distilled into a durable skill: an ordered set of actions bound to token-efficient DOM indices, minimized to drop the retries and dead ends, with the run-specific values lifted out into late-bound tokens. The expensive reasoning happens once during this cold compile; every later invocation replays the skill or matches it through the semantic cache.

Why it matters

Compilation is the moment cost moves from per-run to one-time. It separates the act of figuring out a workflow (model-heavy) from running it (model-free), which is exactly the boundary RPA-replacement and high-volume agent teams need to make per-1,000-run cost fall.

Put your agent to work. Keep the decision.

Give your agent a real browser, authorize the accounts it may use, and keep control of every step. Repeated runs compile into skills that replay without a model.
