SkillTV-Bench: Benchmarking How Well Judges Perform on Skill-Augmented Agentic Execution
TL;DR
This work introduces SkillTV-Bench, a 681-case benchmark of real agent trajectories from 50 tasks across eleven domains, designed to evaluate skill-aware trajectory verification for both LLM-as-a-Judge and Agent-as-a-Judge methods, and proposes SkillTV-Evolve, which externalizes verification knowledge as a reusable JudgeSkill that guides an agent judge to plan targeted inspections and issue evidence-grounded verdicts.
Abstract
LLM agents increasingly execute long-horizon tasks through tool use and environment interaction, shifting evaluation from final-response scoring to verification of complete executions. For skill-augmented agents, verification additionally requires the procedural knowledge encoded in task-time skills, because this knowledge indicates what evidence to inspect and which failures are task-critical. However, existing judge benchmarks often expose final responses or static trajectories, and rarely combine task-time skills with directly inspectable artifacts and environments. We therefore introduce SkillTV-Bench, a 681-case benchmark of real agent trajectories from 50 tasks across eleven domains, designed to evaluate skill-aware trajectory verification for both LLM-as-a-Judge and Agent-as-a-Judge methods. Additionally, we propose SkillTV-Evolve, which externalizes verification knowledge as a reusable JudgeSkill that guides an agent judge to plan targeted inspections and issue evidence-grounded verdicts. On a disjoint development pool, an automated evolution loop further refines the JudgeSkill using misjudged cases. On SkillTV-Bench, the refined skill increases the same agent judge's accuracy by 14.8 percentage points. In offline rollout-pool selection, it increases selected-trajectory success from 22.9% with one rollout to 45.5% with ten rollouts.
