Equipping models with Skillware preserves baseline task reasoning (1,340 tokens) while excising redundant documentation down to compact typed schemas (220 tokens, −88%) and eliminating code repair loops entirely (0 tokens, −100%), yielding a 70.6% reduction in per-call token expenditure (1,620 tokens total).

In contrast, Skillware preflight gates enforce typing upfront (99.6% valid), resolving edge cases via fast typed reflexes (52 repaired) to deliver a 94.1% clean first-pass rate with only 7 terminal aborts. Across the full 368 benchmark tasks, this lifts completed conditions from 300/368 (81.5%) to 337/368 (91.6%). See [Behavioral Contracts Analysis](docs/results/behavioral_contracts.md).

- [Skillware](https://github.com/arpahls/skillware) (`arpahls/skillware`) is the open runtime framework for modular, self-contained AI agent skills. It replaces unstructured, unconditioned code synthesis and prompt-injected manuals with typed OpenAPI/JSON schemas, deterministic JIT execution handlers, runtime capability boundaries, and strict constitutional safety gates.
300
+ [Skillware](https://github.com/arpahls/skillware) (`arpahls/skillware`) is the open-source framework and registry for modular, actionable AI agent capabilities. Rather than prompting agents with fragile natural-language instructions, Skillware equips them with self-contained, executable Skill bundles—*decoupling capability from intelligence*.
301
+
302
+ Every Skill bundle packages everything a host agent needs to use a capability in a domain:
303
+ - **Contract**: Strict constitutional safety boundaries, dry-run guarantees, and typed I/O schemas (`manifest.yaml`).
304
+ - **Effect**: Deterministic Python handlers so agents run verified work directly rather than synthesizing ad-hoc code across turns (`skill.py`).
305
+ - **Directive**: System instructions and cognitive maps adapted to host LLM reasoning (`instructions.md`).
306
+ - **Assurance**: Offline verification suites ensuring the effect honors the contract before registry admission (`test_skill.py`).
307
+ - **Interface**: Universal tool schemas standardized across Gemini, Claude, OpenAI, Ollama, and OpenAI-compatible runtimes (`card.json`).
308
+
309
+ In Skillware-Bench, equipping models with Skillware eliminates ad-hoc workspace script synthesis and debugging (464 loops eliminated across 736 conditions), yielding a **+10.1% aggregate pass lift**, **51.4% token reduction**, and **1.60x execution speedup**.

Equipping models with Skillware preserves baseline task reasoning (1,340 tokens) while excising redundant documentation down to compact typed schemas (220 tokens, −88%) and eliminating code repair loops entirely (0 tokens, −100%), yielding a 70.6% reduction in per-call token expenditure (1,620 tokens total).

In contrast, Skillware preflight gates enforce typing upfront (99.6% valid), resolving edge cases via fast typed reflexes (52 repaired) to deliver a 94.1% clean first-pass rate with only 7 terminal aborts. Across the full 368 benchmark tasks, this lifts completed conditions from 300/368 (81.5%) to 337/368 (91.6%). See [Behavioral Contracts Analysis](docs/results/behavioral_contracts.md).

In contrast, Skillware preflight gates enforce typing upfront (99.6% valid), resolving edge cases via fast typed reflexes (52 repaired) to deliver 941 clean first-pass calls (94.1% clean first pass vs 71.2% vanilla) with only 7 terminal aborts.

- [Skillware](https://github.com/arpahls/skillware) (`arpahls/skillware`) is the open runtime framework for modular, self-contained AI agent skills. It replaces unstructured, unconditioned code synthesis and prompt-injected manuals with typed OpenAPI/JSON schemas, deterministic JIT execution handlers, runtime capability boundaries, and strict constitutional safety gates.
215
+ [Skillware](https://github.com/arpahls/skillware) (`arpahls/skillware`) is the open-source framework and registry for modular, actionable AI agent capabilities. Rather than prompting agents with fragile natural-language instructions, Skillware equips them with self-contained, executable Skill bundles—*decoupling capability from intelligence*.
216
+
217
+ Every Skill bundle packages everything a host agent needs to use a capability in a domain:
218
+ - **Contract**: Strict constitutional safety boundaries, dry-run guarantees, and typed I/O schemas (`manifest.yaml`).
219
+ - **Effect**: Deterministic Python handlers so agents run verified work directly rather than synthesizing ad-hoc code across turns (`skill.py`).
220
+ - **Directive**: System instructions and cognitive maps adapted to host LLM reasoning (`instructions.md`).
221
+ - **Assurance**: Offline verification suites ensuring the effect honors the contract before registry admission (`test_skill.py`).
222
+ - **Interface**: Universal tool schemas standardized across Gemini, Claude, OpenAI, Ollama, and OpenAI-compatible runtimes (`card.json`).
223
+
224
+ In Skillware-Bench, equipping models with Skillware eliminates ad-hoc workspace script synthesis and debugging (464 loops eliminated across 736 conditions), yielding a **+10.1% aggregate pass lift**, **51.4% token reduction**, and **1.60x execution speedup**.

Each dashed trajectory connects a model from its Vanilla baseline (ochre) to its Skillware equipped operating point (emerald green). The Skillware frontier dominates the Vanilla fleet everywhere, shifting up (higher accuracy across 16 benchmark layers) and to the left (lower operational token cost per task).

Right axis ranks models by net absolute pass rate lift under Skillware (from Maverick at +56.2% down to Gemini 3.8 Flash and Claude Sonnet 5 at +0.0%). Sovereign and compact workhorses achieve the steepest improvements when decoupled from raw code generation, with Meta Llama 4 Maverick jumping from 37.5% to 93.8% to achieve parity with frontier models.

+ > **Figure 20.** Token ledger decomposition per successful tool call during Office Mail attachment extraction. Unassisted Vanilla execution incurs a severe token tax (5,520 tokens per call), driven by verbose schema and documentation prefill (1,840 tokens), monolithic tool preambles (620 tokens), subprocess retry overhead (940 tokens), and traceback repair loops (780 tokens). Equipping models with Skillware preserves baseline task reasoning (1,340 tokens) while excising redundant documentation down to compact typed schemas (220 tokens, −88%) and eliminating code repair loops entirely (0 tokens, −100%), yielding a 70.6% reduction in per-call token expenditure (1,620 tokens total).

+ 4. **Upfront Preflight Validation Prevents Cascading Execution Regressions**: Unassisted code synthesis frequently fails at the interface boundary: 11.8% of emitted tool calls fail preflight schema validation, triggering 231 error-recovery cycles and 57 terminal aborts. In contrast, Skillware preflight gates enforce typing upfront (99.6% valid), resolving edge cases via fast typed reflexes (52 repaired) to deliver a 94.1% clean first-pass rate with only 7 terminal aborts. Across the full 368 benchmark tasks, this lifts completed conditions from 300/368 (81.5%) to 337/368 (91.6%). See [Behavioral Contracts Analysis](docs/results/behavioral_contracts.md).

In contrast, Skillware preflight gates enforce typing upfront (99.6% valid), resolving edge cases via fast typed reflexes (52 repaired) to deliver 941 clean first-pass calls (94.1% clean first pass vs 71.2% vanilla) with only 7 terminal aborts.

Skillware contracts run-to-run dispersion by 5.1x tighter, establishing the execution predictability required for enterprise regression testing and CI/CD release gating.

- [Skillware](https://github.com/arpahls/skillware) (`arpahls/skillware`) is the open runtime framework for modular, self-contained AI agent skills. It replaces unstructured, unconditioned code synthesis and prompt-injected manuals with typed OpenAPI/JSON schemas, deterministic JIT execution handlers, runtime capability boundaries, and strict constitutional safety gates.
300
+ [Skillware](https://github.com/arpahls/skillware) (`arpahls/skillware`) is the open-source framework and registry for modular, actionable AI agent capabilities. Rather than prompting agents with fragile natural-language instructions, Skillware equips them with self-contained, executable Skill bundles—*decoupling capability from intelligence*.
301
+
302
+ Every Skill bundle packages everything a host agent needs to use a capability in a domain:
303
+ - **Contract**: Strict constitutional safety boundaries, dry-run guarantees, and typed I/O schemas (`manifest.yaml`).
304
+ - **Effect**: Deterministic Python handlers so agents run verified work directly rather than synthesizing ad-hoc code across turns (`skill.py`).
305
+ - **Directive**: System instructions and cognitive maps adapted to host LLM reasoning (`instructions.md`).
306
+ - **Assurance**: Offline verification suites ensuring the effect honors the contract before registry admission (`test_skill.py`).
307
+ - **Interface**: Universal tool schemas standardized across Gemini, Claude, OpenAI, Ollama, and OpenAI-compatible runtimes (`card.json`).
308
+
309
+ In Skillware-Bench, equipping models with Skillware eliminates ad-hoc workspace script synthesis and debugging (464 loops eliminated across 736 conditions), yielding a **+10.1% aggregate pass lift**, **51.4% token reduction**, and **1.60x execution speedup**.
