  # SkillOpt: Executive Strategy for Self-Evolving Agent Skills
  
  **SkillOpt is a text-space optimizer specifically designed for training reusable natural-language skills for *frozen LLM agents*.** It lets you train agent skills like you train neural networks — with epochs, (mini-)batchsize, learning rates, and validation gates — but without touching model weights or needing complex RL environments.

  ## What SkillOpt Is Not (and How It Differs)
  
  SkillOpt is *not* a general-purpose machine learning framework like PyTorch or Hugging Face Transformers. It does not train model weights or provide tools for general neural network architectures. It is also *not* a reinforcement learning environment or library like OpenAI Gym or Ray RLlib, as it focuses on text-space optimization for pre-trained LLM agents rather than environment interaction and reward signals.
