arXiv:2608.25091v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-evolving Skill harnesses (AutoSkills, Hermes Agent) generate more advisory orchestration automatically; their reported gains are efficiency, not safety. This misses the actual gap: a Skill describes how an agent should behave; a Policy decides which behavior is allowed to become an action. Today's format covers the first with markdown and scripts; the second is left to the model. Generating more Skills scales the gap, not the safety, especially when a wrong invocation can unlock a door or move money. Two adjacent attacks are documented: malicious skills compromising cloud software, and jailbroken LLM-controlled robots causing physical harm
