ClawTrace: Cost-Aware Tracing for LLM Agent Skill Distillation

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2604.23853v1 Announce Type: new Skill-distillation pipelines learn reusable rules from LLM agent trajectories, but they lack a key signal: how much each step costs. Without per-step cost, a pipeline cannot distinguish adding a missing step to fix a bug from removing an expensive step that never affected the outcome. We
