Merged summary
TL;DR - SkillForge is a self-distillation framework that teaches coding agents repository-specific knowledge before they encounter real issues. It matters because it improves downstream issue resolution without requiring historical repair data or costly per-issue exploration.
- Synthesizes project-specific issues by reimplementing test-covered core repository functionality.
- Resolves these synthetic issues to distill reusable, entity-grounded skills linked to relevant repository entities.
- Proactively addresses repository knowledge gaps rather than discovering them during real issue resolution.
- Experiments with open- and closed-source models consistently outperform strong baselines.
