EvoWeave improves agent task performance by reusing modular steps

EvoWeave: Composing Reusable Agent Experience through Operation Level Graphs

Abstract: Different tasks often require interactive agents to perform similar operations at intermediate steps. Retrieving an entire past workflow can introduce irrelevant steps, whereas retrieving isolated operations can discard the dependencies needed to reuse them. We introduce EvoWeave, a framework for experience memory that represents abstract states as nodes and reusable operations as directed edges with input and output contracts, provenance, and capability references. A planner decomposes the current task into a dependency graph; operation retrieval and bounded directed search then assemble relevant experience fragments. An execution agent can inspect these fragments and their referenced capabilities, while reflection separates concrete execution evidence from reusable abstractions. We study the framework across four benchmarks, five evaluation settings, and three language model backbones. Across backbones, AppWorld Normal and Challenge task goal completion average 51.91 and 27.99, respectively, exceeding the baseline without memory by 6.99 and 4.99 percentage points. An AppWorld ablation associates directed connections with an additional improvement of 2.08 points over independent operation cards. The results motivate composition of reusable operations while exposing tradeoffs in retrieval overhead and conditions for valid reuse.

The gist
Many tasks need agents to do similar things part by part, but using whole old task plans can add unnecessary steps while using only simple pieces can lose important connections. The authors created EvoWeave, a way to map tasks as connected states and reusable actions, helping agents pick and combine just the right parts from past experiences. Their tests show that this method helps agents complete goals better than when they don’t reuse past steps, especially when considering how these parts link together. This work helps machines learn from experience more flexibly while balancing searching speed and reusability.
