SKIM: Adaptive soft-token compression for procedural skills in LLM workflows

Researchers introduce SKIM (SKIll coMpression), a multi-resolution soft token compression framework targeting procedural knowledge (skills/workflows) rather than factual documents. SKIM compresses reusable natural language skills to 30–60% of their original token length while preserving task performance, reducing prefill cost and latency when skills are repeatedly invoked. The method adapts compression depth to skill complexity and supports offline compression for frequently updated community skills.
