智能体技能已成为跨独立人工智能智能体系统的持久行为工件，它结合了自然语言任务规范与元数据等。现有研究缺乏将这些工件定义为独立软件对象的本体。本文引入Skillware，它将软件工程扩展到智能体系统中的持久行为工件。Skill Artifact指定可复用任务行为，Skillware Unit通过独立标识和生命周期管理工件，兼容的智能体主机激活单元用于运行时解释。文中阐述了相关条件及证据，Skillware提供了软件本体和工程生命周期，使智能体能力可成为可识别等的软件工件。
英文摘要
Agent Skills have become persistent behavioral artifacts across independent AI agent systems. They combine natural-language task specifications with metadata and optional references, scripts, assets, hooks, package manifests, tests, and companion interfaces. Existing studies explain how Skills are specified, executed, maintained, and evolved, but lack an ontology that defines these artifacts as independent software objects. This paper introduces Skillware as the software abstraction that extends software engineering to persistent Behavioral Artifacts in agent systems. A Skill Artifact specifies reusable task behavior; a Skillware Unit manages that artifact as software through an independent identity and lifecycle. A compatible Agent Host activates the unit for runtime interpretation. Three necessary conditions operationalize category membership: behavioral primacy, independent software identity, and an Agent Host execution relationship. Lifecycle Continuity records whether the same unit identity persists through update, maintenance, rollback, and removal as a separate software-grade property. Evidence combines the Agent Skills specification, a frozen corpus of 138,133 content-deduplicated SKILL.md records associated with 20,556 repository identifiers, independent empirical studies, 15 category-boundary cases, and 13 fixed-revision engineering implementations. The evidence establishes a recurring artifact envelope, separable software identities, documented or reconstructed activation paths, and lifecycle engineering pressure. Skillware provides the software ontology and engineering lifecycle through which agent capabilities can become identifiable, composable, and maintainable software artifacts with an explicit basis for future evolution.
