# SkillRL-SFT-Data

This is the **Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) dataset** used in the paper [SkillRL: Evolving Agents via Recursive Skill-Augmented Reinforcement Learning](https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.08234).

SkillRL-SFT-Data provides instruction-output pairs for training base agent policies on three interactive decision-making environments: **ALFWorld**, **WebShop**, and **Search**. Each example contains a structured instruction with retrieved skill context from the hierarchical SkillBank and the corresponding expert action output.

## Dataset Summary

| Config     | Environment                                         | Examples | Description                                                  |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `alfworld` | [ALFWorld](https://github.com/alfworld/alfworld)    | 7,486    | Embodied household tasks (pick & place, clean, heat, cool, examine, etc.) |
| `webshop`  | [WebShop](https://github.com/princeton-nlp/WebShop) | 2,553    | Web-based shopping navigation tasks                          |
| `search`   | Search                                              | 1,214    | Multi-step web search QA tasks (NQ, TriviaQA, PopQA, HotpotQA, 2Wiki, MuSiQue, Bamboogle) |

**Total**: 11,253 instruction-output pairs.

## Data Format

Each example contains two fields:

- **`instruction`**: A detailed prompt including the task goal, retrieved relevant experience from the hierarchical SkillBank (general principles, task-specific skills, and mistakes to avoid), current environment observation, and admissible actions.
- **`output`**: The expected agent response, consisting of a step-by-step reasoning process wrapped in `<think>` tags followed by the selected action in `<action>` tags.

## Usage

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

# Load a specific config
alfworld_data = load_dataset("Jianwen/SkillRL-SFT-Data", "alfworld")
webshop_data = load_dataset("Jianwen/SkillRL-SFT-Data", "webshop")
search_data = load_dataset("Jianwen/SkillRL-SFT-Data", "search")
```

All models are fine-tuned from [Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct). SFT checkpoints are trained on this dataset; RL checkpoints are further optimized via recursive skill-augmented reinforcement learning.
