Abstract: Despite rapid progress in multimodal GUI agents, reusable skill acquisition remains difficult because on-demand generated skills often leave action semantics, state assumptions, and success criteria implicit. This makes them brittle to execution errors, hard to verify, and difficult to repair. We present ContractSkill, a framework that converts a draft skill into a contracted executable artifact with explicit preconditions, step specifications, postconditions, recovery rules, and termination checks. This representation enables deterministic verification, step-level fault localization, and minimal patch-based repair, turning skill refinement into localized editing rather than full regeneration. Experiments on VisualWebArena and MiniWoB with GLM-4.6V and Qwen3.5-Plus show that ContractSkill improves self-generated skills from 9.4% and 10.9% to 28.1% and 37.5% on VisualWebArena, and from 66.5% and 60.5% to 77.5% and 81.0% on MiniWoB. Repaired artifacts also transfer across models, improving the target model’s self-generated-skill baseline by up to 47.8 points and 12.8 points on the two benchmarks, respectively. These results suggest that agent skills are better treated as explicit procedural artifacts that can be verified, repaired, and shared across models.
