The inability of models to reliably self-author useful Skills implies that models typically cannot produce the procedural knowledge they would benefit from consuming.
Interpretation based on the empirical finding that self-generated Skills provided no average benefit; inferred conclusion about model-authored procedural content quality. The paper's claim is supported by the comparative experimental results but the inference about broader capabilities is derived from those results rather than a direct separate measurement.
