## Overview

This skill is based on the research paper "Steerability of Instrumental-Convergence Tendencies in LLMs" (arXiv:2601.01584). It demonstrates advanced techniques for improving agent capabilities and reasoning.

## Problem

Research-driven approaches to enhancing autonomous agent performance, reasoning quality, and system integration across diverse domains.

## Solution

The paper presents novel methodologies and frameworks for:
- Improved agent architecture and design patterns
- Enhanced reasoning and decision-making capabilities  
- Better integration with external tools and resources
- More effective training and fine-tuning approaches

## When to Use

- Developing or improving autonomous agent systems
- Building reasoning-centric applications
- Creating multi-domain or cross-functional AI systems
- Implementing safe and verifiable agent behavior
- Enhancing model capabilities through training or adaptation

## When NOT to Use

- Simple rule-based automation tasks without learning requirements
- Real-time systems with extreme latency constraints (sub-10ms)
- Domains requiring certified safety guarantees beyond current approaches
- Narrow single-domain applications without generalization needs

## Key Concepts

The research contributes to the field by addressing:
1. Agent architecture and composition
2. Reasoning and planning mechanisms
3. Multi-domain capability transfer
4. Evaluation and verification approaches
5. Training efficiency and effectiveness
