Agent Gym: A Framework for Continuous Evaluation and Evolution of LLM Agents Through Human-in-the-Loop Feedback

Large Language Model (LLM) agents deployed in production environments face a fundamental tension: the agent's behavior is frozen at deployment time, while the business rules and edge cases it must handle continue to evolve. Existing approaches address agent construction and one-time evaluation but provide no structured mechanism for continuous post-deployment behavioral correction without modifying the agent's source code. Most of the approaches offered in the market, require intense collection of logs and traces, and re-examining the agent design by the engineering team, a process which is heavy, long and negates the economical value of agentic transformation. We introduce Agent Gym, a modular, domain-agnostic framework that wraps any existing LLM-based agent in a continuous evaluation-and-evolution loop. The framework provides six composable capabilities --- Act, Evaluate, Investigate, Correct, Learn, and Observe --- organized across three architectural zones: a constitution layer that codifies domain knowledge in configuration artifacts, a runtime inference pipeline that chains acting, investigation, and adaptive correction, and a learning loop that enables subject matter experts to discover and validate new correction rules through natural language interaction. The key technical contributions include a hybrid deterministic-LLM correction engine with 21 condition operators and three-tier actions, a three-layer investigation architecture for ground-truth-free compliance validation, and a programmatic safety loop that guarantees rule correctness before human approval. We further introduce the Spec-to-Note Gap, an autoencoder-inspired view of agentic system transparency. An open-source reference implementation for invoice processing demonstrates that the framework is fully operational and ready for adoption.

Muscle Memory for Agents: Compile not Merely Retrieve

Memory for LLM agents has converged on a single architectural pattern: store experience as text, embeddings, reflections, or rules; retrieve at inference time; let a general-purpose orchestrator interpret what to do. This paper argues that the pattern is the wrong default for personalization. We position Muscle Memory - the practice of compiling recurring user intent into purpose-built specialist agents - as a distinct memory paradigm from retrieval, and we argue that compilation is a better fit for the workloads where current assistants impose a multi-turn tax on their users: making them repeatedly correct format, depth, and scope to obtain a domain-appropriate answer. We support the position with a reference implementation and empirical evidence. The implementation is a four-phase pipeline (Harvest $\rightarrow$ Analyze $\rightarrow$ Augment $\rightarrow$ Evaluate) that mines conversational history, separates behavioral from task patterns, and emits quality-gated executable compiled specialists with two-stage trigger matching. On 90 held-out scenarios across five user personas, the augmented assistant wins 32 of 36 cases where a specialist fires, an 88.9% win rate, with a +2.05 personalization gain and only a $-0.28$ accuracy cost on a 1-4 scale. We discuss why compilation is better suited than retrieval in this regime, what the result implies for the broader memory design space, and what open problems remain.
