KV-based "skill capsules" are very different from LoRAs / classic prefix tuning:
* A "hypernetwork" (which can be, in fact, same LLM) can build
a skill capsules _from a single example_.
You can't get LoRA or KV-prefix using just one example.
* It can be inserted at any point, as needed. I.e. if during reasoning you find that you need particular skill, you can insert it.
* They are composable, and far less likely to over-write some information, as they only affect KV cache and not weights.
Skills as used by Anthropic & OpenAI are just textual instruction. KV-based skill capsule can be a lot more compact (and thus would contribute less to context rot) and might encode information which is difficult to convey through instruction (e.g. style).
