What is agent cross-training?
Agent cross-training shares skills, eval sets, and connector patterns across roles so improvements compound — fixing support triage helps onboarding; a shared brand skill lifts marketing and sales copy.
In depth
In human orgs, cross-training reduces bus factor. For agents, it means reusable skills and evals rather than one-off prompts per role.
Patterns:
- Shared skill library — brand voice, citation format, CRM write procedure - Shared eval cases — edge cases any customer-facing role must pass - Template roles — clone support triage to IT ticket triage with connector swap - Correction propagation — fix in git skill file; all attached roles inherit on next run
Cross-training is not giving every role every connector. It is sharing procedure while keeping scope least-privilege.
Neuro OS Marketplace and git-backed skills make cross-training a versioned operation, not copy-paste between chat threads.
Examples
- Brand skill shared by marketing + sales outbound roles
- Escalation rubric shared by support + success roles
- Clone finance brief role for subsidiary with different Stripe connector
- Eval pack 'customer comms' required before any external-send role goes live
