ISM maintains a self-refined bank of verified strategy schemas to enable continual mathematical reasoning in frozen LLMs, outperforming baselines on MATH-Hard and OlympiadBench while using 64-86% fewer schemas.

Partial harnesses for LLM agents, specifying only initial execution steps, achieve higher pass rates than fully decomposed workflows, as analyzed through trajectory alignment and validated in synthetic and terminal benchmarks.
