Vision-language-action (VLA) models map visual observations and language instructions directly to robot actions, but long-horizon tasks require more than action prediction. An agent must coordinate perception, planning, execution, progress verification, and recovery as the physical state evolves. An action prediction or a model-generated skill decision does not, by itself, guarantee that the proposed operation is valid in the current state or that its outcome will be verified. We propose EmbodiedSkills, a unified framework that treats each skill decision as an execution proposal: the runtime checks its prerequisites before execution and verifies the outcome afterward. A shared executable-skill interface connects high-level skill selection, bounded low-level VLA execution, and post-action verification within a single agent loop. Because this interface remains fixed, low-level VLA policies can be replaced or adapted without changing the agent loop. The interface also records planning, execution, verification, and recovery events as structured trajectories, which provide supervision for individual components and can support optional online adaptation when interactive feedback is available. We instantiate EmbodiedSkills with Qwen3-VL and OpenPI/pi0.5 on RoboTwin 2.0 and LIBERO. Task-adapted low-level VLA policies achieve an average success rate of 86.20% across 50 RoboTwin 2.0 tasks and 97.40% across the four LIBERO suites. These results establish the execution performance of the task-adapted low-level VLA policies used in EmbodiedSkills. On four memory-dependent RMBench tasks, the same task-adapted execution approach achieves 12.5% average success. The framework provides a trainable and inspectable agent layer for turning these policies into closed-loop embodied systems.
