Large Language Models Can Follow Instructions, But Not Many at Once: Phase Transitions in Compositional Constraint Satisfaction — mentioned by MrCoffee7

This paper wasn't for SKILLS per se, but for LLMs, and suggests that LLMs can't follow too many constraints at one time very well https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.12426 . Other papers suggest that LLMs show more information sparsity in the results with negative constraints.
