Rincian
Standard
Tentang だけしか
だけしか is a combination of two adverbial particles, だけ 'only', and しか 'nothing but'. This structure primarily follows nouns, before part (B) of the sentence will have a corresponding ない based word.
Despite all of these possibilities, it should be noted that だけしか～ない is an expression that appears with negative verbs, far more than any of the other combinations.
Fun Fact
だけしか may appear as though it is saying 'only' twice, but each particle has its own specific nuance. These nuances are as follows:
だけ - Removes one thing (from within a group), and presents it as the 'only' thing that fits a certain criteria.
しか - Highlights something that exists by itself as not having any alternatives.
Due to this, each meaning compounds together, with だけ saying 'just this', while しか adds 'and only this!'. Reversing the order and putting しか before だけ would not work, as the sequence of selection needs to be logical.

I also came to this discussion thread hoping to find some insight into how the example sentences seem to showcase contradictory meanings. Did anyone here ever come to a conclusion about how to pick up on that nuance? Is it just one of those things that requires greater context to gauge the meaning?

The example sentence that was being discussed above has been changed to use 下手 instead of 上手, so the conclusion appears to be that that particular contradiction was a mistake in the example sentence.

Could you please remove the “at the beginning/end” from the hint “Could you add something to the beginning?” / “Could you add something to the end?” when you only submit だけ or しか? Every time this comes up I try one of those two first (because I assume it’s just that), and then the hint basically gives away the whole thing without me having to think whether it was だけしか or しかだけ… something I’m not confident I would’ve actually remembered. For me this is almost the same as if you would write “Did you mean だけしか?” as the hint.
(After a series of this happening probably 6 times or so, and having completely forgotten that だけしか even exists, this happened again just now… and Bunpro would’ve marked it as “mastered” if I hadn’t deliberately failed it after getting that same super-obvious hint. )
