I’ve had this pathos for years. Currently in bathroom corner with indirect light from small side windows and skylight. The leaves are getting smaller and yellowing. I only water if they are limping. The picture is a small pot of cuttings. These yellow also. Am I missing a specific nutrient?

Yes, sunlight.
If you wait to water til the plant gets limp, you’re waiting a bit too long. Water when the top inch or so of the soil is dry. My pothos’ usually want a drink every 1-2 weeks, depending on type of pothos/soil/location/pot size/pot material.
You mention a skylight, which is not seen in the picture, but if the plant isn’t currently getting enough light from the three windows you could try to move it closer to one of the windows. In general you want your plant to be able to “see” the sky, if you were to look from its point of view.
As for nutrients, just fertilize with a balanced fertilizer (whatever generic houseplant fertilizer you can find should be fine, pothos aren’t picky from my experience) roughly every other watering or once a month, less or none at all during the winter season.
