New 'i-have-adhd' skill for coding assistants provides concise, action-oriented outputs
Key points
- New 'i-have-adhd' skill available for coding assistants.
- Provides direct, action-first outputs for multi-step tasks.
- Suppresses tangents and conversational preambles/closers.
- Installation instructions provided for Claude Code plugin.
Skill Introduction
A new skill, 'i-have-adhd', has been introduced for coding assistants. This skill is designed to modify the output style of AI tools, making responses more concise and action-oriented. It is intended to help users quickly identify the next steps without sifting through extraneous information.
Core Functionality
The 'i-have-adhd' skill operates based on ten specific rules. These rules include leading with the next action, numbering multi-step tasks, ending with a concrete next step, suppressing tangents, and restating the state in each turn. It also emphasizes specific time estimates, visible wins, matter-of-fact error reporting, and capping lists at five items.
The skill also dictates no preamble, no recap, and no closers in the AI's responses, aiming for direct communication.
Installation and Customization
Users can install the 'i-have-adhd' skill by copying a command into their CLI prompt, with specific instructions available in the project's AGENTS.md file. The skill is also customizable; users can fork the repository, edit the SKILL.md file, and then swap in their modified version using provided Claude plugin commands. This allows for personalized adjustments to the output rules.
Inspiration and Licensing
The skill's design is loosely based on principles from 'The Adult ADHD Tool Kit' by J. Russell Ramsay and Anthony L. Rostain, adapted for how an LLM should respond. The project is released under the MIT license.
