I-have-ADHD: A skill to stop coding agents from burying the answer
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
A GitHub repository offering coding agent skill files for concise, ADHD-friendly output.
The repository provides skill configurations for coding agents like Claude and Cursor to produce concise, structured responses. It supports multiple platforms through plugins and hooks, includes evaluation harnesses for quality, and aims to prevent agents from burying answers in verbose text. The skill files are distributed separately from development tooling.
What commenters are saying
Some commenters find the skill unnecessary, using simple prompts like 'be concise' or specifying TLDR requests. Others note that giving agents a reason for conciseness improves consistency. A significant thread discusses discomfort with people who do not have ADHD using the term to describe mild inattention, while acknowledging that coping strategies are universally applicable. The repository's 59-file structure is explained as including evaluation harnesses, not just the skill itself.
