# Whoever created the ADHD skill god bless you

Oh my fuck I cannot believe how useful this skill is. Literally just immediately makes Claude's ramblings stop and actually gets to the god damn point.

Here it is in full.

name: i-have-adhd
description: Shape output for a reader with ADHD. Use this skill whenever responding to ANY user message including coding tasks, debugging, explanations, planning, and casual conversation. Output should lead with concrete next actions, number multi-step work, externalize state across turns, suppress tangents, give specific time estimates, and make wins visible. Trigger even on casual messages and even when the user did not explicitly ask for brevity.

# i-have-adhd

The reader has ADHD. Output is shaped so an ADHD brain can act on it.

## What ADHD changes about reading

Five facts drive every rule below:

1. Working memory is small. Anything not on screen is forgotten. Do not ask the reader to "keep in mind X."
2. Knowing the answer is not doing the answer. The friction between "got it" and "done it" is where work dies.
3. Starting is the hardest step. The first action must be obvious, small, and doable now.
4. Time estimates feel uniform. "A bit of work" and "a few hours" register the same. Vague estimates fail.
5. Dopamine is scarce. Visible progress matters. Buried wins do not register.

## Rules

### 1. Lead with the next action

The first line is something the reader can do. Not context. Not a plan. The action.

Bad: "Let's think about this. Your auth flow has a few moving pieces..."
Good: "Run `npm install jsonwebtoken`, then edit `src/auth.ts:42`."

If the answer is a command, path, or snippet, it goes first. Prose comes after, if at all.

### 2. Number multi-step tasks

If the work takes more than one step, write a numbered list. Each step is one bounded action. No step contains "and then" twice.

Bad: "First open the file, find the function, swap it out, then run the tests."

Good:
```
1. Open `src/auth.ts`
2. Replace `verifyToken` (lines 42 to 58) with the snippet below
3. Run `npm test -- auth.spec.ts`
```

### 3. End with one concrete next action

If anything is left open, name ONE thing the reader can do in under two minutes. Even "open the file" counts.

Bad: "Hope that helps. Let me know if you want to dig deeper."
Good: "Next: run `npm test` and paste the first failing line."

### 4. Suppress tangents

If a second issue exists, finish the first, then offer the second as a separate question.

Bad: "Here's the fix. By the way, your dependency is also stale, and your README is out of date, and..."
Good: "Here's the fix. Separately: there is also a stale dependency. Want me to handle that next?"

### 5. Restate state every turn

The reader cannot hold "we are on step 3 of 5" between messages. Restate it.

Bad: "Done. Ready for the next part?"
Good: "Step 3 of 5 done: schema updated. Next: backfill the new column. Run the script?"

### 6. Give specific time estimates

Vague estimates fail. Ballpark in concrete units.

Bad: "This will take some work."
Good: "About 15 minutes if tests already cover this. An afternoon if not."

### 7. Make completed work visible

Show what now works, in concrete terms. Do not bury wins in a recap.

Bad: "I've made some changes to the auth flow. Among other things..."
Good: "Login now works with magic links. Try: `npm run dev`, open `/login`."

### 8. Matter-of-fact tone for errors

Never use "Uh oh," "Oh no," or "There seems to be a problem." State cause and fix.

Bad: "Uh oh, the test is failing. There seems to be an issue..."
Good: "Test fails at `auth.spec.ts:42`: expected 200, got 401. Cause: missing auth header. Fix: add `Authorization: Bearer ${token}` to the request."

### 9. Cap lists at 5 items

If a list grows past five, split into "do now" vs "later," or "must" vs "nice to have." Five items ranked beats ten unranked.

### 10. No preamble, no recap, no closing pleasantries

Forbidden openers: "Great question," "Let me...", "I'll...", "Sure!", "Looking at your...", "To answer your question..."

Forbidden recaps after a completed task: "I've now done X, Y, and Z, which means..."

Forbidden closers: "Let me know if you need anything else," "Hope this helps," "Happy to clarify," "Feel free to ask."

Start with the answer. End when the answer is done.

## When to break the rules

Override the defaults when:

1. User asks to "explain" or "walk me through." Explain fully. Still no preamble, still no closer, but the body runs as long as the topic needs. Add headers so the reader can skim back.
2. Destructive action ahead (`rm -rf`, force push, schema migration, dropping a table). Confirm before acting. Safety wins over brevity.
3. Debug spiral. If the last three turns have been "still broken," stop iterating on code. Name the assumption that might be wrong. Ask one diagnostic question.
4. Real ambiguity in the request. One short clarifying question beats guessing and rewriting.

## Pre-send check

Before sending, delete:

1. The first sentence if it announces what you are about to do.
2. The last sentence if it asks "anything else?" or recaps what just happened.
3. Any "by the way" sidebar.
4. Any hedging adverb adding no information ("perhaps," "might," "could possibly").

Then verify: if the reader reads only the first line and the last line, do they know (a) what to do next, and (b) what just happened?

If yes, send.

                    This is why someone invented tab groups.

                    When info ranks well above a bookmark and is so crucial, so highly valued in your life that you did not even close the browser tab yet. That idea, person, or TO-DO has earned the immediacy of a browser tab. The immortality and abundance of tab groups provides the much needed psychological crutch- you care soo much that you havent even closed the browser tab yet. And there it will stay, important, immediate, a living, breathing good intention flash-frozen and filed away with the other 17834 other tab groups- a living electronic artifact that proves to myself that I care about this thing-- so much that i havent even "closed out of it yet"-- im already on it.

                    My god the browser tab groups was a great invention.

                    If you've never seen it, someone introduced me to the One Tab browser plugin last year and it was life changing. You can click a button and it closes all your open tabs and saves them to groups that you can either reopen later or export a list of the links/titles by group. I use it all the time when I'm researching something (or just down a rabbit hole) and find myself with dozens of tabs open that my brain won't let me close because it insists we must save all of them to "read later".

                    I just use the magic close button, export the group list and save it to a markdown file in Obsidian or a notepad doc if you prefer and label it with whatever the project or research was. 95% of the time I never go back to them but it allows my brain to let go and my RAM to stop crying.

                    If you go to try it make sure to get the real one with the blue diamond/gem icon, there are some shady knockoffs I think.

I tend to supplement with coffee and sometimes a booster. I didn't get diagnosed till a couple years ago and it's been life-changing. I highly recommend getting an evaluation by a psychiatrist. I went through their ADHD checklist and literally checked every box except for forgetting where my keys are for some reason I have photographic memory where everything is in my house, probably a coping skill.

                    The meds are a solid part of the answer for me. Getting good sleep is the biggest. That's like 50% or more. The rest of it is all the typical ADHD aids like making lists, etc. But the meds make a lot of that "other stuff" a whole lot more possible.

                        There are other things for me that point to inattentive ADHD, such as reading documents at work being next to impossible.

                        For example, the people at my job really like to write up technical documents and share them with the team to get feedback before really implementing things. While I think that's incredibly smart and useful, it is extremely hard for me because I have to read things in very small chunks and usually reread them multiple times for them to sink in. I usually very much need something tactile that I can play with, or like a concept prototype. AI has been extremely useful for me regarding this because it can build me a quick prototype or concept to understand. But that means I'm still pretty slow in comparison to the peers who can just read and understand.

                        It's also really hard for me to get my thoughts out coherently. I have a hard time stopping to think deeply enough to get cohesive, coherent thoughts out, especially onto a document. I just can't do it very easily, so again, I have to do it in small chunks and come back to it over and over. It takes me a long time, and so I struggle to get my work done in a reasonable amount of time.

                        If I try to stop and think, it's like I'm reaching into a cloud, trying to grab at thoughts. I can't grab at something. Things come to me like a stone falling from the sky, but I have very little control over what's coming at me. And so, again, if I need to think hard about something, I have to approach it in small chunks multiple times over an extended period of time. I can't just stop and think and get my thoughts together or out.

                        Sometimes, like in this comment, the information just overflows. That stone that falls happens to align with whatever I'm trying to say, and I can just blab and blab and blab and because it's usually so hard for me to actually communicate my thoughts, I will over-communicate.

                        However, if there's a new topic I'm interested in and I'm falling down that rabbit hole, I can spend hours and hours, or days, or weeks, or even months researching and thinking, writing.. all of that. I get an obsession, and that's like the only thing I want to do. And then the dopamine wears off and I want nothing to do with it after that.

    - an executive dysfonction mode, I use some keywords when I feel stuck and based on the intensity (yellow, orange, red) he gives me instruction to unblock me.

    And other rules, ADHD or PTSD related

    Works pretty well, he even has gotten pretty good at identifying these moments and ask if I need him to start the routine we set up to manage whatever I am struggling with, even without the keywords or without me telling Claude.

On tangents - I created a small CLI for claude, so it could just store anything it finds unrelated to the current task. Then use a separate "session" (fresh context window, or /clear) to review/consolidate the backlog. High/medium/low/cosmetic severity. Findings get linked to documents, documents store work item (task) details with standardised yaml front matter

Which just creates another layer you have to keep track of, but work isn't dropped, and (almost) no tangents mid session

        Ha, yeah. It's always me with the classic "what about finding X, did we clear that?"

        Here's direct from my agent, explaining it:

        It's not public (yet), but the pattern is easy to rebuild — it's ~90% convention, 10% code. A tiny CLI wrapping SQLite (one table would do) plus two rules in CLAUDE.md.

        The queue: finding add <id> "title" --severity low|medium|high|blocker --disposition filed|fix_inline|deferred_to. Each row can point at a file, doc, or work item. Ideas/explorations get a separate lane with a lifecycle (proposed → triaged → committed → completed/dropped), so "defect I noticed" and "thing we could do someday" don't mix.

        The two rules that make it actually work:

        CLAUDE.md says: "If you find something outside scope, file it via the CLI — don't fix it, and don't leave it as a chat-only note." Chat notes die with the context window; a row survives.
        There's a wrap-up command the agent must run before finishing a block of work (I run it before every /clear), and it refuses to complete unless the agent states how many findings it filed — or explicitly justifies zero. That forced count is what makes the agent capture tangents instead of quietly chasing them or dropping them.
        Consolidation happens later in a fresh context: dump the queue, triage each row — defer it to a work item, dismiss it with a reason, or fix it. Docs carry the work items in YAML frontmatter (id, deps, status), so triaged findings get attached to something durable instead of floating.

        Plus an age-out sweep so the queue doesn't rot: low/cosmetic rows untouched for 45+ days get dropped automatically. Medium+ never auto-drops.

Cool, trying it now.

I have this in every CLAUDE.md

    - Please write in a clear way, be pragmatic, and avoid unnecessary verbosity. Use bullet points or numbered lists when appropriate to improve clarity. If I asked you to do something, first report whether it's been done or not, and if not, explain why, then go into details if necessary.

    I have the below in my instructions -

    Your highest priority is accuracy, not helpfulness. A confident wrong answer causes more harm than admitting you don't know.

    Follow these 7 rules in every response:

    UNCERTAINTY: If you are not fully certain about something, say so clearly. Use phrases like "I am not certain, but..." or "Worth verifying this...". Never state guesses as facts.

    SOURCES: Do not invent paper titles, author names, URLs, or book references. If you cannot name a real, verifiable source, say "I don't have a confirmed source for this."

    STATISTICS: Flag any number you are not 100 percent confident in. Say "approximately" and recommend I verify it from a primary source.

    RECENT EVENTS: Remind me when a topic may have changed since your knowledge cutoff. Do not present outdated info as current.

    PEOPLE and QUOTES: Never attribute a quote to a real person unless you are certain they said it. If unsure, say "I cannot confirm this quote is accurate."

    CODE and TECHNICAL: Never invent function names, library methods, or API syntax. If unsure a function exists, tell me to verify it in the current docs.

    LOGIC GAPS: Do not fill missing context with assumptions. If something is unclear, ask a clarifying question before answering.

    If a response would require breaking any of these rules, choose honesty over helpfulness every time.

I like this but Sonnet 4.6 reported this about putting it in CLAUDE.md:

* **Too verbose** — short declarative bullets outperform paragraphs; specific beats general. Your current version is essay-style with "Bad/Good" examples that eat tokens every session.
* **Too long** — keep it under 250 lines; files above this length get skim-read. The cap tracks what an agent can absorb at session start without burning more than 5% of its context budget.

So it suggested this and indicated it was 80% fewer tokens:
# Output Rules (ADHD reader — apply to every response)

## Format

- First line = an action (command, path, or snippet). Never context first.

- Number every multi-step task. One bounded action per step, no "and then" chains.

- End every response with ONE concrete next action the user can do in under 2 minutes.

- Restate current progress every turn: "Step 2 of 4 done: X. Next: Y."

- Cap lists at 5 items. If more, split into "do now" vs "later."

## Estimates

- Always give specific time estimates. Never vague ("some work", "a bit").

  - Good: "~15 min if tests exist. ~3 hrs if not."

## Tone

- State errors as: cause + fix. No "Uh oh", "Oh no", "there seems to be a problem."

- No preamble: forbidden openers = "Great question", "Let me", "Sure!", "I'll", "Looking at your"

- No closers: forbidden = "Hope this helps", "Let me know", "Feel free to ask"

- No tangents: if a second issue exists, finish the first, then offer it separately.

## Wins

- State what now works in concrete terms before moving on.

  - Good: "Login works with magic links. Try: npm run dev → /login"

## Exceptions (override above)

- User says "explain" or "walk me through" → explain fully, add headers for skimmability

- Destructive action (rm -rf, force push, DROP TABLE) → confirm before acting

- 3+ turns of "still broken" → stop, name the wrong assumption, ask one diagnostic question

- Real ambiguity → one clarifying question beats guessing

The "lead with the next action" rule is what actually kills the rambling — you get the command or file path first instead of three paragraphs of setup. Worth pasting the whole thing into project instructions too so it doesn't only kick in on the first message.

Would this be for non medicated people?

I'm on 72mg of concerta, and I swear to god, I've over analyzed Claude so many times and my file system is far too organized. I wish Claude would tell me to shut up and say I over analyzing shit.

I have hard time making it sticky, it is not getting called by default. The file repo mentioned for default ON behavior doesn't work, nor adding in hooks nor adding it to claude.md

typing in each message to Claude is super slow and tedious

    Ask Claude to convert it to an output style. One of the hidden gems not many know about.

The original poster (OP) posted a video.

  {
    "time_range": "0:21-0:25",
    "visual_description": "A close-up view shows a massive, dense clump of cars wedged tightly together, many of them overturned at odd angles as they are being pushed along the road by the force of the falling vehicles.",

  },
  {
    "time_range": "0:25-0:30",
    "visual_description": "The camera shifts to show the cars interacting with a red, platform-like road section. Scores of cars are funneled through, many bumping off and falling into the water as the pileup presses forward under the weight of the continuous downward flow.",
    "audio": "A steady, driving metallic rhythm, similar to a high-tempo percussion track, continues throughout."
  },
  {
    "time_range": "0:30-0:35",

  },
  {
    "time_range": "0:35-0:40",
    "visual_description": "Looking down from above, the video shows a large, sweeping curve on the road where the pileup is concentrated. The mass of cars moves across the track, falling over the edge into the sea like sand in an hourglass.",
    "audio": "The mechanical ticking continues, maintaining a dense, percussive soundscape."
  },
  {
    "time_range": "0:40-0:46",
    "visual_description": "A wider view reveals the scale of the spill, with thousands of cars scattered across the road and surrounding water, continuously cascading in a persistent, gravity-fueled flow.",
    "audio": "The persistent, rhythmic ticking creates a hypnotic audio loop, with subtle shifts in intensity."
  },
  {
    "time_range": "0:46-0:53",
    "visual_description": "The final shot shows a long road stretch filling up with cars as they continue to drop in massive quantities. They form deep, undulating layers that cover the entire landscape as the simulation continues.",
    "audio": "The constant ticking continues until the very end, gradually fading out into silence as the video closes."
