I Have ADHD

I Have ADHD is a coding assistant skill that stops agents from burying answers by leading with action first.

This product is a skill for coding assistants designed to stop them from burying the answer. It provides direct, action-first responses, numbers multi-step tasks, and ends with one concrete next step. The tool suppresses tangents, restates state every turn, provides specific time estimates, makes wins visible, reports errors matter-of-factly, caps lists to five items, and removes preambles, recaps, and closers. Users can install it via the CLI and tune it by editing the SKILL.md file. It is loosely based on The Adult ADHD Tool Kit and is distributed under an MIT license.
