i-have-adhd: replies shaped so you can act on the first line Agents often open with musings, wander into side issues and close with hope this helps, leaving the actual action buried mid-paragraph. i-have-adhd applies ten rules written for a reader with ADHD: the first line is something to do, steps are numbered, estimates are concrete and every turn restates where the task stands. No diagnosis is needed to benefit.

Agents Claude Code What it does The first line is something you can do now, such as a command, a file path or a snippet; any explanation comes after. Multi-step work becomes a numbered list in which each step is one bounded action. Every turn restates progress, for example step 3 of 5 done, plus what comes next. Time estimates in real units, lists capped at five per group, and side issues offered as a separate question at the end. After three turns of still broken, the agent stops patching, names the assumption that may be wrong and asks one diagnostic question. When to use it Long replies are hard to hold in your head and you keep losing track of which step you were on. The agent piles on side advice when you need to finish one task first. A debugging session is going in circles and you want one diagnostic question instead of another patch. Ask your agent /i-have-adhd how do I add magic-link login to my Next.js app? Roughly how long will moving the database to PostgreSQL take? Give minutes or hours stop adhd mode, now walk me through how the cache works in detail Before you install It is text rules only, with no scripts. It never turns on by itself: you invoke /i-have-adhd, and it stays on for the session until you say stop adhd mode or normal mode.
Questions How do I turn on i-have-adhd? The skill is set not to load automatically, so type /i-have-adhd. It then applies to every reply until you say stop adhd mode or normal mode.
Do I need an ADHD diagnosis to use it? No. The author says so outright; the rules help anyone who is tired of preambles and answers hidden in the middle.
What are the i-have-adhd rules based on? They loosely follow The Adult ADHD Tool Kit by J. Russell Ramsay and Anthony L. Rostain, adapted to how a language model should answer.
