GitHub Skill i-have-adhd Stops Coding Agents Burying Answers

Hacker News •

A new GitHub skill named i-have-adhd aims to improve how coding assistants deliver answers. The tool focuses on ADHD-friendly output by prioritizing action first and structuring responses with numbered steps. It explicitly avoids common tangents like introductory pleasantries or recap sections.

The skill provides clear, matter-of-fact error handling and caps lists at five items to reduce cognitive load. Users can install the plugin via CLI or follow specific repository instructions in AGENTS.md. The project is adapted from The Adult ADHD Tool Kit and is distributed under an MIT license.

It is designed for large language model responses rather than human daily organization. The creator encourages users to star the repository if the skill saves them from scrolling past repeated apologies. The tool addresses frequent frustrations with AI coding assistants that bury answers under verbose explanations.
