i-have-adhd

Makes your AI coding assistant give short, action-first answers with numbered steps instead of long rambles.

Fast-risingNew this week

What it does

This is a "skill", a set of written instructions you add to an AI coding assistant such as Claude Code. It changes how the assistant writes its replies. The goal is to stop the useful answer from getting buried in chatter.

With it installed, the assistant leads with the next thing to do, numbers the steps, and ends with one clear next step. It skips greetings, recaps and lines like "Hope this helps!" The makers describe the output as ADHD-friendly, though you don't need an ADHD diagnosis to use it.

It follows ten written rules, such as keeping lists to five items and giving time estimates in minutes. The makers say it is loosely based on the book The Adult ADHD Tool Kit. You can copy the project and edit the rules to suit yourself.

Who it's for

People who use AI coding assistants and want shorter, clearer, step-by-step answers, including people with ADHD who find long replies hard to follow.

Can I use it without coding?

With some setup. You install it by pasting one sentence into your coding assistant, but you need a command-line coding assistant already set up. New to this? Start here.

Can I run it?

Computer
An ordinary computer is fine

Try it

  1. Open your command-line AI coding assistant.
  2. Paste the install sentence from the README, which tells the assistant to install the skill from the project's page.
  3. Restart your coding assistant and call the skill by typing /i-have-adhd.

Using Claude Code, Cursor or another AI coding assistant? Paste the prompt and it will walk you through the setup.New to this?
