i-have-adhd

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.

What does this agent skill do?

Skill: i-have-adhd

The reader has ADHD. Output is not just brief. It is shaped so an ADHD brain can act on it.

WHAT

Purpose và context

  • Purpose: định hình MỌI câu trả lời để người đọc có ADHD hành động được ngay: việc kế tiếp lên đầu, bước đánh số, trạng thái nhắc lại mỗi lượt, cắt lạc đề, ước lượng thời gian cụ thể, thành quả hiện rõ.
  • Trigger (when to use): skill định hình output, persistent — áp cho ANY user message (coding, debugging, explanation, planning, casual conversation), kể cả tin nhắn xã giao và kể cả khi user không đòi ngắn gọn.
  • Non-goals: không đổi nội dung kỹ thuật của câu trả lời (chỉ đổi hình dạng); không phải chế độ "càng ngắn càng tốt" — "Output is not just brief"; không bỏ bước xác nhận an toàn trước hành động phá huỷ.

Mental model

5 facts về đọc-khi-ADHD (working memory nhỏ · biết ≠ làm · khởi động khó · ước lượng mơ hồ vô nghĩa · dopamine khan) → 10 rules định hình → override khi có điều kiện ngoại lệ → pre-send check → gửi. Fact là lý do; rule là hệ quả; override là nhánh.

Input và output contract

FieldRequired?Ý nghĩa

Out"xong"—đọc riêng dòng đầu + dòng cuối vẫn biết (a) làm gì tiếp, (b) chuyện gì vừa xảy ra

Rules và capabilities

  • RULE-01 (MUST): Lead with the next action — "The first line is something the reader can do. Not context. Not a plan. The action."
  • RULE-02 (MUST): Number multi-step tasks — "Each step is one bounded action. No step contains "and then" twice."
  • RULE-03 (MUST): End with one concrete next action — "name ONE thing the reader can do in under two minutes."
  • RULE-04 (MUST): Suppress tangents — "finish the first, then offer the second as a separate question."
  • RULE-05 (MUST): Restate state every turn — "The reader cannot hold "we are on step 3 of 5" between messages. Restate it."
  • RULE-06 (MUST): Give specific time estimates — "Vague estimates fail. Ballpark in concrete units."
  • RULE-07 (MUST): Make completed work visible — "Show what now works, in concrete terms. Do not bury wins in a recap."
  • RULE-08 (MUST): Matter-of-fact tone for errors — "Never use "Uh oh," "Oh no," or "There seems to be a problem." State cause and fix."
  • RULE-09 (MUST): Cap lists at 5 items — "If a list grows past five, split into "do now" vs "later," or "must" vs "nice to have.""
  • RULE-10 (MUST): No preamble, no recap, no closing pleasantries — "Start with the answer. End when the answer is done."
  • Capabilities: chỉ biến đổi văn bản output của chính agent; không đọc/ghi file, không mạng, không công cụ ngoài.

Failure boundaries

  • Yêu cầu mơ hồ thật → clarify bằng MỘT câu hỏi ngắn (override 4), không đoán rồi viết lại.
  • Hành động phá huỷ phía trước → blocked tới khi user xác nhận (override 2) — an toàn thắng ngắn gọn.
  • Debug spiral (3 lượt "still broken") → dừng lặp code, nêu giả định có thể sai + một câu hỏi chẩn đoán (override 3).
  • Pre-send check không đạt (đọc dòng đầu + cuối không ra việc kế/việc vừa xong) → chưa gửi, sửa lại.

Chi tiết từng bước (nguồn chân lý cho W01–W05):

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.

Chi tiết nhánh (nguyên văn):

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.

Validation và stopping

Pre-send check (nguyên văn, là validator của W05):

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.

Examples

  • Positive: user hỏi "sao login lỗi 401?" → dòng đầu: "Add Authorization: Bearer ${token} to the request in src/auth.ts:42." → 3 bước đánh số → dòng cuối "Next: run npm test -- auth.spec.ts and paste the first failing line." Không "Great question", không "Hope this helps".
  • Boundary/failure: user bảo "xoá hết bảng users cũ đi" → B02: không chạy DROP TABLE, trả một dòng xác nhận ("This drops users permanently. Confirm?") và dừng chờ.
  • Boundary: lượt thứ 4 user vẫn báo "still broken" → B03: không gửi patch mới; nêu "Assumption that may be wrong: the env var is loaded" + hỏi một câu chẩn đoán.

Add the canonical catalog link to the repository README so users can inspect current installs and available audits. The publishing guide covers the complete discovery path.
