What is it?

i-have-adhd is a skill for coding assistants such as Claude Code. It changes how the assistant formats its replies so the answer comes first: the next action is stated up front, multi-step tasks are numbered, and greetings, tangents and closing summaries are removed.

The skill is built around a short set of rules, including capping lists at five items, giving time estimates in minutes, restating the current state each turn, and ending with one concrete next step. The full rule set lives in SKILL.md, and the project is distributed as a Claude plugin with install instructions for Claude Code.

It is aimed at developers who find long, chatty AI answers hard to act on. The project notes that it is adapted for how an LLM should respond, and that no ADHD diagnosis is needed to use it. Forks can edit the SKILL.md file to tune the rules.
