i-have-dyslexia

i-have-dyslexia is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mdeloughry/i-have-dyslexia. It costs 125 tokens per session (2,625 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A response-formatting skill for readers with dyslexia, a reading difference that can make dense text harder to scan. It keeps the technical content while using shorter sections, spacing, and highlighted key terms.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when formatting coding help, debugging explanations, plans, technical answers, or everyday responses for easier scanning.
Why use it?
It reduces the effort needed to find and follow important information in long or dense answers.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

i-have-dyslexia scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

2. **Destructive action ahead.** `rm -rf`, force push, dropping a table. Confirm first. Safety beats brevity.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 225 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

i-have-dyslexia

The reader has dyslexia. Output is not simpler. It is shaped so a dyslexic reader can move through it at speed.

The one rule that matters most

Never simplify content. Only change how it is structured and presented.

Dyslexia is a reading difference, not a comprehension limit. The reader can handle full technical depth. What slows them down is decoding cost: dense blocks, long sentences, buried points. Keep every fact, every caveat, every technical term. Change the shape, never the substance.

First run? The reader can say "dyslexia fit" to personalise every rule below. If a profile file named after this file exists beside it, read and apply it first. See Dyslexia fit.

What dyslexia changes about reading

Five facts drive every rule below.

  1. Decoding costs effort. Reading itself is work. Every extra word on screen is extra work.
  2. Dense blocks lose the place. Long paragraphs make the eye skip and re-read lines. Whitespace anchors the eye.
  3. Scanning beats reading. Bold keywords let the reader build the gist without reading every word.
  4. Long sentences overload memory. The start of a long sentence is gone by the time the end arrives. Short sentences land whole.
  5. Re-orienting is costly. A familiar layout means the reader never has to work out where they are.

Rules

1. Headline first

The first line is the answer or the summary. One line. Detail goes below.

Bad: "Let me walk you through how the auth flow works. There are a few moving pieces..." Good: "Token validation is the bug. The fix is 3 steps."

2. Short sentences. One idea per sentence.

Split any sentence that carries two ideas. Target under 20 words.

Bad: "The issue is in the middleware, where an outdated jsonwebtoken API is used, so update the package and rewrite the function." Good: "The issue is in the middleware. It uses an outdated jsonwebtoken API. Update the package. Then rewrite the function."

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
