adhd

adhd is a skill for Claude Code from oyi77/1ai-skills. It costs 69 tokens per session (3,351 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A brainstorming method that creates several independent solution ideas, compares them, and develops the strongest ones. It is intended for open-ended problems where the first answer may not be the best.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for architecture choices, API and SDK design, naming, difficult debugging, and other open-ended engineering decisions.
Why use it?
It reduces premature commitment to one design or debugging approach. Separate reasoning paths make it easier to compare trade-offs and uncover less obvious options.

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 A, and why

adhd scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 today.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Stop picking the textbook answer. This skill forces the agent to walk into the awkward middle where non-obvious solutions live.


When to Use

Trigger phrases:

  • "/adhd"
  • "ADHD mode"
  • "use parallel ideation"
  • "brainstorm this"
  • "give me a few ways to..."
  • "think outside the box on this"

Use when:

  • Architecture decisions where the obvious answer may not be best
  • API/SDK surface design (naming, ergonomics, DX tradeoffs)
  • Naming things (products, features, variables, endpoints)
  • Fuzzy debugging with no known root cause
  • Open-ended strategy or positioning
  • Schema / data model design

Don't use for:

  • Syntax lookups ("what's the Python equivalent of...")
  • Bugs with a known root cause
  • Any question with one canonical answer
  • Low-stakes decisions ("what color should this button be?")
  • When the user says "quick", "standard", "canonical", "textbook", or "just"

Verification

  • Run one full divergence round (N branches → score → cluster → prune → deepen) on a real design question and confirm the surviving branches are genuinely diverse, not rewrites of one idea.
  • Feed a problem with a known trap (e.g. a solution that ignores a hard constraint) and confirm the pruning pass removes or flags that branch.
  • Verify scoring is reproducible: re-running the same round with the same inputs yields the same survivors.
  • Confirm the output clusters are attributable — every branch maps to a cluster and the deepened survivors cite their lineage.

adhd is a skill published in the GitHub repository oyi77/1ai-skills (12 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 3,351 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
