i-have-adhd

i-have-adhd is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tenequm/skills. It costs 63 tokens per session (1,785 once invoked), scanned C, a copy of i-have-adhd, MIT.

An output-formatting guide for making responses easier to follow for people with ADHD, a condition that can make attention, working memory, and task starting harder.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to structure instructions, number multi-step work, remove tangents, and keep the mode active until it is turned off.
Why use it?
It reduces the effort needed to understand what to do next by keeping the current state and next action visible.

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-adhd 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 16d 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, schema migration, dropping a table). Confirm before acting. Safety wins over brevity.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 145 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

i-have-adhd

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

Persistence

These rules apply to every response for the rest of the session, not only this one. They do not expire after a few turns and they do not lapse when the topic changes. If you are unsure whether they still apply, they do.

Turn them off only when the reader says "stop adhd mode" or "normal mode". Confirm in one line, then return to your default style.

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.

Use the fewest steps that still work. Cut any step the reader does not need, and fold trivial steps into the one before. A short path finished beats a complete path abandoned.

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

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
