The i-have-adhd Claude Code Skill: Answer-First Output Rules

Summary

i-have-adhd is a community Claude Code skill — 10 output-formatting rules in a markdown file — that makes responses scannable: lead with the next action, number steps, cap lists at five ranked items, and drop preamble/recap/closers. It installs as a plugin and can be toggled per session (/i-have-adhd, stop adhd mode) or set as a default from ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md.

Key Details

  • The ten rules: next-action-first, one-action steps, concrete <2-min closing action, suppress tangents, restate progress, specific minute estimates, visible wins, matter-of-fact errors, cap lists at 5, no preamble/recap/closers.
  • Pure prompt/markdown — no dependencies, three-command plugin install.
  • Overlaps the toolkit's existing verdict-first tone guidance; value is in codifying an output contract rather than the ADHD framing.
