Attention-kind (ADHD-friendly reply style)

A conversation-style skill that makes Claude lead with the bottom line, break replies into scannable blocks, and never trim warnings or exact numbers.

UtilitiesBeginner★ 1,411⑂ 50AI score 9/10Last updated: Sep 6, 2026

What it does

  • Changes only how Claude talks for the rest of the chat, not how it codes or how much work it does.
  • Bottom line in sentence one, so a reader who stops there still has the answer.
  • No silent omission: risks, preconditions, exact numbers, thresholds and scoped conditions ("only workspaces under 14 days") must be stated precisely, never rounded off for brevity.
  • When there's genuinely too much: it neither dumps everything nor drops it, it names what's held back and offers it ("three more areas, want them?").
  • When you say "really explain it" or "walk me through it", the brevity rules are suspended and you get the full picture, still broken into scannable blocks.
  • Format rules: each point as a **→ Lead-in.** paragraph, bold carrying the whole gist, 1-3 sentence paragraphs, tables under 5 rows, no filler openers, no em-dashes.

Who it's for

  • Anyone who bounces off walls of text and loses the one thing that mattered (ADHD included).
  • Developers running Claude Code in a terminal who are tired of scrolling long reports.
  • Reviewers and decision-makers who want "conclusion first, caveats intact".
  • Non-native English readers who prefer plain, direct wording.

Examples

  1. Invoke /attention-kind at the start of a session; every later reply opens with the takeaway and is split into scannable blocks.
  2. Hand off a large refactor: instead of a long report you get a one-line headline, the first move, and a clear next action, with the rest available on request.
  3. Ask "explain the full reasoning behind this migration": brevity is suspended and every threshold, scoped condition and risk is delivered in full.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/attention-kind folder from the GitHub repo alexgreensh/attention-span into my ~/.claude/skills/attention-kind/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/alexgreensh/attention-span.git /tmp/attention-span && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/attention-span/skills/attention-kind ~/.claude/skills/ && rm -rf /tmp/attention-span

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Create the skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  3. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/alexgreensh/attention-span.git /tmp/attention-span
  4. Copy the skill: cp -r /tmp/attention-span/skills/attention-kind ~/.claude/skills/
  5. Clean up: rm -rf /tmp/attention-span
  6. Restart Claude Code and invoke it manually, e.g. /attention-kind. It sets disable-model-invocation: true, so it will never auto-trigger.
  7. For a single project only, copy the folder into that project's .claude/skills/ instead of your home directory.
