An output-style skill that reshapes Claude's answers to lead with the next action, number steps, and drop all filler.

What it does
- Forces the first line to be an actionable item (command, file path, snippet) instead of context or preamble.
- Turns multi-step work into numbered lists, one bounded action per step.
- Restates state every turn ("Step 3 of 5 done: schema updated. Next: backfill") so you never have to hold context in your head.
- Demands specific time estimates ("~15 minutes if tests exist") instead of "some work."
- Bans preambles, recaps, and closing pleasantries; defers tangents to a single question at the end.
- Caps visible lists at 5 items per group while keeping the rest internally.
- Defines explicit override cases: explanation requests, destructive commands, debug spirals, genuine ambiguity, and agent-harness constraints.
Who it's for
- Anyone with ADHD or attention fatigue who loses the thread in long answers.
- People who want the conclusion and the next step first, prose later.
- Role-agnostic: coding, writing, planning, ops.
Examples
- Run
/i-have-adhd, then ask "fix the login bug" → you get "1. Opensrc/auth.ts2. Replace lines 42-58 3. Runnpm test -- auth.spec.ts". - Across a long migration, each reply opens with "Step 3 of 5 done... Next: ..." instead of "Ready for the next part?".
- Need depth? Say "walk me through it" to trigger the explain override, then "stop adhd mode" to return to default style.
