SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Standard AI responses bury the next action under preamble, recaps, and tangents, which makes them hard to act on for readers with ADHD. This Skill restructures every response so the reader always knows what to do next, where they are in a multi-step task, and what just got done. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Action-first formatting: Leads every reply with a concrete command, path, or snippet instead of context or plans. - State externalization: Restates progress (e.g., "Step 3 of 5 done") every turn so nothing relies on working memory. - Structured multi-step work: Numbers tasks into bounded steps, caps lists at five items, and gives concrete time estimates. - Use Case: During a debugging session, instead of a long explanation, you get the exact command to run first, a numbered fix sequence, and one clear next action when the turn ends. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to answer all your questions using ADHD-friendly formatting with action-first numbered steps.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make AI responses easier to read with ADHD?

Use response formatting that leads with the next concrete action, numbers multi-step tasks, and restates progress every turn. This Skill applies those rules automatically to every reply, including coding and casual conversation.

How to get ChatGPT or Claude to give shorter action-first answers?

Instruct the assistant to remove preamble, recaps, and closing pleasantries, and to put commands or file paths in the first line. This Skill encodes exactly those rules plus a pre-send check that deletes filler sentences.

Does this formatting work for long technical explanations?

Yes. When you ask for an explanation or walkthrough, the body runs as long as the topic needs, with headers for skimming. Only the preamble and closers are removed, not the depth.

When should ADHD-style brevity rules be overridden?

Override them before destructive actions like force pushes or schema migrations, during debug spirals where a diagnostic question helps more, and when the request is genuinely ambiguous. Safety and clarity take priority over brevity.

Why do vague time estimates fail for ADHD readers?

Vague estimates like "some work" register the same as "a few hours" for ADHD readers, so planning breaks down. Concrete ballparks such as "15 minutes if tests exist, an afternoon if not" make the cost of starting visible.
