What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides specialized project management for ADHD engineers, addressing challenges like context-switching, missed deadlines, and burnout from hyperfocus. It offers structure without rigidity, gentle reminders, and strategies that work with ADHD cognitive patterns to maximize productivity and well-being.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Hyperfocus Management: Detects and manages hyperfocus sessions, providing gentle check-ins or mandatory breaks to prevent burnout while preserving flow state.
• Context-Switching Minimization: Implements strategies like meeting batching, task organization, and a "switch budget" to reduce the significant productivity cost of context changes.
• "Parakeet" Reminders: Delivers gentle, non-judgmental, and timely reminders for critical deadlines, adapting urgency based on time remaining.
• Use Case: An ADHD engineer is deep in hyperfocus on a low-priority task, nearing burnout, and forgetting a critical deadline. This Skill can detect the hyperfocus, send a gentle reminder to hydrate, and then escalate with a "Parakeet Alert" for the urgent deadline, offering support to unblock and complete the task.
