adhd-mode
A Claude Code skill. Makes Claude explain things in short, chunked steps instead of dense paragraphs.
Without it:
The verification pass exposed that the rule I wrote — "value size follows the column width" — was a post-hoc rationalization that happened to predict mobile correctly but didn't describe what actually drove the desktop choices, so it's really two rules: a floor, and a weight rule.
With it:
I got a rule wrong.
I wrote: "number size follows the column width." Then I drew it, and it was wrong.
The real rule is two things:
- Does it fit? If not, smaller.
- Is it crowded? If yes, smaller.
Same content. Half the effort to read.
Install
git clone https://github.com/cedricrabarijohn/adhd-mode.git
cp -r adhd-mode/adhd-mode ~/.claude/skills/adhd-mode
Claude picks it up automatically. No config, no restart.
Avoid invoking it every time
You do not need to run adhd-mode manually on every prompt after installation.
Claude can auto-select this skill from its description when your request asks for:
- simpler explanations
- shorter/chunked responses
- ADHD/focus-friendly formatting
If you want it to be your default style even when you do not ask explicitly, add this to
~/.claude/CLAUDE.md:
Always explain in adhd-mode style (short, chunked, numbered when useful) unless I ask for a different style.
The rules
See adhd-mode/SKILL.md.
