already crossed about 16,000 stars, which is pretty 18400 21440 insane for something that's essentially just a single skill file. 21440 26860 Now, before you ask, no, you don't need an actual ADHD diagnosis to use this. 26860 30800 The whole point of this plugin is that it fixes something that annoys literally everyone 30800 35420 who uses AI coding assistants, and that's the fact that these models just talk way too 35420 36420 much. 36420 40300 You ask a simple question, and the AI gives you three paragraphs of preamble, a lecture 40300 45440 on best practices, five tangential suggestions you didn't ask for, and then ends with, hope 45440 48360 this helps, let me know if you have any questions. 48360 52860 And somewhere in the middle of all that buried, like, treasure is the actual answer you wanted. 52860 57880 So this plugin basically reformats all of Claude's responses to be action-first, numbered, and 57880 59300 completely free of filler. 59300 62120 And to be honest, after using it for a bit, it's kinda hard to go back. 62120 66060 So let's get right into it and see what it actually does, how to install it, and whether 66060 67560 it's worth adding to your setup. 67560 70040 Now let's talk about what this thing actually is. 70040 74820 I Have ADHD is a skill for coding agents made by a developer called iGree. 74820 76860 It works with Claude Code as a plugin. 76860 79860 And there are also instructions for using it with other agents like Codex. 79860 84360 The whole thing is open source, under the MIT license, and it's completely free, which 84360 85620 is always great to see. 85620 88180 The interesting part is the thinking behind it. 88180 93460 The skill is loosely inspired by an actual book called the ADHD Toolkit, but adapted for 93460 95740 how LLMs communicate. 95740 99320 The idea is that people with ADHD have limited working memory. 99320 103660 They struggle with the gap between understanding something and actually doing it, and they need 103660 106000 visible progress to stay motivated. 106000 109920 And if you think about it, that's basically everyone when they're tired, distracted, or 109920 111760 just trying to ship something at 2am. 111760 117580 So, the skill takes those principles and turns them into 10 rules that the AI has to follow 117580 118760 in every response. 118760 124100 Now, let me quickly run you through the main rules, because this is where it gets good. 124100 127420 First, the AI has to lead with the action. 127420 132200 So instead of explaining why authentication is complex, it just tells you to run the npm install 132200 136440 command and edit the specific file at the specific line. 136440 138120 No preamble at all. 138120 143620 Second, every multi-step task gets numbered, and each step is one single bounded action. 143620 146120 No, and then chains hidden inside a step. 146120 152480 Third, every response has to end with one concrete next action that you can do in under two minutes. 152480 157260 This is actually really clever, because the hardest part of any task is just starting it. 157260 161980 Then there's tangent suppression, which means the AI finishes the main issue first, and only 161980 164960 offers secondary stuff as separate follow-ups. 164960 168220 There's also a rule where it restates the state on each turn. 168220 171620 So it'll say something like, step 3 of 5 done. 171620 173100 Schema updated. 173100 175300 Next is backfilling the column. 175300 178660 So you never lose track of where you are in a long session, which is honestly useful 178660 179660 for everyone. 179660 185080 It also has to give specific time estimates, like about 15 minutes, if tests cover this, 185080 188840 and after noon, if not, instead of vague stuff. 188840 192100 Errors get reported matter-of-factly with the cause and the fix. 192100 194840 No uh-oh, or nervous hedging. 194840 197300 Lists are capped at 5 items maximum. 197300 201480 And finally, no preamble, no recaps, and no closing pleasantries. 201480 204920 So no more, let me know if this helps at the end of every single message. 204920 208020 There are also some sensible overrides built in. 208020 212280 If you ask for an explanation, it'll still explain properly with structure. 212280 215140 If something is destructive, it'll confirm first. 215140 219560 And if your request is genuinely ambiguous, it'll ask one clarifying question, instead 219560 220760 of guessing. 220760 225180 So it's not just blindly terse, which I appreciate. 225180 228120 Now let's install it and see it in action. 228120 229780 The installation is pretty simple. 229780 232660 Run Claude plug-in install iHave8HD at iHave8HD. 232660 235160 That's it. 235160 236160 You're good to go. 236160 241860 Once it's installed, you just open Claude code and type slash iHave8HD to activate it. 241860 246720 And if you ever want to turn it off, you can just run Claude plug-in disable iHave8HD. 246720 249760 So I have Claude code open here with the skill activated. 249760 251020 Let me show you the difference. 251020 254440 First, let me ask it something without the skill, just as a baseline. 254440 257680 I'll ask how to add JW2 authentication to my Express app. 257680 262440 And you can see, it starts with a whole explanation of what JWT is, why authentication matters, the 262440 264280 different approaches you could take. 264280 267820 It's a wall of text, the actual commands are in there somewhere, but you have to dig for 267820 268820 them. 268820 270820 Now let's try the same thing with the skill active. 270820 271820 Let's send it and see. 271820 273020 Okay. 273020 274220 And look at this. 274220 277100 The very first line is the install command. 277100 281900 Then it gives me four numbered steps, each one a single action with the exact file and 281900 283460 line number to edit. 283460 288460 At the end, it says the next action is to run the dev server and test the login route, 288460 291340 and it estimates the whole thing at about 20 minutes. 291340 293020 That's the entire response. 293020 296440 No fluff, no lecture, no great question. 296440 298500 This is pretty amazing to be honest. 298500 301300 Now one more thing that's worth mentioning is customization. 301300 306340 Since the whole skill is just a single skill.md file, you can fork the repo, edit the file 306340 311760 and change whatever you want. 311760 315620 Maybe you want lists capped at three items instead of five, or you want it even more aggressive 315620 316760 with the brevity. 316760 322760 You just edit the file, rerun the slash command, and your personalized version is active. 322760 327180 The repo has also been translated into a bunch of languages like Chinese, Japanese, Korean, 327180 328240 and Portuguese. 328240 329180 So that's cool too. 329180 331040 So what's my verdict on this? 331040 334040 I think this is one of those ideas that's obvious in hindsight. 334040 338780 The models have gotten really good at coding, but the way they communicate is still tuned 338780 341200 for politeness rather than usefulness. 341200 343800 And this skill fixes that with basically zero cost. 343800 344800 It's free. 344800 345800 It's open source. 345800 348780 It's a two minute install, and you can turn it off anytime. 348780 353640 If you ask me, the progress restating and the end with one small next action rules are the 353640 355360 real killers here. 355360 358820 Those alone make long agentic sessions way easier to follow. 358820 362400 The token savings from cutting all the filler are a nice bonus as well, especially if you're 362400 363400 on a limited plan. 363400 365380 There are some downsides of course. 365380 370340 If you're a beginner, who actually wants the explanations, this might feel too terse, 370340 373180 and you'd need to explicitly ask it to explain things. 373180 377440 But for anyone who already knows what they're doing, and just wants answers, this is a really 377440 379200 good option, for sure. 379200 381200 Overall, it's pretty cool. 381200 383400 Anyway, let me know your thoughts in the comments.
