i-have-adhd: A Skill to Keep Coding Agents from Burying the Answer

Original title:I-have-ADHD: A skill to stop coding agents from burying the answer

Open Source74

Coding assistants frequently bury the actual fix beneath layers of conversational preamble, polite explanations, and post-hoc analysis. The open-source repository i-have-adhd introduces a prompt-level skill designed to reverse that ordering. By imposing strict output constraints, it forces coding agents to surface code diffs and actionable answers immediately, stripping out conversational padding and treating terminal output as a precision tool rather than a polite chat.

Why it's worth reading

LLM verbosity has become a persistent friction point in daily development; this lightweight skill directly tackles the signal-to-noise ratio in coding agent interfaces.
