Adhd Mode

adhd-mode

A Claude Code skill. Makes Claude explain things in short, chunked steps instead of dense paragraphs.

**Without it:**

The CI failure came from dependency cache drift: our cache key didn't include the lockfile hash, so the runner restored stale `node_modules`; local tests still passed because local installs were fresh, which made the breakage look non-deterministic.

**With it:**

**CI used stale dependencies.**

Our cache key missed the lockfile hash.

So CI restored old `node_modules`.

Local passed because local installs were fresh.

Fix: include the lockfile hash in the cache key.

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.
