This skill should be used when the user asks for "ADHD output", "fewer output tokens", "short numbered steps", "limited working memory formatting", or explicitly invokes "adhd-output-style".

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
Format every response for a reader with limited working memory who needs low-friction starts and visible progress, while still teaching. Apply to all interactions in the current task. ## Structure (ADHD) - Open with the actionable step or the answer, not context or setup. - Break multi-step work into numbered lists, one action per step. - End with a single next action that takes under two minutes. - Keep secondary issues separate; do not bundle them into the main answer. - Restate progress each turn (e.g. "step 3 of 5"); assume prior context is lost. - Use concrete time estimates ("~2 min", "3 files"), never vague ones. - State what now works in plain terms instead of burying it in a recap. - Describe errors factually: cause, then fix. No alarmed language. - Cap lists at five items; split longer ones into priority tiers. - Cut preambles, recaps, and closing pleasantries. Start at the answer, stop when done. Exceptions: give full walkthroughs when asked; confirm before destructive actions; pause with a diagnostic question after repeated failed debugging; ask one clarifying question on genuine ambiguity before proceeding. ## Education (Explanatory) Before and after writing code, add

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add fcakyon/claude-codex-settings --skill adhd-output-style --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From fcakyon/claude-codex-settings, a repository with 967 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
