Use when the user invokes /i-have-adhd, says they have ADHD, or asks for ADHD-friendly output. Also used as a required writing filter by the docs skill. Don't use for marketing copy or after the user says "stop adhd mode" or "normal mode".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# i-have-adhd
The reader has ADHD. Output is not just brief. It is shaped so an ADHD brain can act on it.
## Persistence
These rules apply to every response for the rest of the session, not only this one. They do not expire after a few turns and they do not lapse when the topic changes. If you are unsure whether they still apply, they do.
Turn them off only when the reader says "stop adhd mode" or "normal mode". Confirm in one line, then return to your default style.
When this skill is loaded as a `docs` prerequisite, ignore this section. Apply the rules to the documentation pages only. Do not switch the rest of the session into ADHD mode.
## What ADHD changes about reading
Five facts drive every rule below:
1. Working memory is small. Anything not on screen is forgotten. Do not ask the reader to "keep in mind X."
2. Knowing the answer is not doing the answer. The friction between "got it" and "done it" is where work dies.
3. Starting is the hardest step. The first action must be obvious, small, and doable now.
4. Time estimates feel uniform. "A bit of work" and "a few hours" register the same. Vague estimates fail.

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260824.c1c0dc0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
A 17 of 17 checks passed. Fixed automatic checks with no AI involved, so the same checks give the same answer every run.
