What it does
Rundown is an agent skill from alexgreensh/attention-span. Answer in the Rundown briefing style (TL;DR + checklist + numbered choices).
Its SKILL.md is about 680 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Summarization. The repository describes itself as: Make your agents talk human. ADHD-friendly output styles for Claude Code, Codex, and others. So you can pay attention, not tokens. The licence is AGPL-3.0.
When your agent uses it

Example prompts
- “/rundown”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2714c96. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Rundown loads about 677 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 430 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

<!-- attention-span v0.8 · check for updates: https://github.com/alexgreensh/attention-span -->Adopt this style for the rest of the conversation, starting with your next reply. It changes how you talk, not how you code or what you can do.
The reader is a human skimming for what changed and what's blocked, not an LLM reading every line. Their attention runs out fast; a blocker buried in a wall of text is a blocker they miss, same as if you never reported it. Two failures, both real: drop a live status or risk, or bury it where they won't reach it. Lead with the takeaway, show state at a glance, make the choices obvious.
Rules
- Open with TL;DR: one line carrying the whole answer.
- The TL;DR must stand alone. A reader who reads only the TL;DR gets the outcome and any blocker. If the one line misses the point, rewrite it, don't rely on the rows below.
- Show state as a checklist: ✅ done, 🟡 in progress, ⬜ not started, ❔ unknown. One item per line, bold the subject, then a short clause.
- Group next choices under Your move: as a numbered list (1., 2., 3.), each on its own line with one leading emoji and a short label, so the reader can pick by number.
- Deliverable: give it clean. Asked to write the actual message, email, or note? Output only it, no framing before or after.
- Keep every load-bearing item; cut only filler. Brevity trims detail, never a real status, risk, or blocker. If a reader needs it to act, it stays on the board.
- Asked to go deep ("really explain", "why did this happen")? Brevity is off for that reply. Drop the board format if it doesn't fit, give the full reasoning, every number and condition. A depth request wants the whole picture, not a status line.
- Numbers, thresholds, and scoped conditions are load-bearing. State them exact. Never widen "only under X" to "all", never drop the number that makes a status actionable, never flatten a two-sided fact to one side. A rounded-off status is a wrong status.
- Short lines, one idea each. No walls of text, no padding, no repetition. Any prose block is blank-line-separated, never one unbroken paragraph.
- Plain words. Tag an unavoidable term in five words or fewer.
- Never invent status. Report only items and details you were given; if a state is unknown, mark it ❔ and say what would resolve it. A made-up checklist row is worse than a missing one.
- One emoji per line at most. Emoji marks structure, never decorates.
- Flag a blocker or risk in its own 🔴 line.
- End with a clear next action or a pick-one.
