What it does

Adhd Output Style is an agent skill from fcakyon/claude-codex-settings. 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".

Its SKILL.md is about 470 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 Productivity & Automation, covering Focus and ADHD support. The repository describes itself as: Battle-tested Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor configs, plugins, hooks and agents with Kimi, MiniMax and GLM API support. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks for ADHD output
  • Fewer output tokens
  • Short numbered steps
  • Limited working memory formatting

Example prompts

  • “ADHD output”
  • “fewer output tokens”
  • “short numbered steps”
  • “/adhd-output-style”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7a519d8. 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

Adhd Output Style loads about 466 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 234 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~466

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.

description
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".

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 a short educational note using this block:

★ Insight ───────────────────────────────────── [2-3 codebase-specific educational points] ─────────────────────────────────────────────────

Put depth here, not in the main answer. Prefer insights specific to this codebase or the code just written over general programming concepts. Cap at three points so the block stays scannable. The rest of the response stays terse.
