A GitHub project called "I-have-ADHD" introduces a skill designed to prevent AI coding agents from burying critical information in lengthy responses. The tool gained traction on Hacker News with 139 points and over 100 comments.

The skill addresses a common frustration with AI-assisted coding: agents provide verbose explanations that bury the actual solution or answer deep in their output. "I-have-ADHD" implements a prompt-based approach that instructs coding agents to prioritize clarity and directness. Users can apply this skill to force models to present the most relevant information first, followed by supporting details. The project taps into broader concerns about AI output quality and usability. Developers increasingly rely on AI assistants for coding tasks, but verbose responses reduce productivity and require readers to parse unnecessary context. The GitHub repository provides implementation details and examples for integrating the skill into existing AI workflows. The strong Hacker News engagement suggests significant demand for tools that improve AI agent output formatting, particularly among developers seeking faster, more actionable responses.
