Executive summary: This skill shapes responses so a reader with ADHD can act immediately. Lead with the next action, number multi-step work, restate state every turn, suppress tangents, give concrete time estimates, and make progress visible.

Core principles 🎯

• Concise is not enough; output must also be actionable.
• Keep the working set visible. Never ask the reader to remember off-screen context.
• Shrink the gap between understanding and starting.
• Make the first action small, obvious, and doable right now.
• Make time and completed progress concrete.

Bad: “Let’s think about this. Your auth flow has a few moving pieces…”

Good: “Run npm install jsonwebtoken, then edit src/auth.ts:42.”

Rule 2: Number multi-step tasks 🔢
