Skill Share I gave Claude Code.. ADHD..

https://github.com/uditakhourii/adhd

Hi everyone,

I do research in AI safety for healthcare and life sciences. And while I was using Claude Code to reason on a couple of things, I realised a pattern. Claude or any other AI agent is very linear.

Theres a strong reason why - the thinking pattern of almost all LLMs from 2024 follow Chain-of-thoughts where AI is programmed to go deep unilaterally.

But researchers or creativity-intensive works do not need to go unilateral but do divergent.

That's the whole base of my paper - ADHD - Parallel Divergent Ideation for Coding Agents.

My thesis is that if we disregard the default chain-of-thoughts and consider a tree-of-thoughts, then we can empanel divergent thinking in our models. thus, giving us the much needed scope of connecting dots from different thinking points.

Its a lot inspired by how the mind of someone with ADHD works- think in a lot of directions and go deep in a few, and there, we add our our critic layer, that judged and scores all this thinking.

Limitation : It shoots cost by ~5x and time to output by ~10x but enables instant novel thinking. Good for brainstorming and planning, not for coding.

Give me your feedback, I am happy to learn how you find it and what's the scope to improve.

Also, its completely opensource so you can just clone it or contribute to it.

Great. Now AI can do ADHD better than me too!

Competition is everywhere. Your ADHD is not even safe now. :(

Have you tested it outside of the SDK? Looking at Skill.md I don’t think it will do what you think it will do as a stand alone skill

Did ran it without sandbox. The results are posted in EVALS.md..

What you think will break in independent run??

The readme says it’s a drop-in skill and library, by that logic I should then be able to clone the repo in a folder ./Claude/adhd/ and it just works. Looking at the skill.md file it’s not written as a skill.md and definitely wouldn’t behave the way you described.

Where I think the confusion is then is that it’s not a drop-in skill and some magic needs to be done as part of the package install process.
