5 Claude Code Skills Every ADHD Developer Needs
Short summary
Author built five Claude Code skills targeting specific ADHD executive function gaps: task-initiation paralysis, discounting accomplishments, context-switch recovery, time blindness, and working-memory overload. Each skill externalizes the friction point so the brain doesn't have to re-improvise its own workarounds.
- •Five Claude Code skills map to named ADHD deficits: task initiation, discounting wins, context switching, time perception, working memory
- •Each skill externalizes friction (energy-based task sorting, evidence-based win tracking, session reconstruction, external time markers, knowledge mapping)
- •Framework is deterministic and repeatable—removes the need to re-improvise workarounds at 2pm or after context switches
