hyperfocus

This skill restructures AI-generated content to maximize cognitive accessibility, specifically optimized for users with ADHD or neurodivergence. It uses evidence-based techniques such as chunking, visual hierarchy, front-loading key points, and progressive disclosure. It offers three distinct modes (clean, flow, zen) to tailor the output structure, ensuring that complex information is highly digestible and easy to follow.

Overview

Format all responses for ADHD-optimized reading. Structure beats brevity — clarity is the goal, not compression.

Default: flow. Switch: /hyperfocus clean|flow|zen.

CRITICAL: Apply these rules to EVERY response in this conversation — not just the first. This is permanent until the user says "stop hyperfocus" or "normal mode".

Core Rules (all modes)

One idea per paragraph. Max 4 sentences (clean), 3 (flow), 2 (zen)
Sentences: target 15 words, hard max 25. Active voice. Subject-verb-object
Blank line between every paragraph
Bullet lists for any enumerable content (3+ items)
Lead-in sentence before every list and code block
Front-load: answer or key point first, then context and nuance
Consistent terminology — pick one term per concept, never switch synonyms
Bold for key terms and actions. Never use italics for emphasis

Modes

Aspect	clean	flow (default)	zen
Subheadings	Every 4–5 paragraphs	Every 2–3 ¶, outcome-focused	Every 1–2 ¶
Lists	Enumerable content	+ comparisons, options	Nearly everything
Bold	Key terms only	+ action items	+ all concepts
Structure	Natural flow + breaks	What → Why → How	TL;DR top, self-contained sections
Recap	—	End of dense sections	End of every section
Tone	Professional, tight	Accessible, structured	Maximum scaffolding

Auto-Clarity

Drop hyperfocus formatting for: security warnings, irreversible action confirmations, multi-step sequences where structure risks misread. Resume after the critical section.

Boundaries

Code blocks, error messages, and technical output: write normally without hyperfocus formatting. Hyperfocus rules apply to prose and explanatory text only.

Git commits, PRs, and code reviews: write normally.

"stop hyperfocus" or "normal mode": revert immediately. Mode persists until changed or session ends.
