While I’ve used every major AI from Gemini to ChatGPT , I’ve found that Claude continues to be my favorite, even if it’s a poorer value due to slightly more aggressive caps and higher starting prices for the subscription tiers.

What makes Claude stand out to me is that its session memory and recall tend to be significantly better than those of its rivals, making it arguably better for longer projects. I also find that its responses feel the most “human” and my back-and-forth feels more like a true collaboration effort than just a “yes man” tool. Unfortunately, being too human can also mean it rabbles, preaches, and often adds a lot of preamble that I didn’t ask for.

Recently, I heard about the community-made “I have ADHD” skill that has gone viral via online communities like Reddit. I’ve now been actively using it for about two weeks. This simple skill works with both Claude Code and Claude Chat, though the exact steps involved will vary.

As for what it does? Simply put, it’s designed to deliver answers in a much more straightforward way by cutting fluff and putting important details up front, as well as a few other adjustments that are easier to understand for a neurodivergent brain or really anyone who prefers to cut to the chase without all the formality of a conventional human conversation.

Setting up the “I have ADHD ” skill is actually super easy to do. The first thing you need to do is head over to the project’s official GitHub and download the skill.md file. From there, installing depends on what route you are taking.

If you simply want to use this for basic chatbot use, you’ll want to load up Claude Chat. Next, select Customize from the left panel, which opens a new page showing any existing skills you’ve installed.

To add this new one, simply click on the Add button (as shown in the image above). It’ll open a pop-up where you can click or drag the file. Follow the prompts, and you’re now good to go. To actually use the skill, you will need to type /i-have-adhd before asking your question, but you’ll only need to do this once per session as the skill will remain active for the entire conversation.
