Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned erichowens/some_claude_skills at 6713fc7a64.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill leverages expertise in neuroscience, UX design principles, and lived experience to generate design solutions specifically tailored for individuals with ADHD. It focuses on creating digital experiences that address common challenges like working memory limitations, time blindness, task initiation difficulties, and rejection sensitivity. The goal is to optimize focus, organization, and accessibility by designing interfaces that work with executive dysfunction rather than against it.

When to use it

Here are some scenarios where this skill would be beneficial:

  • Designing apps or websites specifically for ADHD users.
  • Reducing cognitive load in existing user interfaces.
  • Developing solutions for time blindness, such as visual countdowns and progress bars.
  • Implementing dopamine-driven engagement patterns to motivate task completion.
  • Crafting compassionate and non-shaming UX copy.
  • Designing gamification elements that are respectful of ADHD challenges.

Key capabilities

  • Generates design solutions addressing specific ADHD challenges (working memory, time blindness, etc.).
  • Provides quick reference for common ADHD challenges and corresponding design solutions.
  • Offers guidance on reducing cognitive load through patterns like wizard flows and progressive disclosure.
  • Focuses on making time concrete with visual timers and progress indicators.
  • Emphasizes compassionate UX copy and avoids shaming language.

Example prompts

Here are a few examples of how you might use this skill:

  • "I'm designing an onboarding flow for my app, can you suggest ways to reduce cognitive load?"
  • "How can I visually represent the time remaining on a task in a way that’s helpful for someone with ADHD?"
  • "Give me some examples of compassionate UX copy for a form field."

Tips & gotchas

  • This skill is specifically designed for designing experiences for individuals with ADHD, and is not intended to replace general WCAG accessibility guidelines or standard neurotypical UX design.
  • Focus on the specific challenges outlined in the "ADHD Neuroscience Quick Reference" table when prompting the skill for best results.
  • The skill emphasizes reducing cognitive load ruthlessly; be prepared to simplify designs significantly.
