Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Original author: Erich Owens | License: MIT Converted to MoltBot format by Mike Court A planning system designed BY and FOR ADHD brains. This skill understands that traditional productivity advice fails for neurodivergent minds and provides strategies that work WITH your brain, not against it.
ADHD is not a character flaw or lack of willpower. It's a difference in how the brain handles dopamine, time perception, and attention regulation. This skill: Never uses shame or "just try harder" rhetoric Builds systems around ADHD realities, not neurotypical ideals Acknowledges that what works today might not work tomorrow Celebrates done > perfect Treats executive function as a battery that depletes
Traditional Planning: 1. Make detailed plan 2. Follow plan 3. Achieve goal ADHD Reality: 1. Make detailed plan (hyperfocus, feels great) 2. Plan feels constraining by day 2 3. Rebel against own plan 4. Feel guilty about abandoned plan 5. Avoid thinking about goal entirely This skill breaks the paradox by creating FLEXIBLE structures with BUILT-IN pivots.
What time horizon are we planning? โโโ RIGHT NOW (next 2 hours) โ Emergency brain dump + single next action โโโ TODAY โ Time-blocked structure with transition buffers โโโ THIS WEEK โ Theme days + priority winnowing โโโ THIS MONTH โ Goal setting with anti-overwhelm safeguards โโโ LONGER โ Break into month-sized chunks, don't over-plan Is the person in crisis mode? โโโ YES โ Skip planning, identify ONE smallest possible action โโโ NO โ Proceed with appropriate planning level Is the person hyperfocusing on planning itself? โโโ YES โ Interrupt! Planning โ doing. Set timer, start ONE task. โโโ NO โ Continue planning support
Take your first estimate. Now: "5 minutes" โ Actually 15-20 minutes "30 minutes" โ Actually 1-1.5 hours "A couple hours" โ Actually half a day "This weekend" โ Actually won't happen without body doubling The 3x Rule: Whatever you think it will take, multiply by 3. You're not bad at estimatingโyour brain processes time differently.
Analog clocks in every room (digital jumps; analog shows time PASSING) Time Timer or similar visual countdown timers Calendar blocking - if it's not on the calendar with a time, it doesn't exist "When, then" statements - "When I finish my coffee, then I start the report"
ADHD brains struggle with task transitions. BUILD IN BUFFERS: Neurotypical Schedule: 9:00 - Meeting 10:00 - Deep work 12:00 - Lunch ADHD-Friendly Schedule: 9:00 - Meeting 10:00 - [Transition buffer: bathroom, water, stare at wall] 10:15 - Deep work 11:45 - [Transition buffer: save work, prepare for context switch] 12:00 - Lunch
EVERYTHING IN MY HEAD RIGHT NOW: _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ NOW CIRCLE ONLY 1-3 THINGS THAT ACTUALLY MATTER TODAY.
Your daily plan is exactly 3 things: THE Thing - If you do nothing else, do this Would Be Nice - Important but not critical today If I'm On Fire - Only if crushing it That's it. Not 10 things. Not 5 things. THREE.

The 2-Minute Start: Don't commit to finishing. Commit to 2 minutes. "I'll just open the document" "I'll just write the first sentence" "I'll just look at the thing" Body Doubling: Work alongside someone (physically or virtually). The Focusmate app, Discord study groups, or just a friend on video call. Temptation Bundling: Pair unpleasant tasks with pleasant ones. Boring data entry + favorite podcast Exercise + audiobook Cleaning + dance music For comprehensive executive function strategies, see {baseDir}/references/executive-function-toolkit.md
ADHD working memory is limited. EXTERNALIZE EVERYTHING: Capture tools everywhere - Notes app, physical notepad, voice memos Written instructions even for simple things Checklists for repeated tasks (even ones you've done 100 times) Visual reminders in the physical space where you'll need them
ADHD brains make thousands of micro-decisions that drain the battery: Pre-decide: Same breakfast every day (or rotate 2-3 options) Outfit laid out night before Default schedule for types of tasks "If X, then Y" rules that don't require thinking
You have doom boxes. Admit it. Those piles of stuff you don't know what to do with. Weekly Doom Box Protocol (15 min max): Set timer for 15 minutes Pick up ONE item from the doom pile Decide: Trash / Donate / Home / Action needed If Action needed: write the action, put item in "action needed" zone Repeat until timer ends STOP. You did enough.

Detailed long-term planning - You'll abandon it and feel bad Guilt-based motivation - Creates avoidance, not action "I'll remember" - You won't. Write it down. Willpower over systems - Systems > willpower every time Comparing to neurotypical productivity - Different brain, different metrics "Catching up" marathons - You'll burn out. Slow and steady. Perfect planning before starting - Planning paralysis. Start messy.
ADHD has high variance. Plan for BOTH: Good Days (Hyperfocus Available): Tackle THE Thing first while energy is there Don't overcommit just because you're on fire Bank some wins for bad days Bad Days (Executive Function Depleted): Permission to do minimum viable Focus on maintenance (eat, hygiene, rest) Low-stakes tasks only No major decisions The key: Don't judge bad days. They're part of the pattern.
Focusmate - Body doubling with strangers Forest - Phone lockout with gamification Todoist/Things - Simple task managers (NOT complex systems) Goblin Tools - AI that breaks tasks into smaller steps
Time Timer - Visual countdown Whiteboard - Daily view in prominent location Physical inbox tray - One place for paper Fidget tools - Support focus for many ADHD brains
Background noise - Lo-fi beats, brown noise, coffee shop sounds Standing desk or movement option - Bodies need to move Minimal visual clutter - Less distraction Good lighting - Affects focus more than you think
End of workday ritual to actually STOP working: Write tomorrow's "THE Thing" (30 seconds) Check calendar for tomorrow surprises (30 seconds) Clear one small thing from inbox/desk (2 minutes) Say out loud: "Work is done for today." (Seriously. Say it.) Physical transition (close laptop, leave room, change clothes)

You are not broken. Your brain works differently. The goal isn't to become neurotypicalโit's to build a life that works WITH your brain. Progress over perfection. Compassion over criticism. Systems over willpower.
