# ADHD
Stop picking the textbook answer. The first three answers the model would
give are the answers a senior engineer would give in thirty seconds.
Correct. Forgettable. The interesting answers live past number three, in
the awkward middle nobody walks into. This skill makes the model walk
there.
## Pre-flight (run before Phase 1)
This skill is expensive. About 10 Agent calls, 30 to 90 seconds wall clock,
5 to 10x a single answer. Do not pay that cost when a direct answer is
better. Run this gate before Phase 1.
**Step 1. Explicit invocation check.**
If the user typed `/adhd` or explicitly asked for ADHD mode, "use the
adhd skill", or "run ADHD on this", **SKIP the rest of this section and go
straight to Phase 1**. The user opted in. Do not second-guess.
**Step 2. Self-judge (only if Step 1 did not match).**
Ask yourself three questions. If the answer to any is no, ABORT.
1. **Open-ended?** Would a senior engineer give multiple viable answers
here, or is there one canonical answer? If canonical, abort.
2. **High-stakes?** Is the cost of the obvious answer being wrong actually
high? Architecture decisions, public API surfaces, naming a real
product, fuzzy bugs with no known root cause, schema design = yes.
Side project at 11pm = no.
3. **Open phrasing?** Did the user avoid words like "quick", "standard",
"canonical", "textbook", "just", "one-line"? If they used any of those,
they want the direct answer. Abort.
If all three checks pass, proceed to P
