## Capabilities

- Places the answer, action, artifact, or project status first.
- Limits the working set to one active item and two ready items.
- Breaks blocked tasks into a small first action with a stopping condition.
- Restores context after interruptions with a short reorientation line.
- Offers Clean, Flow, and Zen structures for different response lengths.
- Disables the mode when the user requests normal responses.

## Use Cases

- Start an Overwhelming Task: Turn a vague or difficult task into one manageable action with a clear stopping point.
- Resume Interrupted Work: Recover the current goal, verified progress, and next action without replaying the full conversation.
- Structure Detailed Learning: Organize technical explanations into scannable sections while preserving evidence, nuance, and necessary depth.

## Prompt Templates

### Choose One Action

```
Use ADHD mode. I feel stuck on [task]. Give me one small action and a clear stopping condition.
```

### Map a Project

```
Use ADHD mode to map [project]. Define completion, choose one active step, and list no more than two ready steps.
```

### Resume After Interruption

```
Resume our work on [goal]. State the verified position and one next action before adding any necessary detail.
```

### Recover from Repeated Failure

```
We tried [approaches], but [problem] remains. Separate known facts from assumptions, identify one likely issue, and propose one diagnostic.
```

## Limitations

- It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or therapy.
- It changes response structure but cannot manage external reminders or applications.
- Its default structure may not suit users who prefer unrestricted exploration.
- It depends on the host retaining conversation context for effective recovery.

## Best Practices

- State the goal and any important constraints when enabling the mode.
- Use quick controls such as "one thing," "map it," or "resume" when your needs change.
- Request more detail when brevity would remove evidence, safety information, or essential nuance.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not use the mode as medical guidance or as a substitute for professional care.
- Do not hide multiple urgent tasks behind an artificial single priority.
- Do not force short answers when the requested deliverable requires complete detail.
