ADHD — a skill for coding agents. Tree-of-thought with pruning, built on the Claude & Codex Agent SDK. Fans out parallel divergent thoughts under different cognitive frames, scores, prunes traps, deepens the survivors. The no-brainer skill for creative and interdisciplinary work.
Build with Backblaze B2
SDKs, agent skills, IDE extensions, and reference pipelines from Backblaze Labs. All open source.

Peaked at #28 in the weekly ranking the week of Aug 2, its best in the past year.
Use Cases & Benefits
- Implements a parallel divergent ideation skill for coding agents using isolated cognitive frames and a critic pass to score, cluster, prune, and deepen ideas.
- Prevents premature convergence in reasoning by spawning multiple isolated thought processes, enabling broader, more novel, and trap-aware ideation than linear or tree-of-thought methods.
- Use for designing complex software strategies like retry/timeout policies with diverse, non-obvious solution exploration and trap detection.
- Use for enhancing AI agent creativity and interdisciplinary brainstorming by generating and refining multiple distinct cognitive perspectives in parallel.
- Use for integrating into developer tools or agent frameworks to improve naming, API design, fuzzy debugging, and strategic decision-making workflows.

This is where the real-time thinking happens: frame design, eval problems, trap-hunting, and neurodivergence-inspired research on reasoning architectures. If you've got opinions on premature convergence, cognitive frames, or just want to argue about the next eval problem — come argue with us live.
👉 Join the ADHD community → as a contributor, maintainer, early adopter, or just a member. One short form. We coordinate frame contributions, eval problems, integrations, and adopter onboarding there.
An architectural fix for premature convergence in autoregressive reasoning.
Linear Chain-of-Thought anchors on whatever it says first. Tree-of-Thought widens the search but still walks a single shared context, so the anchoring persists across branches. ADHD treats this as an architectural problem, not a prompting one — it spawns N isolated reasoning processes under deliberately distorted cognitive frames, with zero shared context during divergence, then runs a separate critic pass to score, cluster, prune traps, and deepen the survivors.
Reach for it on design decisions, fuzzy debugging, naming, API surface design, strategy, and any prompt of the shape "give me a few ways to…".
