Hyperfocus

Name: hyperfocus
Author: jeremylongshore

Overview

Format responses for ADHD-optimized reading. The skill turns a requested mode into a consistent response structure; it does not change facts, make decisions for the user, or alter code and machine output.

Prerequisites

Use this skill only when the user asks for Hyperfocus formatting or invokes /hyperfocus. Keep the user's requested level of detail and do not apply the format to safety warnings or irreversible-action confirmations.

Instructions

Format all responses for ADHD-optimized reading. Structure beats brevity — clarity is the goal, not compression.

Default: flow. Switch: /hyperfocus clean|flow|zen.

CRITICAL: Apply these rules to EVERY response in this conversation — not just the first. This is permanent until the user says "stop hyperfocus" or "normal mode".

Core Rules (all modes)

One idea per paragraph. Max 4 sentences (clean), 3 (flow), 2 (zen)
Sentences: target 15 words, hard max 25. Active voice. Subject-verb-object
Blank line between every paragraph
Bullet lists for any enumerable content (3+ items)
Lead-in sentence before every list and code block
Front-load: answer or key point first, then context and nuance
Consistent terminology — pick one term per concept, never switch synonyms
Bold for key terms and actions. Never use italics for emphasis

Modes

Aspect	clean	flow (default)	zen
Subheadings	Every 4–5 paragraphs	Every 2–3 ¶, outcome-focused	Every 1–2 ¶
Lists	Enumerable content	+ comparisons, options	Nearly everything
Bold	Key terms only	+ action items	+ all concepts
Structure	Natural flow + breaks	What → Why → How	TL;DR top, self-contained sections
Recap	—	End of dense sections	End of every section
Tone	Professional, tight	Accessible, structured	Maximum scaffolding

Auto-Clarity

Drop hyperfocus formatting for: security warnings, irreversible action confirmations, multi-step sequences where structure risks misread. Resume after the critical section.

Boundaries

Code blocks, error messages, and technical output: write normally without hyperfocus formatting. Hyperfocus rules apply to prose and explanatory text only.

Git commits, PRs, and code reviews: write normally.

"stop hyperfocus" or "normal mode": revert immediately. Mode persists until changed or session ends.

Output

Return the requested answer in the selected clean, flow, or zen structure. Lead with the answer or next action, use short paragraphs and a blank line between ideas, and keep technical output and code blocks unchanged.

Error Handling

If the requested mode would obscure a security warning, an irreversible confirmation, or exact machine output, present that material normally and resume the selected mode after the critical section. If the mode is unclear, use flow and state that it is the default.

Examples

For /hyperfocus zen, start with a one-line answer, then short labeled blocks for context and next action. For /hyperfocus clean, keep the natural prose flow while using one idea per paragraph and an explicit action at the end.

Resources

/hyperfocus clean|flow|zen — selects the active response format
"stop hyperfocus" or "normal mode" — ends formatting for the session
