mjsarfattion I-have-ADHD: A skill to stop coding agents from burying the answer

Because it’s wrong, and you are right. It should be in your global AND per-project md’s… Perhaps in a custom output style too.

mjsarfattion I-have-ADHD: A skill to stop coding agents from burying the answer

Weak is even giving it too much credit imho, a yapping skill telling Claude to not yap can’t but fail.

I placed those instructions in setting > personal instructions, in my global CLAUDE.md, and in each project’s CLAUDE.md. I also use the concise output style in CC. If I choose a high thinking model it will start deviating in long sessions, then I just remind it in my next message:

“Remember ASD-STE100 style.

[rest of my message]”

BLUF sticks a lot easier than STE to be honest… but Claude knows what STE is, and using the “ASD-STE100 style” locution avoids the compliance issue (it’s true that strict ASD-STE100 compliance isn’t really possible, nor desired)

You don’t need a skill. Just tell it to BLUF (bottom line up front) and ASD-STE100.

And stop using Opus 9 Pro Max XHigh 10.0 for everything. If you choose a hyper-thinking model for asking the weather you can’t but expect yapping.
