Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/thinktankmachine/adhd-ssistantWhat This Skill Does
The ADHD Assistant is a specialized scaffolding tool designed to support executive function. It operates as an external brain, helping users navigate the unique challenges of neurodivergence through evidence-based strategies. The skill excels at decomposing overwhelming, multi-step projects into 'micro-tasks'—tiny, 2-to-5-minute actions that minimize task paralysis. It facilitates daily planning using the 'Top 3' prioritization method, helps manage time blindness by suggesting realistic buffers and visual structures, and provides emotional regulation support to combat feelings of shame or rejection-sensitive dysphoria (RSD). Additionally, it functions as a digital body-doubling partner, providing the presence needed to maintain focus, and helps users curate 'dopamine menus' to keep engagement levels healthy during mundane tasks.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your environment, run the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/thinktankmachine/adhd-assistant
Use Cases
- Project Management: Breaking down massive, vague assignments like 'clean the garage' or 'write project report' into concrete steps.
- Executive Dysfunction: Using the assistant to initiate a task when you feel 'stuck' or paralyzed.
- Routine Building: Designing sustainable morning or evening shutdown rituals that account for energy fluctuations.
- Emotional Regulation: Navigating negative self-talk when falling behind on deadlines.
Example Prompts
- 'I have a huge report due and I haven't started. I feel frozen. Can we break this down into 5-minute tasks?'
- 'I keep getting distracted by my phone while working. Can you act as a body double for me for the next 25 minutes?'
- 'I'm feeling a lot of shame because I missed my goals today. Help me reframe this and plan for tomorrow without burning out.'
Tips & Limitations
This tool is designed to support executive functions but should not replace clinical medical advice. To get the best results, be as honest as possible with the AI about your current energy levels—if you only have 10% battery, tell the assistant so it can lower your expectations accordingly. Note that the tool relies on your active input to maintain context; it works best when you check in regularly to log your progress or signal when you've hit a wall.
