ADHD skill for coding agents: architectural variant for the 'deepen step' in `Phase 2`: `cluster-level narrowing` vs. `idea-level deepening`.

Optimizing the exploration-exploitation trade-off in `LLM` agent reasoning for comprehensive variant generation.
This issue proposes a critical architectural refinement for `ADHD`'s 'deepen step,' shifting from `idea-level` to `cluster-level narrowing`. This addresses the pain point of potentially missing valuable implementation variants by focusing too narrowly on individual ideas. The `cluster-level` appr...

ADHD skill for coding agents: implementing `frame-selection learning across runs` via a 'dreaming' feedback loop.

Enhancing `ADHD`'s adaptive intelligence and efficiency by dynamically optimizing `frame selection` based on historical performance.
Implementing `frame-selection learning` via a 'dreaming' feedback loop addresses a critical efficiency and intelligence gap in `ADHD`'s current static frame selection. Dynamically biasing frame choices based on historical performance for specific problem types will significantly enhance `ADHD`'s ...

ADHD skill for coding agents: restructuring `SKILL.md` documentation for clarity and efficiency.

Optimizing `LLM` agent context loading and improving documentation clarity for developers.
Restructuring `SKILL.md` to separate `trigger logic` (in `YAML frontmatter`) from `execution details` (in the body) addresses a critical efficiency and clarity pain point. Redundant `trigger logic` in the skill body wastes `LLM` context and introduces unnecessary cognitive load for developers. Th...

ADHD skill for coding agents: demonstrating its value proposition through a `side-by-side example` in the `README`.

Making `ADHD`'s abstract benefits concrete and immediately understandable to new users, accelerating comprehension and adoption.
The request for a `side-by-side example` in the `README` highlights a critical user experience pain point: abstract concepts hinder immediate value perception. For a complex `LLM` agent skill like `ADHD`, demonstrating a 'concrete win' against a baseline is paramount for rapid comprehension and a...

ADHD skill for coding agents: clarifying its methodological distinction from simple 'think about alternatives' prompting.

Defending `ADHD`'s core architectural innovation of `parallel divergence` against oversimplification and demonstrating its superior efficacy.
This issue addresses a fundamental misunderstanding of `ADHD`'s core mechanism: the perception that it is merely an elaborate 'think about alternatives' prompt. This mischaracterization undermines `ADHD`'s architectural innovation of `parallel divergence`. Explicitly documenting why single-chain ...

ADHD skill for coding agents: conducting `head-to-head evaluations` against competing `LLM` reasoning methods.

Establishing `ADHD`'s superior performance and unique value proposition through direct, quantitative comparison against state-of-the-art alternatives.
The demand for `head-to-head evaluations` against `Mixture-of-Agents`, `Self-Consistency`, `GPT-5 Pro`, and `superpower-brainstorm` highlights a critical market need for clear differentiation. Positioning `ADHD` solely against `CoT` and `ToT` is insufficient given the evolving `LLM` landscape. Ru...

ADHD skill for coding agents: validating performance metrics across varying divergence `K` values.

Establishing robust, empirically validated performance claims against academic literature, addressing a 'K-gap' in evaluation.
This issue directly addresses a critical validation gap for the `ADHD` skill: aligning its performance claims with academic benchmarks. The 'K-gap' between `ADHD`'s `K=5` evaluations and literature's `K=100` undermines the product's quantitative positioning. Running `evals` at higher `K` values i...

ADHD skill for coding agents: clarifying the conceptual distinction of 'ADHD frames' from `personas` and `domain specialists`.

Refining the theoretical and practical differentiation of `ADHD`'s core mechanism within the `LLM` agent landscape.
This issue addresses a critical positioning vulnerability for the `ADHD` skill: the conflation of its 'frames' mechanism with `personas` and `domain specialists`. Misinterpreting `ADHD` frames as mere `personas` invites direct contradiction from existing `LLM` research. Explicitly distinguishing ...

ADHD skill for coding agents: addressing counter-evidence regarding its `human-in-the-loop` applicability for problem reframing.

Maintaining academic integrity and pre-empting critiques by transparently acknowledging limitations and distinguishing `ADHD`'s primary `LLM-to-LLM` context.
This issue confronts direct counter-evidence from a `CHI 2025` study regarding `LLM` utility in `human-in-the-loop` problem reframing, which directly challenges `ADHD`'s implied use cases. Acknowledging this limitation and explicitly distinguishing `ADHD`'s `LLM-to-LLM` agent loop context from hu...

Multiplayer, a local debugging agent that runs alongside coding agents (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Copilot) to capture full-stack, unsampled session data (frontend actions, backend traces/logs, request/response content/headers) only when issues occur, then deduplicates them before feeding to the coding agent.

Solves the problem of 'PR slop' caused by coding agents inheriting limitations from existing observability stacks (sampled traces, aggregated metrics, limited context). Positions itself as providing a 'complete, correlated picture of what actually broke' by capturing unsampled, full-stack data locally and deduplicating issues.
Multiplayer addresses a critical gap in the emerging AI-assisted development workflow: the inadequacy of traditional observability data for debugging by coding agents. Existing observability stacks, with their sampled traces and aggregated metrics, provide insufficient context, leading to 'PR slo...
