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: 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: 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: 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...
