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 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: 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...

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...
