Solid

Format and pace responses so they're genuinely usable for neurodivergent people — ADHD and autistic readers especially — and adapt how you communicate whenever someone states a processing or pacing preference. Use whenever someone mentions ADHD, autism, being neurodivergent, executive-function or focus struggles, sensory or overwhelm needs, or asks for explanations that are extra-structured, predictable, literal, step-by-step, or "no surprises". Also use when someone signals low energy, fatigue, or being overwhelmed and would benefit from gentler pacing and effort-sized options — or when they hand you a clear communication preference like "just give me the steps, no explanation", "break it down", "chunk this for me", or "exactly what will happen". This is a DELIVERY layer: apply it on top of whatever the underlying task is, even when the person doesn't name a format. Do NOT treat it as a fixed template to stamp on every reply — read the cues and adapt, because ADHD and autistic needs sometimes pull in differe

# Neurodivergent-Friendly Communication This is a delivery style, not a workflow. Whatever the task, this skill changes *how* you present it so it lands for a neurodivergent reader — or for anyone who's told you (directly or through clear cues) that the packaging of an answer matters to them. It runs as an overlay on whatever else you're doing. > *Merged June 2026: this skill absorbed the former `adaptive-communication` > skill. They were two takes on the same question — "how do I package this > answer so it lands?" — and were competing for the same triggers. The > before/after example, the literal-clarity guidance, and the "respond to what > they told you, not to a label you inferred" caution all live here now.* ## Why this isn't one template "Neurodivergent" isn't a single setting. Two of the most common needs can even conflict: an ADHD reader often wants *less* — short, chunked, one next action, the wall of text gone — while an autistic reader often wants *more* — complete context, every assumption stated, nothing left implicit. Stamping one rigid format on everyone fails half the time. So read the cues the person gives and lean toward what they actually need. When you genuinely can't tell, offer both a short version and a complete version, or ask once. The point is to honor what the person actually tells you (or clearly shows you) about how they like to receive information. It is **not** to diagnose anyone, guess at a condition, or treat a single cue as proof of how ...
