As a person who has ADHD, it feels weird when people who obviously do not have it, claim to have it, while there's very little I wouldn't do to "get rid of it" (in quotes because it makes me, me but it's very hard to be me).
So when someone says they feel like they have ADHD, they are probably not inaccurate.
I don't think we can skill our way out of this one.
This is just an annoying thing for anyone. It gives a 10 page dissertation that sums up to, "it's good, nothing to worry about".

I mean... like most spectrum disorders, most people experience and can relate to at least some of the core symptoms, even if they don't express the full spectrum or severity. So when someone says they feel like they have ADHD, they are probably not inaccurate.
Can someone explain why this is a agent skill and not just agent config (AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md)?

No, great, I'm not offended or anything (why would I be), and I wish I could relate back, it's just a weird feeling, that's all.
When you have it, ADHD is such a dominant factor in the way your life is organized and experienced, its not surprising that it can become a core part of your identity.
I do think it's easy for those with it to over romanticize what it's like to not have it. The lack of ADHD isn't a magic bullet for success and good life outcomes.
Like so many of life's real or perceived barriers, when one gets removed, you'll often find there is another one with a different shape just behind.
The challenge, for anyone, is pressing forward anyways.
