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).

#55Claude models are the ones that need this the most and in my experience with this specific skill only maintain the conciseness for a few turns at most before they completely forget and are back to their unfathomable verbosity. That's with it instructed to use it in my sparse global CLAUDE.md and also manually repeating it regularly during sessions. I don't really want to install a hook that runs this on every single…
Concise: Claude leads with the result, skips preamble and narration, and
keeps responses short by default, while doing the engineering work as
thoroughly as in the Default style. When you ask for an explanation or
more detail, Claude answers in full. Claude always keeps the complete
content of error reports, security warnings, and confirmations for
destructive actions. Requires Claude Code v2.1.237 or later.

#56Earlier quoted context omitted.
Can you explain what about is it a gift? What are the benefits you get from it?
I have found both hyperfocus and the ability to quickly "drop" (i.e. distract from) a train of thought incredibly useful.
People with ADHD have "time blindness"; we don't process time the same way most people do.
We often don't realize 3 or 4 hours have passed and there were other things we needed to get done.

I have it and it is absolute gift that I wouldn’t trade for anything. It has taken years to figure how to harness it though.

#59Can someone explain why this is a agent skill and not just agent config (AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md)?

Claude Code has output styles; one of the predefined styles is Concise [1].
