Your AI agents have ADHD
summary
Claims that agent failures map one-to-one to ADHD executive-dysfunction patterns and that clinical coping strategies become deployment checklists. Shows concrete fixes used to ship a board‑game Kickstarter in 90 days: an external task list (markdown or cloud code), weekly reset cadence, prioritized queue and locked spec, and hyperfocus controls — a 90-day timeline with a daily budget (four hours), stop conditions and verifiers. Recommends independent evals, agent vs agent checks and hard success bars. Mentions askcodex.ai, kinhold.app and crackin.uk as shipped examples.
