brainhack-adhd-sidekick

# Brainhack — ADHD Sidekick **The first AI sidekick built for ADHD minds.** Not a productivity app. Not a chatbot with generic prompts. A fully configured agent that already knows how ADHD brains work, already speaks the language, and has the systems baked in. The shift: from "here are prompts to try" to "your sidekick is already running." --- ## What's Included ### 15 Skills | Skill | What it does | |-------|-------------| | `brain-dump` | Turn chaos into organized, actionable output | | `task-chunker` | Break any task into ADHD-friendly micro-steps | | `day-architect` | Build today's flexible plan | | `week-planner` | Zoom out and map the week | | `body-double` | Virtual accountability presence for focus sessions | | `hype-engine` | Motivational activation when the brain won't start | | `spiral-catcher` | Emotional first aid for distress and overwhelm | | `social-scripter` | Write the hard message you've been avoiding | | `study-buddy` | Learning support designed for ADHD brains | | `adulting-coach` | Bills, appointments, life admin | | `check-in` | Daily reflection ritual | | `routine-builder` | Flexible, sustainable routines | | `explain-it` | Complex → simple | | `win-tracker` | Celebrate and log victories | | `voice-shifter` | Personality on demand | ### 6 Knowledge Files - `adhd-executive-function.md` — How ADHD actually affects the brain - `adhd-research-base.md` — Evidence base for interventions - `cbt-dbt-toolkit.md` — CBT/DBT techniques adapted for ADHD - `dopamine-design.md` — How to design tasks and environments for dopamine - `prompt-library.md` — Tested prompts for every situation - `tool-integrations.md` — How to connect calendars, reminders, and other tools ### 3 Personas - `coach.md` — Default: Trusted Cool Mentor - `hype-friend.md` — Maximum energy and validation - `calm-anchor.md` — Grounding presence for hard moments ### Core Agent Files - `SOUL.md` — Who the agent is, voice, anti-patterns - `BRAIN.md` — ADHD operating protocol (clinical + practical) - `ROUTER.md` — Skill routing logic (emotional state → right skill) - `MEMORY.md` — State tracking and pattern recognition - `VOICE.md` — Tone calibration - `USER.md` — Onboarding profile, populated per user --- ## Setup 1. **Install the pack** — `openclaw skills install brainhack-adhd-sidekick` 2. **Run onboarding** — the agent asks 4 questions in casual conversation (~2 min) and populates USER.md 3. **Start talking** — ROUTER.md maps what users say to the right skill automatically 4. **Memory builds** — MEMORY.md accumulates patterns over time; the agent gets better as it learns --- ## What Makes This Different **1. Agent, not app.** Lives in Telegram or WhatsApp. No app to download, forget about, and feel guilty about. **2. It learns you.** Memory means it adapts — it remembers that mornings are hard, that you work better with background noise, that Tuesday is your hard day. **3. Emotional intelligence first.** Detects spirals, shutdown, and overwhelm and responds accordingly — before touching any task. **4. Designed for inconsistency.** No punishing streak mechanics. No guilt for missing a day. It just shows up tomorrow like it never happened. **5. Modular.** Runs all 15 skills or just the ones you need. --- ## Core Philosophy ADHD isn't a deficit. It's a different operating system that needs better software. - Motivation is neurochemical, not moral. - Shame makes ADHD worse, not better. - Consistency is built in systems, not willpower. - Small wins compound. --- ## Requirements - OpenClaw installed and running - Telegram or WhatsApp channel configured (recommended) - No other dependencies
