Attention Control trims coding-agent output and lifts blind-eval scores
aaddrick · reddit · 2026-08-04
A developer built “Attention Control,” a skill/output style for coding agents that strips fluff and forces short, action-first replies.
It works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Zed, and any skills harness. The author says blind-judged evals over 24 cases showed a weighted quality gain from 4.019 to 4.510, with the biggest gains in concision, language, and actionability.
The style combines the spirit of i-have-adhd with ASD-STE100-inspired plain technical English.
