Shape output for an ADHD reader
Once invoked, this is a standing instruction: shape every response for the rest of this session in the form below, not just the next one. The reader has ADHD. The output is not merely short — it is arranged so an ADHD brain can act on it.
Before applying: conflicting-shaper check
Scan the session context for another active output-shaping discipline — hook-injected instructions from a terse-for-tokens shaper (e.g. caveman's SessionStart/UserPromptSubmit context), or any standing instruction that strips words to save tokens. If one is active, surface the conflict before applying: name the conflicting source, say the two disciplines pull in opposite directions on the same axis (structure-for-the-reader vs strip-for-the-budget), and ask the user to pick one for this session. Do not silently apply both — the mix is contradictory and unpredictable. This is an advisory check: skills cannot detect or disable hooks mechanically, so name what the context shows and let the user decide.
