Overview

ADHD is a skill implementing tree-of-thought with pruning, spawning parallel divergent reasoning under isolated cognitive frames to avoid premature convergence. It scores, prunes traps, and deepens survivors, enhancing creativity for AI agents.

Tree-of-Thought widens the search but still walks a single shared context, so the anchoring persists across branches. **ADHD treats this as an architectural problem, not a prompting one** — it spawns N isolated reasoning processes under deliberately distorted cognitive frames, with zero shared context during divergence, then runs a separate critic pass to score, cluster, prune traps, and deepen the survivors.\n\nReach for it on **design decisions, fuzzy debugging, naming, API surface design, strategy, and any prompt of the shape *"give me a few ways to…"***.\n\n📄 **Preprint:** [ADHD: Parallel Divergent Ideation for Coding Agents](https://adhdstack.github.io/) · 👤 **Author:** Udit Akhouri — [@akhouriudit](https://x.com/akhouriudit) · [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/udit-akhouri-10160a168/)\n\n---\n\n## Side-by-side: baseline vs ADHD\n\nOne eval problem, s
