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."

Setup
- Install the pack —
openclaw skills install brainhack-adhd-sidekick - Run onboarding — the agent asks 4 questions in casual conversation (~2 min) and populates USER.md
- Start talking — ROUTER.md maps what users say to the right skill automatically
- 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
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be what it says — a ready-made ADHD-focused agent pack for Telegram/WhatsApp — but it will store personal and health-related information (e.g., medication timing, emotional states, session transcripts) in the agent's memory files and can send a single proactive re-engagement message after inactivity. Before installing: 1) Confirm where USER.md / MEMORY.md are stored and who has access (are they encrypted/backed up to cloud?), 2) Decide whether you’re comfortable the agent can send outbound messages (cron/heartbeat) and set limits if possible, 3) Avoid entering highly sensitive health or legal information if you’re unsure about retention/policy, 4) If you plan to enable calendar or other integrations (the pack mentions integrations), verify what credentials will be requested and why, and 5) Remember this is not a replacement for professional medical or psychiatric care. If any of these privacy/retention items are unacceptable, ask the publisher for a data-retention/privacy policy or modify configuration to disable memory persistence or proactive messages before use.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: brainhack-adhd-sidekick
Version: 1.0.0
The 'brainhack-adhd-sidekick' bundle is a comprehensive AI agent configuration designed for ADHD productivity and emotional support. The instructions across files like BRAIN.md, SOUL.md, and ROUTER.md are strictly aligned with neurodivergent support, utilizing evidence-based techniques like CBT/DBT and body doubling. While the agent tracks user patterns in MEMORY.md and requests integration with calendars/task apps (tool-integrations.md), these behaviors are transparently documented and necessary for the stated purpose. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious code execution, or harmful prompt injection was found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (ADHD sidekick, messaging-based) align with the files and the declared requirements: no binaries, no env vars, and no install. The included skills, personas, and knowledge files are coherent with an ADHD-focused conversational agent that runs in Telegram/WhatsApp.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the included files instruct the agent to perform onboarding, route messages to specific skills, write session summaries, and accumulate MEMORY.md / USER.md (explicit persistent storage of session context and sensitive fields such as medication status). It also includes a proactive re-engagement behavior ('send one proactive re-engagement message (via cron or heartbeat)' after 7+ days). These behaviors are within the stated scope, but they imply persistent storage and automatic outbound messaging that you should be aware of.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only. This is the lowest-risk install model; nothing is downloaded or written by an installer beyond the agent's normal skill install command.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables or external credentials, which is proportionate. However, it intentionally collects and persists sensitive user-provided data (ADHD profile, medication timing, emotional state, open tasks, session logs). That is logically related to the purpose but raises privacy considerations because health-related and behavioral data will be stored in agent memory files.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill explicitly instructs writing to USER.md and MEMORY.md and keeping session logs and pattern recognition flags. It does not set always:true. Persistent memory and the ability to send scheduled/proactive messages are legitimate for this use case, but represent additional privilege and persistent presence: review where those files are stored, how long data is retained, and whether outbound messaging is acceptable for your use case.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install brainhack-adhd-sidekick - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/brainhack-adhd-sidekick - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
