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
