How to Install i-have-adhd for Qwen Code: Complete Setup Guide

Install the extension with qwen extensions install ayghri/i-have-adhd, then type /i-have-adhd in any Qwen Code session to activate ADHD-friendly output formatting without additional configuration.

The i-have-adhd repository by ayghri provides a Qwen Code extension that automatically registers a slash command for restructuring AI responses to improve focus and readability. When installed, Qwen Code discovers the skill definition in the skills/ directory and makes the command available immediately across all sessions.

Installation Steps

Install the Extension

Open your terminal and run the Qwen Code CLI installation command. This registers the repository as a native extension and clones the package to your local extensions directory.

qwen extensions install ayghri/i-have-adhd

The command automatically pulls the repository and scans the skills/ folder to register the i-have-adhd skill.

Verify the Installation

Confirm the extension is active by listing all installed Qwen extensions. You should see i-have-adhd in the output.

qwen extensions list

Look for i-have-adhd in the returned list to confirm successful registration.

Activate the Skill

Start a new Qwen Code session and invoke the slash command to enable ADHD-friendly formatting for the current session.

/i-have-adhd

The first response will be shaped according to the rules defined in skills/i-have-adhd/SKILL.md, applying structural modifications that improve readability for ADHD users.

Update or Uninstall

To pull the latest changes from the repository without reinstalling:

qwen extensions update i-have-adhd

To completely remove the extension and unregister the slash command:

qwen extensions uninstall i-have-adhd

How the Extension Works

Qwen Code loads plugins as extensions and automatically discovers skill definitions under the skills/ directory. According to the repository's INSTALL.md, once installed, the harness registers the /i-have-adhd slash command without requiring manual configuration.

The key components include:

• skills/i-have-adhd/SKILL.md – Contains the actual skill definition and ADHD-friendly output rules that Qwen reads when the extension loads
• INSTALL.md – Provides the official installation, verification, update, and uninstall commands specific to Qwen Code
• opencode.json – Lists the extension metadata for the OpenCode runtime, indicating how the repository is packaged for compatible runtimes

After installation, the extension remains active across sessions until uninstalled. Each invocation of /i-have-adhd toggles the formatting rules defined in the skill configuration.

Summary

• Install using qwen extensions install ayghri/i-have-adhd to register the extension
• Verify installation with qwen extensions list to confirm i-have-adhd appears
• Activate by typing /i-have-adhd in any Qwen Code session to enable ADHD-friendly output
• Update with qwen extensions update i-have-adhd or remove with qwen extensions uninstall i-have-adhd
• No configuration files need editing—the extension reads rules directly from skills/i-have-adhd/SKILL.md

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to configure anything after installing the extension?

No additional configuration is required. The extension is a native package that automatically registers the skill when Qwen Code scans the skills/ directory. The system reads the formatting rules directly from skills/i-have-adhd/SKILL.md without requiring user intervention.

Where does Qwen Code store the skill definition?

The skill definition resides in skills/i-have-adhd/SKILL.md within the installed extension directory. Qwen Code accesses this file to apply the ADHD-friendly formatting rules when you invoke the /i-have-adhd slash command.

Can I use this extension with other AI coding assistants besides Qwen Code?

The repository includes opencode.json metadata indicating packaging for the OpenCode runtime, but the specific installation commands and slash command integration described in INSTALL.md are designed specifically for Qwen Code. Other assistants would require compatible extension loading mechanisms.

How do I temporarily disable the ADHD formatting without uninstalling?

Currently, the extension toggles formatting on a per-session basis when you invoke /i-have-adhd. To disable the formatting for a specific session, simply do not invoke the command. There is no global disable flag—uninstall the extension using qwen extensions uninstall i-have-adhd if you wish to permanently remove the functionality.
