neurodivergent-visual-org

Visual organization tools for neurodivergent thinking. Claude Code skill with compassionate task breakdowns, decision trees, and focus support. Benefits operations teams with ADHD or executive dysfunction. Integrates with Mermaid diagrams and supports adaptive cognitive modes.

[{"step":"Define the task or project scope in 1-2 sentences. Be specific about the neurodivergent teammate's needs (e.g., 'They struggle with ambiguity' or 'They need visual cues').","action":"Replace [TASK/PROJECT] and [DESCRIBE TASK] in the prompt template with your specific scenario.","tip":"Include details about their cognitive mode (e.g., 'They think in images' or 'They need step-by-step clarity') for tailored outputs."},{"step":"Run the prompt in your AI tool (e.g., Claude Code) and review the Mermaid diagram output. Copy the diagram into a Mermaid-compatible editor (e.g., Mermaid Live Editor, Obsidian, or GitHub) to visualize it.","action":"Paste the Mermaid code into a markdown file or diagram tool. Adjust the graph layout if needed (e.g., use 'graph LR' for left-to-right flow).","tip":"Use the '---' syntax in Mermaid to add notes or warnings directly in the diagram (e.g., '---\\nWarning: This step requires a decision\\n---')."},{"step":"Implement the decision tree by testing the 'if-then' logic with real scenarios. For example, if the teammate gets stuck on venue booking, guide them to the 'Negotiate package' branch.","action":"Create a separate document or Notion page with the decision tree branches. Use bullet points or a flowchart tool (e.g., Lucidchart) for clarity.","tip":"Add 'red flags' to the decision tree (e.g., 'If no venues available, stop and reassess budget'). This prevents circular thinking."},{"step":"Convert the checklist into a task manager (e.g., Todoist, Trello, or Notion) with time estimates. Use the AI-generated checklist as a starting point, but adjust time blocks to match the teammate's actual pace.","action":"Import the checklist into your task manager and assign due dates. Use labels like 'ADHD-friendly' or 'Visual priority' for filtering.","tip":"Add 'micro-breaks' (5-10 min) between tasks to account for transition time. Use timers (e.g., Pomodoro) to enforce focus periods."},{"step":"Review the output with the neurodivergent teammate and iterate. Ask for feedback on what felt overwhelming or unclear, then refine the visual map, decision tree, or checklist accordingly.","action":"Schedule a 15-minute check-in to walk through the system together. Use their feedback to simplify or expand elements as needed.","tip":"If they prefer auditory input, record a Loom video explaining the system and share it with them."}]
