aaddrick/attention-control — applies air traffic control rules to every Codex reply: command first, background last, no preamble and no recap.

Why it is worth your time. ATC phraseology exists because a distracted human under load mishears an instruction. Aviation solved that with two disciplines: controlled vocabulary, so each word means one thing, and fixed message shape, so the instruction leads and the background trails. This ports both to a coding agent. The reply opens with the command you can run, states errors as location, cause, and fix, and gives time estimates in concrete units instead of "some work".

It is not a concision prompt. The rules keep every fact, number, and condition, because a dropped condition costs a round trip.

Codex install. codex plugin marketplace add aaddrick/attention-control --ref main, then codex plugin add attention-control@attention-control. Codex has no output style slot, so the rules ship as a skill. For every turn instead of one, the repo ships an always-on AGENTS.md snippet.

Provenance. The shape layer adapts i-have-adhd by Ayoub G. (MIT). The language layer derives from L1nefeed's asd-ste100 output style, condensed from ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English, Issue 9. The project reproduces no text from the ASD specification, and the ASD does not certify, endorse, or sponsor it.

Codex skill that shapes every reply: the runnable command leads, the
background trails, and no preamble or recap survives. Ships the same
ruleset to seven agents; Codex takes it as a skill.

Shape layer adapts ayghri/i-have-adhd (MIT). Language layer derives from
L1nefeed's asd-ste100 output style, condensed from ASD-STE100 Issue 9.
