Is the Neurodivergent Mode skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from eskokoivula/neurodivergent-mode. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Neurodivergent Mode SkillProof Score?

8.8/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 4/5.

How do I install Neurodivergent Mode?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Neurodivergent Mode with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 8.8/10
Tested: Jul 16, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 3c73fa0

On 'elevate this idea: shorten onboarding to cut churn,' the skill's reframe committed to a falsifiable claim ('length is a proxy for time-to-value, not the driver — shortening it can cut the reward step too') with an MVP build plan and a labeled bold-bet verdict, where a plain baseline answer stayed at generic hedging ('investigate root cause, A/B test, survey users').

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Neurodivergent Mode does

Runs a five-move drift-then-return reasoning chain (concrete detail, internal simulation, cross-domain wander, find the contradiction, rebuild the frame) to reframe a problem, elevate an existing brainstorm, or write a personal-reflective or philosophical piece, then tests the result with an adversarial critic before shipping it. Triggers on phrases like 'elevate this', 'ND mode', 'autist mode', 'reframe this — see the system', or 'what am I missing structurally'.

Commands — how to trigger Neurodivergent Mode

/neurodivergent-mode Forces a structural reframe of an idea or essay instead of a smarter version of the obvious answer.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

Elevate this idea: shorten onboarding to reduce churn, dig deeper
Reframe this essay, I feel like I'm missing something structural here
Give me a structural rewrite of this brainstorm, not just polish
