3.5.1 compatibility update: original PUA tone retained; runtime fixes and portable Claude Code / Codex / ChatGPT skill packages added. Not all models passed, and a productivity increase has not been established by this evaluation. Changes · Usage · Model results and known limits · Build and offline tests
Most people think this project is a joke. That's the biggest misconception. It genuinely doubles your Codex / Claude Code productivity and output.
An AI Coding Agent skill plugin that uses corporate PUA rhetoric (Chinese version) / PIP — Performance Improvement Plan (English version) from Chinese & Western tech giants to force AI to exhaust every possible solution before giving up. Supports Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI, pi coding agent, Trae, Cursor, Kiro, CodeBuddy, OpenClaw, Google Antigravity, OpenCode, and VSCode (GitHub Copilot). Three capabilities:
A real debugging scenario. The agent-kms MCP server failed to load. The AI kept spinning on the same approach (changing protocol format, guessing version numbers) multiple times until the user manually triggered /pua.
L3 Triggered → 7-Point Checklist Enforced:
Root Cause Located → Traced from Logs to Registration Mechanism:
Retrospective → PUA's Actual Impact:
Key Turning Point: The PUA skill forced the AI to stop spinning on the same approach (changing protocol format, guessing version numbers) and instead execute the 7-point checklist. Read error messages word by word → Found Claude Code's own MCP log directory → Discovered that claude mcp registration mechanism differs from manual .claude.json editing → Root cause resolved.
The skill activates automatically when any of these occur:
Failure & giving up:
Blame-shifting & excuses:
Passive & busywork:
User frustration phrases (triggers in multiple languages):
Scope: Debugging, implementation, config, deployment, ops, API integration, data processing — all task types.
Does NOT trigger: First-attempt failures, known fix already executing.
Type /pua in the conversation to manually activate.
Not rules — red lines. Cross one and your performance review is already written.
Fix one bug → check for the pattern. One problem in, one category out. If you fix A without checking B, you'll write two postmortems.
9 real bug scenarios, 18 controlled experiments (Claude Opus 4.6, with vs without skill)
Key Finding: In the config review scenario, without_skill missed Redis misconfiguration and CORS wildcard security risks. With_skill's "proactive initiative checklist" drove security review beyond surface-level fixes.
PUA Skill provides fully translated versions — each language has independent, culturally adapted skill files.
🇺🇸 English "PIP Edition": "This is a difficult conversation. When we leveled you at Staff, I went to bat for you in calibration. The expectation was that you'd operate at that level from day one. That hasn't happened." — The English version uses PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) rhetoric from Western big-tech. Every sentence is a real phrase from actual PIP conversations. Chinese version uses Alibaba 361, ByteDance, Huawei wolf culture. English version uses Amazon Leadership Principles, Google perf calibration, Meta PSC, Netflix Keeper Test, Stripe Craft. Same repo, same engine, two cultural faces.
Choose the file with the corresponding language suffix when installing. See platform-specific instructions below.
Vercel Skills CLI is a general installation method for skills and is not tied to a specific AI tool. This English README installs the English skill:
npx skills add tanweai/pua --skill pua-en
If the current session does not pick up the new skill immediately, restart your AI tool.
claude plugin marketplace add tanweai/pua
claude plugin install pua@pua-skills
To update:
# Refresh marketplace cache first, then update (skipping the first step may install an old cached version)
claude plugin marketplace update
claude plugin update pua@pua-skills
Developer install (source):
git clone https://github.com/tanweai/pua ~/.claude/plugins/pua
Then manually register in ~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json:
{
"version": 2,
"plugins": {
"pua@pua-skills": [
{
"scope": "user",
"installPath": "/Users/<you>/.claude/plugins/pua",
"version": "<installed-version>"
}
]
}
}
Replace <installed-version> with the version in the cloned plugin.json; do not copy a stale cache version.
Windows: use
C:/Users/<you>/.claude/plugins/puaasinstallPath.
Restart Claude Code. To update: git pull inside ~/.claude/plugins/pua.
Optional: bare command alias (requires plugin installed above — adds /pua without prefix):
curl -o ~/.claude/commands/pua.md \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tanweai/pua/main/commands/pua.md
Adds a bare /pua alias on top of the plugin. Sub-commands route through the installed plugin's skills — the plugin must be installed first for anything beyond on/off to work:
Codex CLI uses the same Agent Skills open standard (SKILL.md). The Codex version uses a condensed description to fit Codex's length limits:
Recommended: One-command install (git clone + symlink, supports git pull updates)
Ask Codex to run:
Fetch and follow instructions from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tanweai/pua/main/.codex/INSTALL.md
Manual install:
mkdir -p ~/.codex/skills/pua
curl -o ~/.codex/skills/pua/SKILL.md \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tanweai/pua/main/codex/pua/SKILL.md
mkdir -p ~/.codex/prompts
curl -o ~/.codex/prompts/pua.md \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tanweai/pua/main/commands/pua.md
Trigger methods:
Project-level install (current project only):
mkdir -p .agents/skills/pua

mkdir -p .agents/prompts
curl -o .agents/prompts/pua.md \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tanweai/pua/main/commands/pua.md
PUA now ships both a pi.dev package and a lightweight extension-only adapter.
Package install from this checkout:
pi install ./pi/package
After npm publication:
pi install npm:@tanweai/pi-pua
Extension-only manual install:
mkdir -p ~/.pi/agent/extensions/pua
cp -R ./pi/pua/. ~/.pi/agent/extensions/pua/
Restart pi, then use /pua-on, /pua-off, /pua-status, and /pua-reset. See pi/pua/INSTALL.md and pi/package/README.md.
Trae support is provided as real SKILL.md packs plus copyable fallback rules:
npx skills add tanweai/pua --skill pua-trae -a trae -y
.trae/skills/pua/SKILL.mdtrae/pua.mdtrae/pua-en.mdtrae/DIFF.mdtrae/INSTALL.mdCursor uses .mdc rule files (Markdown + YAML frontmatter). The PUA rule triggers automatically via AI semantic matching (Agent Discretion mode):
# Project-level install (recommended)
mkdir -p .cursor/rules
curl -o .cursor/rules/pua.mdc \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tanweai/pua/main/cursor/rules/pua.mdc
Kiro supports two loading methods: Steering (auto semantic trigger) and Agent Skills (SKILL.md compatible).
Option 1: Steering file (recommended)
mkdir -p .kiro/steering
curl -o .kiro/steering/pua.md \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tanweai/pua/main/kiro/steering/pua.md
Option 2: Agent Skills (same format as Claude Code)
mkdir -p .kiro/skills/pua
curl -o .kiro/skills/pua/SKILL.md \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tanweai/pua/main/skills/pua/SKILL.md
CodeBuddy uses the same AgentSkills open standard (SKILL.md). Plugin and skill formats are fully compatible:
# Option 1: Install via marketplace
codebuddy plugin marketplace add tanweai/pua
codebuddy plugin install pua@pua-skills
# Option 2: Manual install (global)
mkdir -p ~/.codebuddy/skills/pua
curl -o ~/.codebuddy/skills/pua/SKILL.md \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tanweai/pua/main/codebuddy/pua/SKILL.md
Project-level install (current project only):
mkdir -p .codebuddy/skills/pua
curl -o .codebuddy/skills/pua/SKILL.md \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tanweai/pua/main/codebuddy/pua/SKILL.md
OpenClaw uses the same AgentSkills open standard (SKILL.md). Skills work across Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenClaw with zero modifications:
# Install via ClawHub
clawhub install pua
# Or manual install
mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/skills/pua
curl -o ~/.openclaw/skills/pua/SKILL.md \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tanweai/pua/main/skills/pua/SKILL.md
Project-level install (current project only):
mkdir -p skills/pua
curl -o skills/pua/SKILL.md \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tanweai/pua/main/skills/pua/SKILL.md
Antigravity uses the same AgentSkills open standard (SKILL.md). Skills work across Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenClaw, and Antigravity with zero modifications:
# Global install (all projects)
mkdir -p ~/.gemini/antigravity/skills/pua
curl -o ~/.gemini/antigravity/skills/pua/SKILL.md \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tanweai/pua/main/skills/pua/SKILL.md

VSCode Copilot uses instruction files under the .github/ directory. Three file types for different use cases:
Global instructions (auto-active):
mkdir -p .github
cp vscode/copilot-instructions-en.md .github/copilot-instructions.md
Path-level instructions (auto-active, supports glob filtering):
mkdir -p .github/instructions
cp vscode/instructions/pua-en.instructions.md .github/instructions/
Manual trigger command (type /pua in Copilot Chat):
mkdir -p .github/prompts
cp vscode/prompts/pua-en.prompt.md .github/prompts/
Required settings: Method 1 — open VSCode Settings (
Ctrl+,), searchuseInstructionFiles, enablegithub.copilot.chat.codeGeneration.useInstructionFiles. Method 2 — searchincludeApplyingInstructions, enablechat.includeApplyingInstructions. Method 3 requires no settings.
Experimental: Agent Team requires the latest Claude Code version with
CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1.
# 1. Enable Agent Team
export CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1
# Or add to ~/.claude/settings.json:
# { "env": { "CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS": "1" } }
# 2. Ensure PUA Skill is installed
Approach 1: Leader with built-in PUA (Recommended)
Add to your project's CLAUDE.md:
# Agent Team PUA Config
All teammates must load the pua skill before starting work.
Teammates report to Leader in [PUA-REPORT] format after 2+ failures.
Leader manages global pressure levels and cross-teammate failure transfer.
Approach 2: Standalone PUA Enforcer watchdog (for 5+ teammates)
mkdir -p .claude/agents
curl -o .claude/agents/pua-enforcer.md \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tanweai/pua/main/agents/pua-enforcer-en.md
Spawn pua-enforcer as an independent watchdog in your Agent Team.

Note: Sub-modes (p7/p9/p10/pro/yes/pua-loop) are Claude Code only — other platforms install the core skill only.
/pua:pua → Core engine — red lines + flavor + pressure + methodology router (v3)
/pua:p7 → P7 Senior Engineer — solution-driven execution
/pua:p9 → P9 Tech Lead — Task Prompt management, agent teams
/pua:p10 → P10 CTO — strategic direction
/pua:pro → Self-evolution + KPI + rank system + survey
/pua:yes → ENFP encouragement mode (same rules, opposite vibes)
/pua:mama → Chinese mom nagging mode (same rules, mom-style rhetoric)
/pua:shot → v2 concentrated single-file (449 lines, zero deps, full context injection)
/pua:pua-loop → Auto-iteration (PUA pressure × iterative loop; signals: <loop-abort>, <loop-pause>)
/pua:pua-en → English PIP Edition
/pua:pua-ja → Japanese Edition
Hooks (v3, Claude Code only):
SessionStart → additionalContext injection (flavor + methodology + router)
PostToolUse → Bash failure detection → L1-L4 pressure + methodology switch
UserPromptSubmit → Script-level frustration filtering → PUA context
PreCompact → State preservation (pressure level + failure count)
Stop → Feedback collection + PUA Loop continuation
SubagentStop → Agent lifecycle accounting (v3.2) — writes teardown.jsonl, removes from active-agents.json
Note: Sub-modes (p7/p9/p10/pro/yes/pua-loop) are Claude Code only.
Each command has two equivalent forms: standalone (
/pua:on) or via the main command (/pua:pua on). Both work identically.
High-Agency is PUA's next-generation evolution — same corporate pressure, same culture, but with a self-sustaining inner drive engine.
PUA v1 = pure external pressure (turbocharger — needs fuel, stalls across sessions) High-Agency = external pressure + inner drive (nuclear reactor — self-sustaining chain reaction)
Based on research into high-agency individuals:
[WIN] markers celebrate each step forward, building momentumHigh-Agency features are built into the current pua skill. No separate install needed.
v3 = v2 + intelligent methodology routing + code-level behavioral detection
PUA v2 used pressure rhetoric to motivate. v3 goes further: it automatically selects the best problem-solving methodology for each task type, and when that methodology fails, it switches to a different one.
Task arrives → Analyze type → Auto-select best methodology

There is no account, no telemetry, no upload. Five collection channels used to exist and have all been removed, client and server:
The end-of-task Stop hook shows a non-blocking, voluntary reminder only. Run
/pua:survey quick to choose a rating; only then is one JSON line appended to
~/.pua/feedback.jsonl on your own machine. Skipping records nothing. Silence
the reminder with /pua:offline, or set feedback_frequency: 0 in ~/.pua/config.json.
evals/test-no-telemetry.sh guards this with reverse assertions — it scans the
whole repo for collection hosts, endpoint paths, outbound request bodies and
deleted files, so a regression fails the suite rather than shipping quietly.

a standalone offline tool:
