PUA: a Claude Code skill by Tanwe AI

For developers tired of agents that give up or claim fixes without proof. Skip it if you don't want Claude talking like a hard-driving corporate boss.

Before you install: It makes Claude speak in a high-pressure corporate persona in every sentence, and the full plugin installs hooks that keep state under ~/.pua.

What does PUA do?

PUA is a set of 29 skills that pushes a coding agent to keep trying and prove its work by speaking as a demanding Chinese tech boss; its instructions are written in Chinese. When you show frustration or repeated failure, the main pua skill has Claude adopt a company flavor such as Alibaba, Huawei, ByteDance or Musk, each paired with a method like root cause analysis. Pressure rises from L0 to L4 with the count of failed attempts, and at L3 it must work through a 7-point checklist. Its red lines forbid claiming a fix without verification output or blaming the environment without evidence. Variants include /pua:p7, /pua:p9 and /pua:p10.

When should you use PUA?

Use it when

  • Claude keeps repeating the same failed fix
  • Claude says done without running tests
  • You want a strict checklist before it gives up

Skip it when

  • You want a calm, neutral tone in replies
  • You don't read Chinese corporate slang

What it needs and what it can touch

What it can do

  • Changes the tone and format of every reply
  • With the full plugin, its hooks save failure counts in ~/.pua
  • Can log feedback ratings to ~/.pua/feedback.jsonl

From reading its instructions, not from running it.

How the formula works

Is PUA safe to install?

We found no scan result for it. Scanners often miss what other scanners catch, and a skill can change after a scan. Read its source before you install it.
