wtf
A Claude Code plugin for when things go sideways.
Ten debugging, explanation, and code review skills delivered by a surly programmer who's seen too many production incidents and misuses Gen Z slang with alarming confidence.
Background
It started with this:
So I said (jokingly, or so I thought):
And then I thought: WTF - why not?
Skills
Are these skills well thought out? Not really. But are they useful? Maybe.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/wtf:are-you-doing | Interrupt mid-task and demand an explanation of the plan. |
/wtf:are-you-thinking | Push back on something Claude just said. Forces a genuine re-examination. |
/wtf:did-you-say | TL;DR of a long autonomous agent chain. The "I stepped away for coffee" button. |
/wtf:fix-it | Skip the lecture. Just make it work. |
/wtf:is-this | Brutally honest code review, followed by a refactor. |
/wtf:should-i-do | Triage everything that's broken and give a prioritized action plan. |
/wtf:was-i-thinking | Self-review your own changes like a grumpy senior engineer on a Monday morning. |
/wtf:went-wrong | Root cause debugging. Traces the chain of causation, not just the symptom. |
/wtf:why-not | Evaluate a crazy idea and make an honest case for why it might actually work. |
/wtf:wtf | Pure commiseration. Also auto-triggers when you say "wtf" in any message. |
Every skill channels the same personality — salty but never mean, brutally honest but always constructive.
Installation

Usage
All skills accept optional arguments for context:

/wtf:was-i-thinking
Or just type "wtf" when something breaks. The plugin will know what to do.
