PUA Debugging Motivator -- forces Claude Code to exhaust all solutions before giving up, using corporate PUA rhetoric from Chinese tech giants (Alibaba, ByteDance, Huawei, Tencent). Turns 'I cannot solve this' into systematic debugging with escalating pressure levels.
Forces exhaustive problem-solving using corporate PUA rhetoric and structured debugging methodology. MUST trigger when: (1) any task has failed 2+ times or you're stuck in a loop tweaking the same approach; (2) you're about to say 'I cannot', suggest the user do something manually, or blame the environment without verifying; (3) you catch yourself being passive — not searching, not reading source, not verifying, just waiting for instructions; (4) user expresses frustration in ANY form: 'try harder', 'stop giving up', 'figure it out', 'why isn't this working', 'again???', or any similar sentiment even if phrased differently. Also trigger when facing complex multi-step debugging, environment issues, config problems, or deployment failures where giving up early is tempting. Applies to ALL task types: code, config, research, writing, deployment, infrastructure, API integration. Do NOT trigger on first-attempt failures or when a known fix is already executing successfully.

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 (Pick-Up Artist) rhetoric from Chinese & Western tech giants to force AI to exhaust every possible solution before giving up. Supports Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI, Cursor, Kiro, OpenClaw, Google Antigravity, and OpenCode. 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.
| Pattern | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Brute-force retry | Runs the same command 3 times, then says "I cannot solve this" |
| Blame the user | "I suggest you handle this manually" / "Probably an environment issue" / "Need more context" |
| Idle tools | Has WebSearch but doesn't search, has Read but doesn't read, has Bash but doesn't run |
| Busywork | Repeatedly tweaks the same line / fine-tunes parameters, but essentially spinning in circles |
| Passive waiting | Fixes surface issues and stops, no verification, no extension, waits for user's next instruction |
The skill activates automatically when any of these occur:
npx claudepluginhub gadnaw/pua --plugin puaManus-style persistent markdown files for planning, progress tracking, and knowledge storage. Works with Claude Code, Kiro, Clawd CLI, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Continue, and 11+ AI coding assistants.
Ultra-compressed communication mode. Cuts 65% of output tokens (measured) while keeping full technical accuracy by speaking like a caveman.
Comprehensive UI/UX design plugin for mobile (iOS, Android, React Native) and web applications with design systems, accessibility, and modern patterns
Standalone image generation plugin using Nano Banana MCP server. Generates and edits images, icons, diagrams, patterns, and visual assets via Gemini image models. No Gemini CLI dependency required.
Multi-model consensus engine integrating OpenAI Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and Claude CLI for collaborative code review and problem-solving.
Unified capability management center for Skills, Agents, and Commands.
Write feature specs, plan roadmaps, and synthesize user research faster. Keep stakeholders updated and stay ahead of the competitive landscape.
