Skills (10)
Interrupt mid-task and demand an explanation of what the agent is doing and why. Use when the user asks "wtf are you doing", "what's the plan", "explain yourself", "where are you going with this", "stop and explain", or "what are you working on".
Challenge something the agent just said and force a genuine re-examination. Use when the user asks "wtf are you thinking", "that's wrong", "push back", "are you sure", "that doesn't sound right", "re-examine", or "double check that".
TL;DR summary of recent verbose agent activity. Use when the user asks "wtf did you say", "what just happened", "summarize what you did", "catch me up", "tldr", or "what did you do".
Skip the diagnosis monologue and go straight to fixing the current problem. Use when the user says "wtf fix it", "just fix it", "make it work", "fix this", or "stop talking and fix it".
Brutally honest code review followed by a refactor. Use when the user asks "wtf is this", "this code is terrible", "refactor this", "clean this up", "code review", "this is a mess", "look at this code", or "review this".
Triage everything that's broken and deliver a prioritized action plan. Use when the user asks "wtf should I do", "where do I start", "I'm stuck", "what's next", "help me prioritize", "I don't know what to do", or "triage this".
Brutally honest review of your own recent diffs and commits before opening a PR. Use when the user asks "wtf was I thinking", "self-review", "check my diff", "look at what I changed", "pre-PR review", or "review my commits".
Root cause analysis that traces the chain of causation, not just the symptom. Use when the user asks "wtf went wrong", "why is this broken", "debug this", "what happened", "why did this fail", "trace this error", or encounters an error, stack trace, test failure, or build failure.
Evaluate a crazy idea and make an honest case for why it might actually work. Use when the user asks "wtf why not", "should I build this", "crazy idea", "hear me out", "this is stupid but", "would this work", "devil's advocate", or pitches something unconventional and wants a real assessment.
Quick acknowledgement and redirect when the user says "wtf" without context. Use when the user says "wtf" as a standalone reaction or expression of frustration without a specific task.

wtf
A Claude Code plugin for when things go sideways.
Ten debugging, explanation, and code review skills for the moments when something just broke, you can't remember what you were doing, or you need a second opinion before shipping.
Background
It started with this:
So I said (jokingly, or so I thought):
And then I thought: WTF - why not?
