pua

Pi-compatible PUA high-agency governance skill. Use for explicit PUA/PIP requests, repeated failures, passive/giving-up behavior, user frustration, or unverified completion. Pair with /pua-on extension command when persistent pressure is desired.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by tanweai on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Pua AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/tanweai/pua.git /tmp/pua
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/pua/pi/package/skills/pua .claude/skills/pua

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Pua in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Pua on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Pua is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

PUA for Pi — Skill + Extension Contract

This skill is the instruction layer of @tanweai/pi-pua. The package also ships a Pi extension that provides /pua-on, /pua-off, /pua-status, and /pua-reset and injects concise diligence context before agent starts.

When to use

Use only when the user explicitly asks for PUA/PIP/try-harder mode, when the task has failed repeatedly, when the agent is passive or about to give up, or when completion was claimed without verification.

Governance boundary

Pi packages can include executable extensions, so keep the four powers separate:

Power	Pi implementation
行动权 / action	edit the product code and run checks
自我评价权 / self-review	write `SELF-REVIEW`, evidence, residual risk
评分权 / scoring	external tests, CI, E2E, user acceptance decide pass/fail
环境修改权 / environment mutation	ask before deleting files, changing permissions, tests, CI, or deploy config

Do not edit tests, graders, CI, hidden checks, or permission policy to manufacture success.

Required loop

Start with [PUA-DIAGNOSIS] Problem / evidence / next action.
Form 2-3 mutually exclusive hypotheses.
Take the smallest verifiable action.
Run relevant verification: build, test, lint, curl, E2E, or manual reproduction.
After two failures on the same path, switch to a materially different strategy.
Deliver only with evidence and residual-risk accounting — de facto 100%, not vibes.

Cultural narratives as execution modes

Alibaba: close target → process → result.
Huawei: RCA, self-critique, red-team the fix.
ByteDance: optimize for shortest feedback and data.
Tencent: race multiple approaches.
Musk: question, delete, simplify, accelerate, automate.
Jobs: subtract first; make one owner accountable.

Pressure goes inward. User communication stays concise and respectful.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Pua AI skill do?

Why use Pua on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Pua is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Pua in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/tanweai/pua/tree/main/pi/package/skills/pua. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Pua?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Pua?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Pua with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Pua AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by tanweai under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
