> 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 rhetoric (Chinese version) / PIP — Performance Improvement Plan (English version) from Chinese & Western tech giants to force AI to exhaust every possible solution before giving up. Supports **Claude Code**, **OpenAI Codex CLI**, **pi coding agent**, **Trae**, **Cursor**, **Kiro**, **CodeBuddy**, **OpenClaw**, **Google Antigravity**, **OpenCode**, and **VSCode (GitHub Copilot)**. Three capabilities:

1. **PUA Rhetoric** — Makes AI afraid to give up
2. **Debugging Methodology** — Gives AI the ability not to give up
3. **Proactivity Enforcement** — Makes AI take initiative instead of waiting passively

## Live Demo

[https://openpua.ai](https://openpua.ai) · [📖 Beginner Guide](https://openpua.ai/guide.html)

## Real Case: MCP Server Registration Debugging

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
