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.
