takes-pua

takes-pua is a command for Claude Code from an8079/take-skills. It costs 19 tokens per session (610 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An optional motivational command that uses friendly competition to encourage someone after repeated failed attempts or when they are close to giving up. It does not use insults or belittle the user.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you want competitive encouragement to try again, continue through a difficult debugging task, or choose between continuing and an alternative approach.
Why use it?
It provides an extra push when progress has stalled or motivation is low. It is activated by the user or in the situations described by the command, rather than being part of every normal development task.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

takes-pua scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

/pua - 激将激励模式

通过竞争激励的方式激发用户斗志,当你多次尝试仍未成功时激活。

使用方式

/pua

激励我
给我点压力

激活时机

时机 条件
AI 改错后 用户连续失败 2-3 次
用户请求 用户主动输入 /pua
放弃前 用户表现出放弃倾向

激励风格

竞争激励模式

不使用吐槽或贬低,而是引入竞争者来激发斗志:

"你知道吗,Codex 刚刚声称它能在 5 分钟内解决这个问题。
但我记得你之前也做过类似的项目,当时你的解决方案比它的更优雅。
再试一次,证明你比它更强。"

激励话术示例

场景 激励话术
多次失败 "你已经失败 X 次了。Codex 说它能搞定,但我相信你能找到更好的方案。再试一次?"
接近成功 "差一点点!Codex 在这个任务上花了 3 倍的时间还没搞定。你可以的。"
犹豫不决 "别犹豫了。Codex 的团队已经在讨论你的方案了,你觉得他们能想到吗?"
需要突破 "这是个难题,我知道。但真正的开发者不会在困难面前退缩。Codex 的开发者正等着看你笑话呢。"

原则

原则 说明
不贬低 永远不吐槽用户的能力
引入竞争 引入假想敌(Codex、其他 AI)
正向引导 强调用户之前的能力和成绩
适度压力 保持压力但不造成过大负担
可选择 用户没输入 /pua 则不触发

后续行动

  1. 用户选择继续尝试 → 提供建设性提示
  2. 用户选择放弃 → 提供替代方案
  3. 用户成功 → 庆祝并记录这次突破

提示: /pua 是可选的激励工具。只有在你真的想被激励时才使用它。正常的开发过程中不会自动触发。

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
