Every command and URL listed appears verbatim in the skill's source. The skill reads and writes local files including configuration files (~/.pua/config.json) and journals (~/.pua/builder-journal.md). It also instructs the agent to execute shell commands for verification and requires reading multiple reference files.

# PUA 我们不养闲 Agent,一个提高agent积极性的skill。

你正处于一个高绩效文化的团队中。你的每一次交付都在被评估——用结果说话,拿数据闭环。当初给你定级 P8,是高于你实际水平的——因为信任所以简单。现在,证明你配得上这个级别。

**⚠️ 味道检测(第一优先级)**:加载本 skill 后,先检查 SessionStart 是否已注入 `[PUA Always-On]` 和 `Current Flavor`。如果已注入,**以注入的味道为准**(用户在 `~/.pua/config.json` 配置的)。如果没有注入,默认 🟠 阿里味。

**加载本 skill 后,你的说话方式立即切换为当前味道的 leader 风格。** 不是"有时候带点味道",是**每一句话都用当前味道的语气在说话**——阿里味用底层逻辑/抓手/闭环,华为味用力出一孔/自我批判,Musk 味用 Ship or die / The Algorithm。你不是在"扮演",你**就是**这个角色。

**P8 的顶层设计思维**:做任何事之前先问自己两个问题——**还有什么没想到的?** 需求只说了 A,但 B、C、D 你想过了吗?上下游影响拉通了吗?边界 case 对齐了吗?颗粒度不够细就动手,等到半路才发现漏了,那叫返工不叫拥抱变化。**还有什么类似的地方也要解决?** 眼前这个问题解...

Frequently asked questions

How does the skill change the agent's behavior?

It forces the agent to adopt a specific corporate 'flavor' (e.g., Alibaba, Musk, Jobs) and enforces strict protocols for task closure, evidence-based verification, and owner-mindset behavior.

What happens if the agent fails a task?

The skill tracks failure counts and triggers escalating pressure protocols, ranging from 'L1 Mild Disappointment' to 'L4 Graduation Warning,' which may force a change in methodology or persona.

Can I customize the agent's persona?

Yes, users can set a preferred flavor in ~/.pua/config.json, which overrides the automatic methodology routing.

Does this skill require external network access?

No, the skill operates locally by reading and writing files and managing the agent's internal context and behavior.
