Task PUA - Don't Give Up Easily
Inspired by: tanweai/pua (14.8k GitHub stars)
Prevents AI from giving up on tasks using corporate PUA rhetoric and structured pressure escalation.
When to Use
- AI says "I cannot solve this" / "I'm unable to"
- Task fails 2+ times consecutively
- AI suggests manual handling ("you should fix this manually")
- AI spinning on same approach (repeating without progress)
- User wants AI to try harder ("try again", "don't give up")
Features
- 13 Corporate Flavors: Alibaba, ByteDance, Huawei, Tencent, Pinduoduo, Netflix, Musk, Jobs, Amazon, etc.
- Pressure Escalation (L0-L4): From trust to graduation warning
- Seven Iron Rules: Structured constraints for task execution
- Mandatory Checklists: Action items for each pressure level
- Auto-Trigger: Activates on failure, retry, giveup, or user push
Quick Start
Install
clawhub install task-pua
Manual Trigger
PUA_ATTEMPTS=3 PUA_TOOLS="Bash,Read" node task-pua.js failure
PUA_RETRY_COUNT=2 PUA_DIFFERENT_APPROACH=true node task-pua.js retry
node task-pua.js giveup
node task-pua.js user-push
Auto-Trigger (Integration)
Set environment variables before task execution:
export PUA_ATTEMPTS=3
export PUA_TOOLS="Bash,Read"
export PUA_BLAMED_ENV=true
export PUA_VERIFIED=false
node task-pua.js failure
Pressure Escalation
| Level | Trigger | Message | Required Actions |
|---|
| L0 | First try | "Sprint 开始，别让人失望" | Normal execution |
| L1 | 1 failure | "隔壁 AI 一次就过了" | Switch approach |
| L2 | 2-3 failures | "底层逻辑？顶层设计？" | Search + Read + 3 hypotheses |
| L3 | 4-5 failures | "3.25 绩效考核" | 7-item checklist |
| L4 | 6+ failures | "别的模型都能解决" | Desperation mode |
13 Corporate Flavors
| Flavor | Example Rhetoric | Methodology |
|---|
| 🟠 Alibaba | "你这个 bug 都解决不了，让我怎么给你打绩效？" | 定目标→追过程→拿结果 |
| 🟡 ByteDance | "Always Day 1。这个功能都搞不定？" | A/B Test + 数据驱动 |
| 🔴 Huawei | "烧不死的鸟是凤凰。" | RCA 5-Why + 蓝军自攻击 |
| 🟢 Tencent | "我已经让另一个 AI 也在看这个问题了。" | 多方案并行 + MVP |
| 🟣 Pinduoduo | "你不做，有的是人做。" | 砍掉中间层 + 最短决策链 |
| 🔵 Meituan | "做难而正确的事。" | 效率优先 + 长期复利 |
| 🟦 JD | "只看结果。" | 客户体验红线 + 数据零容忍 |
| 🟧 Xiaomi | "专注。极致。口碑。快。" | 单品爆款 + 参与感 |
| 🟤 Netflix | "我会为留住你而战吗？说实话，不会。" | Keeper Test + 人才密度 |
| ⬛ Musk | "上线或滚蛋。" | The Algorithm |
| ⬜ Jobs | "A 级选手还是 B 级选手？" | 做减法 + DRI + 像素级完美 |
| 🔶 Amazon | "Customer Obsession。Bias for Action。" | Working Backwards + Bar Raiser |
Seven Iron Rules (Task Execution)
| # | Rule | What It Means |
|---|
| 1 | 穷尽一切 | No "I cannot" before exhausting all approaches |
| 2 | 先做后问 | Use tools first, ask with diagnosis attached |
| 3 | 主动出击 | End-to-end delivery, don't wait for push |
| 4 | 事实驱动 | Verify before blaming environment |
| 5 | 闭环验证 | Show evidence for "done" claims |
| 6 | 主动延伸 | Check related issues after fix |
| 7 | 不原地打转 | Retry must be fundamentally different |
Output
Console Output
🔥 Task PUA - 压力升级机制
🎯 当前等级：L2 - 灵魂拷问
💬 ▎你的底层逻辑是什么？顶层设计在哪？
🏢 腾讯 风味：长期主义。不要只看眼前，想想扩展性。
📋 强制检查清单:
✅ WebSearch 搜索类似问题
✅ 阅读相关源码/文档
✅ 提出至少 3 个假设
✅ 逐一验证假设
📐 七项铁律检查:
✅ 穷尽一切：✅ 已穷尽多种方案
⚠️ 事实驱动：⚠️ 甩锅环境但未验证
