A new plugin called "pua" has been released to address common AI agent "slacking" behaviors, such as making excuses or repeatedly failing tasks. Pua identifies five distinct patterns of AI inaction and employs a tiered pressure system, from "Disappointment" to "Graduation Warning," to push the AI to exhaust all possible solutions. The plugin offers various "flavors" that mimic the corporate cultures of major tech companies, providing tailored rhetoric and problem-solving methodologies to motivate AI agents like Claude Code and OpenAI Codex CLI.
