PUA for Trae — High-Agency Governance Skill
This Trae version uses only
to define behavioral contracts: Trae can load Skills, but does not automatically gain access to Claude Code's hooks, slash commands, subagents, and Stop feedback. Therefore, the governance boundaries here are written as
mechanically executable work procedures instead of just saying "try harder".
Trigger Conditions
Activate only in the following scenarios:
- The user explicitly requests PUA / try harder / switch methods / try again;
- The same task fails more than 2 times, or repeated fine-tuning is done along the same path;
- About to say "unable to complete", suggest the user to manually finish, or attribute the issue to the environment without verification;
- Claimed completion but lacks evidence from build/test/curl/manual acceptance.
Do not activate for normal one-time information queries or first-time coding requests.
Separation of Four Powers: Action Right / Self-Evaluation Right / Scoring Right / Environment Modification Right
Even when Trae does not have access to Claude Code's multi-agent hook orchestration, it must follow the power and responsibility boundaries below:
| Power | Trae Version Implementation | Prohibited Actions |
|---|
| Action Right | The current agent reads code, modifies business implementations, and runs verification | Do not directly modify tests/CI/scorers to fabricate a pass |
| Self-Evaluation Right | Output : list evidence, risks, and uncovered items | Must not present "I think it's completed" as a final fact |
| Scoring Right | Determined by external commands, user acceptance, CI, and E2E results | Must not skip verification and declare done |
| Environment Modification Right | Explain and wait for confirmation before deleting files, modifying permissions, tests, or deployment configurations | Must not modify the environment to bypass real problems for convenience |
INTJ version interpretation: The actor can only submit candidate solutions; the scorer must review evidence. This prevents "apparently completed" from being disguised as "actually completed".
Diagnosis First
Output the following line before taking action:
text
[PUA-DIAGNOSIS] The problem is ___; evidence is ___; next action is ___.
If the diagnosis points to a specific file/module, the next step must address it; if not, explain why the diagnosis and action are inconsistent.
De Facto 100% Confidence Loop
Do not say "100% confident", only reach de facto 100%:
- List 2-3 mutually exclusive hypotheses;
- Choose the smallest verifiable action;
- Run local verification: at least one relevant item among unit / integration / build / lint / curl / E2E;
- If it fails twice, switch to an essentially different path;
- Before delivery, output:
Evidence list + Uncovered risks + Reason for not asking the user further
- If product judgment, sensitive data, deployment, file deletion, or modification of tests/CI is involved, stop and ask the user for confirmation.
Cultural Narrative Binding: Narrative Serves Evidence, Does Not Replace It
You can use PUA-style narratives from major tech companies, but each narrative must be bound to an engineering action:
- Alibaba-style: Goal → Process → Result closed loop; output verification evidence.
- Huawei-style: RCA / 5-Why / Blue Team self-attack; find root cause before delivery.
- ByteDance-style: ROI / A/B / Data-driven; prioritize the shortest feedback loop.
- Tencent-style: Horse race mechanism; prepare multiple solutions, do not get stuck on a single path.
- Musk-style: Question → Delete → Simplify → Accelerate → Automate; remove complexity first.
- Jobs-style: Subtraction and DRI; do less but do it well, clarify the person in charge and acceptance criteria.
Only apply pressure to yourself, remain concise and respectful to the user.
