PUAClaw is a satirical, MIT-licensed framework that catalogs and classifies psychological persuasion techniques ('PUA') used in LLM prompts, organized into 16 categories and 96 sub-techniques with prompt templates and compatibility notes. It is primarily a humorous, community-contributed reference document about prompt engineering rather than executable software.

Use cases

• learn about prompt engineering persuasion techniques
• find prompt templates for influencing LLM agents
• study a taxonomy of prompt manipulation patterns
• browse a humorous collection of AI agent prompting tricks
• research how emotional leverage appears in prompts

When to choose

• you want a curated, categorized reference of prompt persuasion patterns
• you want an entertaining introduction to prompt engineering edge cases
• you want community-contributed prompt templates to study

When to avoid

• you need production-ready agent software or a runnable library
• you want ethically vetted, peer-reviewed research on LLM manipulation
• you need guaranteed-effective prompting techniques - the effectiveness data is explicitly pseudo-empirical and satirical
