wtf is pohuy?

Pohuy is a plugin for AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Windsurf that changes how the assistant talks. Instead of formal, polite English explanations, it makes the assistant respond using casual, blunt, profanity laced Russian slang. The project's pitch is that a handful of common vulgar root words in Russian can express complex engineering situations more quickly and with more personality than a long polite sentence in English. The README shows several before and after examples: a normal agent explaining that a deployment failed because an environment variable was empty becomes a short, informal line using slang for a crash, and a calm description of a smooth rebase becomes a blunt exclamation. The tone throughout is meant to sound like a frustrated, experienced developer talking to a teammate, not a customer support bot. The tool works as an installable skill or plugin. For Claude Code, it is added through a plugin marketplace command. For other tools such as Cursor, Codex, and Windsurf, it installs through a skills registry command. Once installed, a user can turn the mode on with a slash command or a casual phrase, and turn it back off by asking for normal mode. There are three intensity levels to choose from, ranging from a milder version to a much more intense one, and the choice persists for the rest of the session. The README includes a reference table mapping ten stages of project outcomes, from a clean success to a full outage, to different sets of slang phrases, so the tone escalates with the seriousness of the situation rather than staying flat. It also documents a word list of more than seventy idioms with explanations of what each one is meant to convey in an engineering context, stored in a reference file within the project. This is a novelty and personality layer rather than a technical tool: it does not change what an AI agent can do, only how it phrases what it says. It is explicitly marked 18+ due to its heavy use of profanity, and it credits an earlier, similarly themed English language project called Caveman as inspiration.
