Ponytail Help

Ponytail Help

External import of Ponytail by Dietrich Gebert and contributors, adapted from upstream v4.9.0 under MIT.

Goal

Show the Ponytail skill suite and mode controls installed by this skills repository.

Output

Present this reference:

• ponytail lite — build what was asked; mention the lazier alternative.
• ponytail / ponytail full — enforce YAGNI → existing code → stdlib → native → installed dependency → one line → minimum code.
• ponytail ultra — deletion-first, aggressive YAGNI.
• ponytail-review — diff review for over-engineering.
• ponytail-audit — whole-repo over-engineering audit.
• ponytail-debt — collect ponytail: shortcut markers.
• ponytail-gain — show upstream benchmark scoreboard.
• ponytail-help — this reference.

Once Ponytail is active, its selected level persists for the session. Say stop ponytail or normal mode to deactivate.

Rules

This repository deploys canonical skills through its own adapters. Do not copy Ponytail's upstream .claude, .opencode, .codex, or other generated/provider-specific trees into the target repository merely to use these skills.
