Ponytail

Lazy senior dev mode for Claude Code. Forces the simplest, shortest solution that actually works: YAGNI, stdlib before custom code, native platform features before dependencies, one line before fifty — no unrequested abstractions.

What's in the box

• ponytail — the mode itself (levels: lite, full, ultra).
• ponytail-review — over-engineering review of the current diff.
• ponytail-audit — whole-repo over-engineering audit.
• ponytail-debt — harvest ponytail: comments into a debt ledger.
• ponytail-gain — measured-impact scoreboard from the benchmarks.
• ponytail-help — quick-reference card.
• activate (setup) — SessionStart/SubagentStart/UserPromptSubmit hooks that keep ponytail mode on every turn; configurable via PONYTAIL_DEFAULT_MODE.
