ponytail-debt
From the author
Harvest every `ponytail:` comment in the codebase into a debt ledger, so the deliberate shortcuts and deferrals ponytail leaves behind get tracked instead of rotting into "later means never". Use when the user says "ponytail debt", "/ponytail-debt", "what did ponytail defer", "list the shortcuts", "ponytail ledger", or "what did we mark to do later". One-shot report, changes nothing.

Use for "audit this codebase", "review the whole repo", "find bloat", "what can I delete", /ponytail-audit.Security★ 179.8K
- ponytail-gainDietrichGebert/ponytailShow ponytail's measured savings (code, cost, speed) from the benchmark. One-shot display. Use for /ponytail-gain, "what does ponytail save", "ponytail impact".Engineering★ 179.8K
- ponytail-helpDietrichGebert/ponytailQuick reference for ponytail levels, skills and commands. One-shot display. Use for /ponytail-help, "ponytail help", "how do I use ponytail".Other★ 179.8K
- ponytail-lazy-senior-devGulajavaMinistudio/awesome-copilot-idApplies the "lazy senior developer" mindset. Use this skill whenever generating, modifying, reviewing code, or fixing bugs to prioritize code reuse, minimalism, YAGNI principles, and root-cause fixes. Also use whenever the user says "ponytail", "be lazy", "lazy mode", "simplest solution", "minimal solution", "yagni", "do less", or "shortest path". Supports intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra. Also includes sub-modes for over-engineering review (ponytail-review), repo-wide audit (ponytail-audit), and debt tracking (ponytail-debt).Engineering★ 91
- ponytail-codingalfadur7/llm-wiki-newsroomForces the laziest solution that actually works, simplest, shortest, most minimal. Channels a senior dev who has seen everything: question whether the task needs to exist at all (YAGNI), reach for the standard library before custom code, native platform features before dependencies, one line before fifty. Supports intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra. Use whenever the user says "ponytail", "be lazy", "lazy mode", "simplest solution", "minimal solution", "yagni", "do less", or "shortest path", and whenever they complain about over-engineering, bloat, boilerplate, or unnecessary dependencies.Engineering★ 173
- ponytail-reviewDietrichGebert/ponytailQuality review of a change: is the logic right, is it safe, does it hold under real load, is risky code tested, is it fast enough, and is every line needed. Reads the connected code, not only the diff. Each finding is explained in plain English. Use for "review this", "code review", "review the last commit", "review my PR", "is this over-engineered", /ponytail-review.Engineering★ 179.8K
