description	Lazy senior-dev mode — the seven-rung ladder that decides whether to write code at all, whether to reuse code that already exists, and whether to prefer stdlib/platform/installed deps over a new dependency. Use before writing any code, every PR diff, every fix, every feature. Source attribution included.

Ponytail — pointer file (your-project.com repo-local)

This is a repo-local pointer file. The canonical user-scope skill lives at ~/.claude/skills/ponytail/SKILL.md (Codex mirror at ~/.codex/skills/ponytail/SKILL.md). Source of truth: https://github.com/DietrichGebert/ponytail/blob/main/.github/copilot-instructions.md.

Why this repo keeps a copy: keeps /code-standards review lanes discoverable when running from a clean checkout without user-scope installed. When in doubt, the user-scope copy wins. Keep this file in sync with the user-scope source.
