Based on SOC occupation classification
Resolve short approval against the latest checkpoint. Use for "lgtm", "looks good", "approved", or "go ahead"; not risky or review feedback.
Re-check a prior assistant claim. Use when user says "nack", "not convinced", or "check again"; not for review feedback.
UI/UX routing front door. Use as the front door for broad or ambiguous UI/UX work that needs the right build, redesign, audit, design-system, accessibility, or browser specialist. Do not use when the user already names a narrower UI skill.
Proposes UI Vault resource upgrades for a selected webpage. Use when the user asks for libraries, assets, effects, or inspiration for an existing page. Do not use for implementation or greenfield design.
Upload, list, or delete files with s3upload and return expiring Azure links. Use for configured temporary Azure storage; not for S3 or cloud setup.
Ship local Git changes by inspecting, polishing, validating, split-committing, and pushing. Use for commit, push, ship, delivery audit, or delivery blockers; not deploys or releases.

Shared package contract: follow skills/shared/COMMON-CONTRACT.md unless this skill's stricter output rules override it.
Display this scoreboard when invoked. One-shot: do NOT change mode, write flag files, or persist anything.
The figures are the published benchmark medians (5 everyday tasks: email
validator, debounce, CSV sum, countdown timer, rate limiter; three models:
Haiku, Sonnet, Opus). They are measured, not computed from the current repo.
Source: benchmarks/ and the README.
Render plain ASCII bars. The bar length shows the measured range; the label carries the exact figure:

This repo: /ponytail-debt (shortcuts you deferred)
/ponytail-audit (what's still cuttable)
These are benchmark medians, not this repo. NEVER print a per-repo savings
number ("you saved X lines/tokens here"): the unbuilt version was never
written, so there is no real baseline to subtract from in a live repo. The
only real per-repo figures come from /ponytail-debt (a counted ledger), and
this card points there instead of inventing one.
One-shot display. Edits nothing, changes no mode. "stop ponytail" or "normal mode": revert.
