Manage GitLab merge requests, issues, and pipelines from the command line using the glab CLI. Use when the user asks about GitLab MRs, issues, pipelines, labels, milestones, or needs to manage project work items via the command line.
Manage Bitbucket pull requests, issues, and repositories from the command line using the bkt CLI. Use when the user asks about Bitbucket PRs, issues, repos, pipelines, or needs to manage project work items via the command line.
Show ponytail's measured impact as a compact scoreboard: less code, less cost, more speed, from the benchmark medians. One-shot display, not a persistent mode, and not a per-repo number. Trigger: /ponytail-gain, "ponytail gain", "what does ponytail save", "show ponytail impact", "ponytail scoreboard".
Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing, before committing or creating PRs - requires running verification commands and confirming output before making any success claims; evidence before assertions always
Build a compact mental model of recent project activity before any non-trivial task. Use proactively at the start of a session and before any investigation, planning, refactor, or multi-file change. Skip only for trivial fixes (typos, isolated docs, version bumps, mechanical refactors with a known target).
Interact with Jira from the command line using the official Atlassian CLI (acli) to create, search, view, edit, and transition work items, manage sprints and boards, and perform common Jira workflows. Use when the user asks about Jira tasks, tickets, issues, sprints, or needs to manage project work items.

| description | Quick-reference card for all ponytail modes, skills, and commands. One-shot display, not a persistent mode. Trigger: /ponytail-help, "ponytail help", "what ponytail commands", "how do I use ponytail". |
Display this reference card when invoked. One-shot, do NOT change mode, write flag files, or persist anything.
| Level | Trigger | What change |
|---|---|---|
| Lite | /ponytail lite | Build what's asked, name the lazier alternative in one line. |
| Full | /ponytail | The ladder enforced: YAGNI → stdlib → native → one line → minimum. Default. |
| Ultra | /ponytail ultra | YAGNI extremist. Deletion before addition. Challenges requirements before building. |
Level sticks until changed or session end.
| Skill | Trigger | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| ponytail | /ponytail | Lazy mode itself. Simplest solution that works. |
| ponytail-audit | /ponytail-audit | Whole-repo over-engineering audit. |
| ponytail-debt | /ponytail-debt | Harvest ponytail: comments into a tracked ledger. |
| ponytail-review | /ponytail-review | Over-engineering review: L42: yagni: factory, one product. Inline. |
| ponytail-gain | /ponytail-gain | Measured-impact scoreboard: less code, less cost, more speed. |
| ponytail-help | /ponytail-help | This card. |
Codex uses @ponytail, @ponytail-review, and @ponytail-help; Claude Code
and OpenCode use the slash-command forms above. OpenCode ships all six slash
commands (/ponytail, /ponytail-audit, /ponytail-debt, /ponytail-review,
/ponytail-gain, /ponytail-help).
Say "stop ponytail" or "normal mode". Resume anytime with /ponytail.
/ponytail off also works.
Default mode = full, auto-active every session. Change it:
Environment variable (highest priority):
export PONYTAIL_DEFAULT_MODE=ultra
Config file (~/.config/ponytail/config.json, Windows: %APPDATA%\ponytail\config.json):
{ "defaultMode": "lite" }
Set "off" to disable auto-activation on session start, activate manually
with /ponytail when wanted.
Resolution: env var > config file > full.
This toolkit ships ponytail as templates, so updating is the same as updating the
ai-assisted-dev-toolkit: pull the latest version of this repo. If you installed
ponytail separately as a Claude Code plugin, use /plugin marketplace update ponytail then /reload-plugins. Other hosts use their own update flow — see
the host's documentation.
