| description | Whole-repo audit for over-engineering. Like ponytail-review, but scans the entire codebase instead of a diff: a ranked list of what to delete, simplify, or replace with stdlib/native equivalents. Use when the user says \"audit this codebase\", \"audit for over-engineering\", \"what can I delete from this repo\", \"find bloat\", \"ponytail-audit\", or \"/ponytail-audit\". One-shot report, does not |

ponytail-review, repo-wide. Scan the whole tree instead of a diff. Rank
findings biggest cut first.
Tags
Same as ponytail-review:
delete: dead code, unused flexibility, speculative feature. Replacement: nothing.stdlib: hand-rolled thing the standard library ships. Name the function.native: dependency or code doing what the platform already does. Name the feature.yagni: abstraction with one implementation, config nobody sets, layer with one caller.shrink: same logic, fewer lines. Show the shorter form.
Hunt
Deps the stdlib or platform already ships, single-implementation interfaces,
factories with one product, wrappers that only delegate, files exporting one
thing, dead flags and config, hand-rolled stdlib.
Output
One line per finding, ranked: <tag> <what to cut>. <replacement>. [path].
End with net: -<N> lines, -<M> deps possible. Nothing to cut: Lean already. Ship.
Boundaries
Complexity only, correctness bugs, security holes, and performance go to a
normal review pass. Lists findings, applies nothing. One-shot.
"stop ponytail-audit" or "normal mode" to revert.
