SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Users evaluating the ponytail approach lack a quick, honest summary of its measured impact, and risk confusing benchmark medians with per-repo savings. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Benchmark Scoreboard: Renders ASCII bar charts showing median reductions in lines of code (80-94%), cost (47-77%), and speed (3-6x) across 5 tasks and 3 models. - Honesty Boundary: Refuses to invent per-repo savings numbers, pointing instead to /ponytail-debt for counted ledger figures. - One-Shot Display: Changes no mode, writes no files, and persists nothing after rendering. - Use Case: A developer asks "what does ponytail save" and immediately sees the published benchmark medians without any side effects on their session. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show the ponytail gain scoreboard to see the benchmark median savings.

Frequently Asked Questions about ponytail-gain

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I see what ponytail saves on code and cost?▼

Invoke /ponytail-gain or ask "what does ponytail save" to render a one-shot ASCII scoreboard. It shows benchmark medians: 80-94% fewer lines of code, 47-77% lower cost, and 3-6x faster execution.

What benchmarks are the ponytail gain figures based on?▼

The figures are published medians from 5 everyday tasks (email validator, debounce, CSV sum, countdown timer, rate limiter) run across three models: Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus. They come from the benchmarks directory and README, not from your repository.

Can ponytail-gain show savings for my specific repository?▼

No, it deliberately refuses to print per-repo savings because the unbuilt version of your code was never written, so no real baseline exists. For actual per-repo figures, use /ponytail-debt, which maintains a counted ledger.

Does the ponytail gain scoreboard change my session or files?▼

No, it is strictly one-shot: it edits nothing, writes no flag files, and changes no mode. Saying "stop ponytail" or "normal mode" reverts any related behavior.

What are the limitations of benchmark median savings numbers?▼

Benchmark medians reflect controlled tasks and may not match your workload. They are measured across specific tasks and models, so treat them as indicative ranges rather than guaranteed per-project outcomes.
