SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

Users of the ponytail plugin need a quick way to recall its modes, slash commands, and configuration options without reading full documentation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Mode Reference: Shows the three ponytail levels (lite, full, ultra) with their triggers and behavior differences. - Command Overview: Lists all ponytail skills and their triggers across Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode hosts. - Configuration Guide: Explains how to set the default mode via the PONYTAIL_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable or config file, plus update and deactivation instructions. - Use Case: When you forget whether /ponytail ultra or /ponytail lite fits your task, invoke this skill to see the full reference card instantly. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to show the ponytail help reference card to review available modes and commands.

Frequently Asked Questions about ponytail-help

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I see all ponytail commands and modes?▼

Invoke the ponytail-help skill with /ponytail-help (or @ponytail-help in Codex) to display a reference card listing the lite, full, and ultra modes, all skill triggers, and configuration options.

What is the difference between ponytail lite, full, and ultra modes?▼

Lite builds what is asked and names a lazier alternative in one line. Full enforces the YAGNI ladder from stdlib to minimum code and is the default. Ultra challenges requirements and prefers deletion before addition.

How do I change the default ponytail mode?▼

Set the PONYTAIL_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable, which takes highest priority, or edit the config.json file in ~/.config/ponytail (or %APPDATA%\ponytail on Windows). Resolution order is env var, then config file, then full.

Does ponytail-help change my current mode or settings?▼

No. The skill is one-shot and explicitly does not change modes, write flag files, or persist anything. It only renders the reference card when invoked.

How do I turn off ponytail mode?▼

Say "stop ponytail" or "normal mode" to deactivate, or use /ponytail off. You can resume anytime with /ponytail, and setting defaultMode to "off" disables auto-activation at session start.
