SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Users of the ponytail plugin often forget which modes, slash commands, and configuration options are available, forcing them to dig through external documentation mid-session. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Command Reference Card: Shows all ponytail levels (lite, full, ultra), the six skills, and their triggers in compact tables. - Configuration Guidance: Explains how to set the default mode via the PONYTAIL_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable or the config.json file, including resolution priority. - Update Instructions: Covers enabling auto-update through the /plugin marketplace and manual refresh commands. - Use Case: You just installed ponytail and cannot remember whether the audit command is /ponytail-audit or /ponytail-review; invoke this skill to see the full reference card instantly without leaving your session. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show the ponytail help reference card to list all available modes, skills, 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 /ponytail-help or say "ponytail help" to display the reference card. It lists the three levels (lite, full, ultra), all six skills with their triggers, and deactivation commands in one view.

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

Lite builds what is asked and names the 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, or edit config.json in ~/.config/ponytail (or %APPDATA%\ponytail on Windows) with a defaultMode value. Environment variable takes priority over the config file, which takes priority over the built-in full default.

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

No, ponytail-help is a one-shot display that only shows the reference card. It does not change modes, write flag files, or persist anything, so your current configuration remains untouched.

How do I turn off ponytail mode?▼

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