SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Users of the ponytail plugin need a fast way to recall which modes, skills, and slash commands exist without reading full documentation or changing their current session state. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Command Reference Card: Shows all ponytail levels (lite, full, ultra), skills (ponytail, ponytail-review, ponytail-audit, ponytail-debt, ponytail-gain), and their triggers in one table. - Configuration Guidance: Explains how to set the default mode via the PONYTAIL_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable or a config.json file, and how to deactivate or update the plugin. - Use Case: A developer forgets whether the audit command is /ponytail-audit or /ponytail-check; invoking /ponytail-help prints the full reference card without altering the active mode. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show the ponytail help reference card by typing /ponytail-help or saying "ponytail help".

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 full reference card. It lists the three levels (lite, full, ultra), all six skills with their triggers, and deactivation and configuration instructions.

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 ladder of YAGNI, stdlib, native, one line, minimum, and is the default. Ultra is a YAGNI extremist mode that prefers deletion over addition and challenges requirements.

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

No, ponytail-help is a one-shot display that does not change the active mode, write flag files, or persist anything. Your current level stays in effect until you change it or the session ends.

How do I change the default ponytail mode?▼

Set the PONYTAIL_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable, or edit the config file at ~/.config/ponytail/config.json with a defaultMode value such as lite, ultra, or off. Resolution order is environment variable, then config file, then full.

Which hosts support the ponytail slash commands?▼

Claude Code and OpenCode use slash-command forms like /ponytail and /ponytail-review, with OpenCode shipping all six as slash commands. Codex uses the @-mention forms @ponytail, @ponytail-review, and @ponytail-help.
