Agent skills
Ponytail
A reusable simplicity review aimed at reducing code and dependencies while preserving required safeguards.
Overview
Research summary
Ponytail packages a simplicity-focused development workflow for Claude Code and other coding agents. Its instructions encourage checking existing code and platform features before adding dependencies or abstractions. Agent integrations and commands help apply that workflow; the project’s reported benchmark savings depend on its tasks and baseline.
