About this Skill

Collect shortcut comments into a read-only ledger of deliberately deferred work. Ponytail combines a coding ruleset with focused review, audit, debt, benchmark and help workflows. Its OpenClaw files mirror the six canonical Skills; they are not extra tasks. Benchmark commands display the upstream project’s measurements, rather than a promised result for your codebase.

Why we picked it

Useful when generated changes grow beyond the task. Start with the review or audit workflow, then choose a focused coding mode; the debt ledger helps keep deferred work visible.

What it helps with

  • Collect shortcut comments into a read-only ledger of deliberately deferred work.

Setup and use

This terminal command installs the Codex plugin. In Claude Code, add the marketplace and install ponytail@ponytail as two separate /plugin prompts. Start a new session after setup.

Before you use it

  • Use the official plugin or the complete Skill folders. Lifecycle hooks require the host’s own trust setup; instruction-only adapters do not expose every command.
