ponytail-audit
Quality audit of a whole repo: bugs, security holes, what breaks under real load, risky code without tests, slow paths, and what to delete, merge or split. Ranked, each finding explained in plain English. One-shot report, changes nothing. Use for "audit this codebase", "review the whole repo", "find bloat", "what can I delete", /ponytail-audit.
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "dietrichgebert/ponytail:ponytail-audit" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/DietrichGebert/ponytail /tmp/ponytail && ln -s /tmp/ponytail/skills/ponytail-audit ~/.claude/skills/ponytail-audit
From README
Map first Audit what the user names: a folder, a package, or the whole repo. Nothing named: the whole repo. Read the README, the deploy and build config, the dependency list, the entry points (main, routes, handlers, jobs, CLI commands) and the tests. Find the expected load: one person running a script, or many users and processes at once. Judge scale against that, and say which load you assumed. Trace the main flows end to end: where data comes in, what is stored, what goes out. Read those paths fully: input from users, money, auth, data writes, background jobs, anything shared between processes. Big repo: go deep where a mistake costs the most, not file by file. Say which parts you did not read. Look for Bug: wrong result, crash, missed edge case (empty, zero, last item, rounding, time zones), callers that disagree with what a function returns, the same rule applied differently in two places.
