ponytail-gain
Show ponytail's measured savings (code, cost, speed) from the benchmark. One-shot display. Use for /ponytail-gain, "what does ponytail save", "ponytail impact".
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "dietrichgebert/ponytail:ponytail-gain" 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-gain ~/.claude/skills/ponytail-gainFrom README
Ponytail Gain Display this scoreboard when invoked. One-shot: do NOT change mode, write flag files, or persist anything. The figures are the published agentic benchmark of Ponytail 5: headless Claude Code (Opus 5.5, default effort) on 39 tasks (feature tickets in a real FastAPI + React repo, bug fixes, security and privacy cases, small apps), 5 runs each, against the same agent without the skill. 18 of the tasks have hidden checks for correctness and safety. Each figure is the geometric mean of the per-task medians. They are measured, not computed from the current repo. Source: benchmarks/results/2026-10-07-agentic.md and the README. Scoreboard Render plain ASCII bars. The bar length shows ponytail as a share of the no-skill baseline; the label carries the exact figure: Honesty boundary These are benchmark averages, not this repo.
