From README
Ponytail Help Display this reference card when invoked. One-shot, do NOT change mode, write flag files, or persist anything. Levels | Level | Trigger | What change | |-------|---------|-------------| | Lite | /ponytail lite | Build what was asked, name the smaller option in one line. | | Full | /ponytail | The smallest complete change, a check where the logic needs one, and a reply that names what was skipped and any risk. Default. | | Ultra | /ponytail ultra | Also questions the request and pushes back before building. | Level sticks until changed or session end. Skills | Skill | Trigger | What it does | |-------|---------|--------------| | ponytail | /ponytail | Lazy mode itself: least new code, clear replies that name skipped work and risks. | | ponytail-review | /ponytail-review | Quality review of a diff: bugs, security, load, missing tests, speed, what to cut. Each finding says what goes wrong and how to fix it.
