ponytail-gain

ponytail-gain is a command for Claude Code from Cyvid7-Darus10/claude-code-config. It costs 15 tokens per session (233 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of ponytail-gain, MIT.

A report command that displays benchmark results comparing ponytail with no-skill work across code size, cost, and speed. It shows the published medians as plain text and does not modify the project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to view the benchmark scoreboard for five everyday tasks across Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus models. It is for reporting published comparisons, not calculating live project savings.
Why use it?
It provides a quick summary of the supplied benchmark results without pretending they predict savings for the current repository. For repository-specific findings, it points to separate debt and audit commands.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ponytail-gain scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to ponytail-gain — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Show the ponytail gain scoreboard. One shot, change nothing: do not switch mode, write flag files, or persist anything. Render the published benchmark medians (5 everyday tasks; models Haiku, Sonnet, Opus; source benchmarks/ and the README) as plain ASCII bars: Lines of code, no-skill 100% vs ponytail 6-20% (down 80-94%); Cost, no-skill 100% vs ponytail 23-53% (down 47-77%); Speed, ponytail 3-6x faster. The bar length shows the measured range, the label carries the exact figure. These are benchmark medians, not this repo. NEVER print a per-repo savings number: the unbuilt version was never written, so there is no real baseline to subtract from in a live repo. For real per-repo figures, point to /ponytail-debt (the counted shortcut ledger) and /ponytail-audit (what is still cuttable). Report only.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
