Makes your AI agent think like the laziest senior dev in the room. The best code is the code you never wrote.
Ponytail is a set of instructions and extensions that guides AI coding agents toward smaller, simpler code changes while retaining safety checks. It is intended for developers using agents such as Claude Code, and the catalogue entries are its skills, instructions, plugin, and rule.
This repository also configures its own agents. See what ponytail tells them →
