ponytail-playbook

09

kevglynn/ai-dev-playbook

Cursor rule Cursor

Lazy senior dev implementation mode — the decision ladder for minimal, correct code. Activate with 'use ponytail-playbook' or when implementing feature/task beads where code minimalism matters. Defers to pragmatic-tdd.mdc for test discipline.

pragmatic-tdd

10

kevglynn/ai-dev-playbook

Git worktree isolation, shared beads DB, and worktree lifecycle for multi-branch development.
