ponytail-audit-lite

ponytail-audit-lite is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mushroomTW/MushroomTW-Skills. It costs 24 tokens per session (555 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository-wide audit that looks for code and configuration that can be removed or shortened. A repository is the version-controlled project folder containing the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review an entire codebase and produce a ranked table of simplification findings, suggested replacements, file paths, and line-count changes.
Why use it?
It identifies dead code, unnecessary abstractions, duplicate platform features, and unused configuration that make a project harder to maintain.

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-audit-lite 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Repo-wide. Scan the whole tree instead of a diff. Rank findings biggest cut first. Skip generated, vendored, and dependency directories (node_modules/, vendor/, build output) and anything .gitignore excludes.

Tags

  • delete: dead code, unused flexibility, speculative feature. Replacement: nothing.
  • stdlib: hand-rolled thing the standard library ships. Name the function.
  • native: dependency or code doing what the platform already does. Name the feature.
  • yagni: abstraction with one implementation, config nobody sets, layer with one caller.
  • shrink: same logic, fewer lines. Show the shorter form.

Hunt

Deps the stdlib or platform already ships, single-implementation interfaces, factories with one product, wrappers that only delegate, files exporting one thing, dead flags and config, hand-rolled stdlib.

Before tagging anything delete: or yagni:, search the whole tree for references, including string names, config, and build files. Code reached by reflection, dependency injection, framework conventions, an entry point, or a published library's public API is not dead: leave it out.

Output

A Markdown table, one row per finding, ranked biggest cut first:

| # | Tag | Cut | Replacement | Path |
|---|-----|-----|-------------|------|
| 1 | `yagni:` | <what to cut> | <replacement> | `<path>` |

Escape | inside cells as \|. Keep every cell to one line: a shrink: row says shorter form in #<n> in Replacement, and the shorter form goes below the table as a fenced code block headed #<n>. Past 20 findings, keep the 20 biggest and say how many were left out. Then end with net: -<N> lines, -<M> deps possible. N is the sum of the lines every finding removes, the ones left out of the table included, counted from the files, not guessed; M counts the dependencies they remove. Nothing to cut: no table, just Lean already. Ship.

Boundaries

Scope: over-engineering and complexity only. Correctness bugs, security holes, and performance are explicitly out of scope. Route them to a normal review pass. Lists findings, applies nothing. One-shot.

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
