Community / AGENT SKILL
ponytail
0
Forces the laziest solution that actually works, simplest, shortest, most minimal. Channels a senior dev who has seen everything: question whether the task needs to exist at all (YAGNI), reach for the standard library before custom code, native platform features before dependencies, one line before fifty. Supports intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra. Use on ANY coding task: writing, adding, refactoring, fixing, reviewing, or designing code, and choosing libraries or dependencies. Also use whenever the user says "ponytail", "be lazy", "lazy mode", "simplest solution", "minimal solution", "yagni", "do less", or "shortest path", or complains about over-engineering, bloat, boilerplate, or unnecessary dependencies. Do NOT use for non-coding requests (general knowledge, prose, translation, summaries, recipes).
Understand the trade-offs.

Original instructions from the publisher’s SKILL.md
This skill is the git submodule file `.cursor/vendor/ponytail/skills/ponytail/SKILL.md`. Read that file now and follow it in full. This stub exists so Cursor discovers the skill under `.cursor/skills/ponytail/`. Update: `git submodule update --remote` on the vendor checkout, then commit the new pin.
