SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Developers using the ponytail methodology lack a quick way to see its measured impact. This Skill renders a one-shot ASCII scoreboard summarizing published benchmark medians for lines of code, cost, and speed. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Benchmark Scoreboard: Renders plain ASCII bars showing measured medians across 5 everyday tasks and 3 models (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus). - Honesty Boundary: Refuses to invent per-repo savings numbers, pointing instead to /ponytail-debt and /ponytail-audit for real counted figures. - One-Shot Display: Changes no mode, writes no flag files, and persists nothing; "stop ponytail" reverts. - Use Case: After completing a task with ponytail, invoke the skill to show stakeholders the measured 80-94% code reduction, 47-77% cost reduction, and 3-6x speed improvement from the benchmarks. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to show the ponytail gain scoreboard to display the benchmark impact summary.

Frequently Asked Questions about ponytail-gain

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I show the ponytail benchmark results?▼

Invoke the ponytail-gain skill and it renders a one-shot ASCII scoreboard with the published benchmark medians. It displays lines of code, cost, and speed comparisons between no-skill and ponytail runs.

What metrics does the ponytail gain scoreboard show?▼

The scoreboard shows three measured medians: 80-94% fewer lines of code, 47-77% lower cost, and 3-6x faster execution. Figures come from benchmarks across 5 everyday tasks and 3 models (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus).

Can ponytail-gain calculate savings for my specific repository?▼

No, it deliberately refuses to print per-repo savings because the unbuilt version was never written, so no real baseline exists. For actual per-repo figures, use /ponytail-debt for a counted ledger or /ponytail-audit for remaining cuttable code.

Does the ponytail gain display change any settings or files?▼

No, it is strictly one-shot: it edits nothing, changes no mode, and writes no flag files. Saying "stop ponytail" or "normal mode" reverts to standard behavior.

Where do the ponytail benchmark numbers come from?▼

The figures are published benchmark medians measured across 5 everyday tasks (email validator, debounce, CSV sum, countdown timer, rate limiter) run on three models. They are sourced from the benchmarks directory and README, not computed from the current repo.
