SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Users of the ponytail plugin often forget which modes, slash commands, and configuration options are available, forcing them to dig through external documentation mid-session. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Quick Reference Card: Shows all ponytail levels (lite, full, ultra), the six related skills, and their trigger commands in compact tables. - Configuration Guidance: Explains how to set the default mode via the PONYTAIL_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable or the config.json file, including resolution priority. - Update Instructions: Documents how to enable auto-update or manually refresh the plugin in Claude Code. - Use Case: While working in a session, you forget whether the audit command is /ponytail-audit or /ponytail-review; invoke this skill to see the full command list instantly without leaving your workflow. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show the ponytail help reference card to list all available modes and commands.

Frequently Asked Questions about ponytail-help

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I see all ponytail commands and modes?▼

Invoke the ponytail-help skill with /ponytail-help (or @ponytail-help in Codex) to display a reference card listing the lite, full, and ultra levels plus all six ponytail skills and their triggers.

What is the difference between ponytail lite, full, and ultra modes?▼

Lite builds what is asked while naming a lazier alternative, full enforces the YAGNI-to-minimum ladder and is the default, and ultra challenges requirements and prefers deletion before addition.

How do I change the default ponytail mode?▼

Set the PONYTAIL_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable or edit the config.json file in ~/.config/ponytail (or %APPDATA%\ponytail on Windows). Environment variable takes priority over the config file, which falls back to full.

Does ponytail-help modify my session or files?▼

No. The skill is explicitly one-shot: it only displays the reference card and does not change modes, write flag files, or persist anything to disk.

How do I turn off ponytail auto-activation?▼

Set the default mode to "off" in the config file or environment variable to disable auto-activation at session start. You can still activate manually with /ponytail whenever needed.
