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 - One-Shot Reference Card: Renders a compact table of ponytail levels (lite, full, ultra), all six skills, and their triggers without changing mode or persisting state. - Configuration Guidance: Shows how to set the default mode via the PONYTAIL_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable or the config.json file, including resolution priority. - Update Instructions: Explains how to enable auto-update or manually refresh the plugin in Claude Code and other hosts. - Use Case: A developer types "/ponytail-help" mid-session to recall the difference between ponytail-review and ponytail-audit before running one. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show the ponytail help card by typing /ponytail-help or saying "what ponytail commands are available".

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?▼

Type /ponytail-help or ask "what ponytail commands" to display the reference card. It lists the three levels (lite, full, ultra), all six skills with their triggers, and deactivation phrases in one view.

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

Lite builds what is asked and names a lazier alternative in one line. Full enforces the YAGNI ladder from stdlib to minimum code and is the default. Ultra challenges requirements and prefers deletion before addition.

How do I change the default ponytail mode?▼

Set the PONYTAIL_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable, which takes highest priority, or edit the config.json file in ~/.config/ponytail with a defaultMode value. Setting it to off disables auto-activation at session start.

Does ponytail-help change my current mode or settings?▼

No, ponytail-help is a one-shot display that does not change mode, write flag files, or persist anything. Your active level stays exactly as it was before invoking the card.

How do I turn off ponytail mode during a session?▼

Say "stop ponytail" or "normal mode", or run /ponytail off. You can resume anytime with /ponytail, and the chosen level sticks until changed or the session ends.
