SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Users of the ponytail plugin need a fast way to recall its modes, slash commands, and configuration options without reading full documentation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Command Reference: Lists all ponytail levels (lite, full, ultra) and skills (ponytail, ponytail-review, ponytail-audit, ponytail-debt, ponytail-gain) with their triggers. - Configuration Guidance: Shows how to set the default mode via the PONYTAIL_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable or a config.json file. - Use Case: A developer forgets how to switch ponytail to ultra mode or deactivate it, invokes the help card, and immediately sees the correct command and config resolution order. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show the ponytail help reference card to see 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 /ponytail-help or say "ponytail help" to display the reference card listing all levels (lite, full, ultra) and skills with their triggers. It is a one-shot display that does not change your current mode.

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 ladder from YAGNI to minimum solution and is the default. Ultra is a YAGNI extremist mode that prefers deletion over addition and challenges requirements.

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) with a defaultMode value. Resolution order is environment variable, then config file, then full.

How do I turn off ponytail mode?▼

Say "stop ponytail" or "normal mode", or run /ponytail off. You can resume anytime with /ponytail, and setting defaultMode to "off" disables auto-activation at session start.

Does ponytail-help work with Codex and OpenCode?▼

Yes. Codex uses the @ponytail-help mention form, while Claude Code and OpenCode use the /ponytail-help slash command. OpenCode ships all six ponytail skills as slash commands.
