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 the full documentation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Mode Reference: Shows the three ponytail levels (Lite, Full, Ultra) and what each changes in AI behavior. - Command Overview: Lists the ponytail, ponytail-review, and ponytail-help skills with their triggers across Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode. - Configuration Guide: Explains how to set the default mode via the PONYTAIL_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable or config file, plus update and deactivation instructions. - Use Case: You forgot whether /ponytail ultra or /ponytail lite enforces stricter YAGNI rules, so you invoke this skill to display the reference card instantly. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show the ponytail help reference card to see all modes, commands, and configuration options.

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 modes, all available skills, and configuration options.

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 acts as a YAGNI extremist that challenges requirements and prefers deletion over addition.

How do I change the default ponytail mode?▼

Set the PONYTAIL_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable or create a config.json file at ~/.config/ponytail/ with a defaultMode key. The environment variable takes priority over the config file, which takes priority over the built-in full default.

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. The displayed reference card documents the correct trigger syntax for each host.

How do I turn off ponytail mode?▼

Say "stop ponytail" or "normal mode" during a session, or use /ponytail off. To disable auto-activation permanently, set the default mode to "off" in the config file and activate manually when needed.
