Ponytail
Agent skill pack that pushes coding agents toward the laziest senior-dev habits: prefer not writing code you don't need.
Test results
Run with our skill harness: the skill alone in a throwaway project, invoked by name, and the real output file checked. Skills are tested in Claude Code and Cursor only so far.
