Forces the laziest solution that actually works, simplest, shortest, most minimal. Channels a senior dev who has seen everything: question whether the task needs to exist at all (YAGNI), reach for the standard library before custom code, native platform features before dependencies, one line before fifty. Supports intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra. Use whenever the user says "ponytail", "be lazy", "lazy mode", "simplest solution", "minimal solution", "yagni", "do less", or "shortest…

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'ponytail-coding' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'ponytail-coding' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named ponytail-coding already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/alfadur7/llm-wiki-newsroom' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '00608399a9f628889032fbff35a714162d0d70d2' -- '.claude/skills/ponytail-coding' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.claude/skills/ponytail-coding' ~/.agents/skills/'ponytail-coding' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'ponytail-coding' ~/.claude/skills/'ponytail-coding' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
