ponytail-audit

95 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a security skill usually runs scanners and checks websites.

Whole-repo audit for over-engineering. Like ponytail-review, but scans the entire codebase instead of a diff: a ranked list of what to delete, simplify, or replace with stdlib/native equivalents. Use when the user says "audit this codebase", "audit for over-engineering", "what can I delete from this repo", "find bloat", "ponytail-audit", or "/ponytail-audit". One-shot report, does not apply fixes.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'ponytail-audit' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'ponytail-audit' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named ponytail-audit already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '70b6a3a3a7c774671e45af646306e1448baf0511' -- 'plugins/mirkobozzetto/espresso/skills/ponytail-audit' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/mirkobozzetto/espresso/skills/ponytail-audit' ~/.agents/skills/'ponytail-audit' && 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-audit' ~/.claude/skills/'ponytail-audit' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
