Launched this week
Ponytail is a plugin that makes coding agents write the least code that works. Before adding anything, it checks whether the change is needed, already exists, or can use the stdlib or a native API. Same behavior, fewer lines to own.
love this skill, always forget to use it

Legendary skills 🔥 You know, I had redone a lot of code with this skill in Resume Matcher.
The best code is the one you've not written 😂

Yeah, I'm deeply in love with this plugin.
Congrats on the launch! Been using Ponytail with Claude and really like how it keeps the agent focused, lean, and less prone to overbuilding.

this is such a simple, obviously-needed rule that I'm surprised it doesn't already exist everywhere. curious about the false-positive side though - when the "existing stdlib function" is a near-match but not exact (different edge case handling, slightly different return type), does ponytail ever push the agent to force-fit the wrong tool just to avoid writing a few new lines, or does it know when "reuse" would actually introduce a subtler bug than writing fresh code would?
