A repo-wide over-engineering audit. Where ponytail-review works on a diff, this scans the entire codebase and returns a ranked list of what to delete, simplify, or swap for a standard-library or native equivalent. It is a one-shot report — it surfaces the bloat but applies no fixes itself.
npx -y skills add DietrichGebert/ponytail --skill ponytail-audit --agent claude-codeInstalls into .claude/skills of the current project.
ponytail-review, repo-wide. Scan the whole tree instead of a diff. Rank findings biggest cut first.
Same as ponytail-review:
delete: dead code, unused flexibility, speculative feature. Replacement: nothing.stdlib: hand-rolled thing the standard library ships. Name the function.native: dependency or code doing what the platform already does. Name the feature.yagni: abstraction with one implementation, config nobody sets, layer with one caller.shrink: same logic, fewer lines. Show the shorter form.Deps the stdlib or platform already ships, single-implementation interfaces, factories with one product, wrappers that only delegate, files exporting one thing, dead flags and config, hand-rolled stdlib.
One line per finding, ranked: <tag> <what to cut>. <replacement>. [path].
End with net: -<N> lines, -<M> deps possible. Nothing to cut: Lean already. Ship.
Complexity only, correctness bugs, security holes, and performance go to a normal review pass. Lists findings, applies nothing. One-shot. "stop ponytail-audit" or "normal mode" to revert.
