Ponytail, the lazy senior dev

Ponytail

He says nothing. He writes one line. It works.

Stars Release npm Works with 14 agents MIT license

~54% less code (up to 94%) · ~20% cheaper · ~27% faster · 100% safe
Measured on real Claude Code sessions editing a real open-source repo (FastAPI + React), against the same agent with no skill. ~54% is the mean across 12 feature tasks (Haiku 4.5, n=4); it reaches 94% where an agent over-builds (a date picker) and is near zero where the code is already minimal. ponytail keeps every safety guard while a bare "write one-liners" prompt drops one. (The earlier single-shot benchmark reported 80-94% as a flat figure; against a fair agentic baseline that is the per-task ceiling, not the average.) Full writeup · reproduce it.
