Ponytail – make your AI agent think like the laziest senior dev in the room (github.com)
wiradikusuma 10 hours ago [-]
Real senior developers can do that because they have experience and can put that in context. E.g. <input type="date"> maybe fine for one scenario, but we might need a fancier one for another. I wonder if the skill takes PRD or the surrounding code into context to better emulate those developers?

A lot of it is about developing good judgement, IMO.

Oh the irony of this giant repo for a prompt. Is this the new leftpad?

My thoughts exactly. The whole thing is essentially just these rules, and a metric ton of boilerplate for specific plugin systems.

My own personal ponytail says this could just be this in a code block of a README

The repo is bigger than most of the code Ponytail would allow me to write.

I will be trying this ASAP. With the locally hosted models I've run and Gemeni's free no-login results, I've found they love to put in everything the skill here tells it not to. Today one in Python put a lambda that has no arguments to call a function that takes no arguments instead of just passing the function. There's at least one linter that checks for that but still it's a lot of babysitting to get good code.

In the spirit of the project, I can replace this with a "one-liner":

    Is there a simpler solution?

This joke repository is so offensive! I haven't even had a ponytail since 1996.
