Ponytail, the Claude Code Plugin With 188k Stars, Makes Agents Delete Before They Write
nevrekaraishwa2 · x · 2026-11-11
Ponytail, a GitHub project now at 188k stars and 10.5k forks, makes your AI agent "think like the laziest senior dev in the room — the best code is the code you never wrote."
- Installs into Claude Code with two commands: /plugin marketplace add DietrichGebert/ponytail, then /plugin install ponytail@ponytail
- /ponytail-review reads beyond the diff to flag what will actually break; /ponytail-audit ranks the whole repo and says "fix this first"
- Ships rules/plugins for many tools (Cursor, Codex, Devin, Windsurf, Kimi and more), MIT licensed
