Ponytail lazy senior dev mode: 6 skills adapted from DietrichGebert/ponytail.
dsh-ponytail brings 'Ponytail', the lazy-senior-dev coding style, to DeepSeek Harness -- 6 skills adapted from DietrichGebert/ponytail (the ~76k-star 'laziest solution that actually works' style). Tell the agent 'use ponytail mode for this code' or let it adopt the style: YAGNI -> reuse existing code -> standard library -> native platform features -> one line -> minimal code, with lite/full (default)/ultra intensity levels and 'stop ponytail' to exit. The six skills are ponytail (core mode), ponytail-review (over-engineering-only review), ponytail-audit (repo-wide audit), ponytail-debt (harvests ponytail: comments into a debt ledger), ponytail-gain (measured-impact scoreboard) and ponytail-help.
