Repository context

DietrichGebert/ponytail

MIT-licensed Claude Code plugin and portable Agent Skill that applies a YAGNI-first decision ladder, persistent mode controls, lifecycle-hook injection, review and audit commands, and an optional read-only MCP interface to steer coding agents toward the smallest correct implementation without removing stated safety, validation, accessibility, or data-loss guards.
