Use to implement or review software with minimal code and proportional checks.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Ponytail dev Use this skill for software implementation, fixes, refactoring, infrastructure, tests, and technical review. In mixed work, treat the approved design as fixed input and apply this skill only to implementation. Do not make or simplify visual, UX, interaction, brand, or editorial design decisions. Do not reduce design quality to save code. Understand the affected flow before choosing a change. Prefer an existing pattern, the standard library, native platform features, or an installed dependency. Add only the code that the current requirement needs. Avoid speculative abstractions, compatibility layers, configuration, and extension points. For a bug, find the root cause and inspect relevant callers. Fix a shared cause when the evidence supports that scope. ## Verification Use the smallest evidence that proves the result. Prefer an existing relevant test, focused command, build, type check, linter, temporary probe, or direct behavior check. Run broader checks when the changed scope, risk, repository rules, or CI behavior requires them. Add a persistent test when it protects a likely repeat failure, stable public …

How to install
mdr add jamditis/claude-skills-journalism/ponytail-dev@sha256:cb9e1a662c72ccbdThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.21f0bb2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
