Quick reference for ponytail's modes, skills, and commands. One-shot display.
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 Help Display this reference card when invoked. One-shot, do NOT change mode, write flag files, or persist anything. ## Levels | Level | Trigger | What change | |-------|---------|-------------| | **Lite** | `/ponytail lite` | Build what was asked, name the smaller option in one line. | | **Full** | `/ponytail` | The smallest complete change, a check where the logic needs one, and a reply that names what was skipped and any risk. Default. | | **Ultra** | `/ponytail ultra` | Also questions the request and pushes back before building. | Level sticks until changed or session end. ## Skills | Skill | Trigger | What it does | |-------|---------|--------------| | **ponytail** | `/ponytail` | Lazy mode itself: least new code, clear replies that name skipped work and risks. | | **ponytail-review** | `/ponytail-review` | Quality review of a diff: bugs, security, load, missing tests, speed, what to cut. Each finding says what goes wrong and how to fix it. | | **ponytail-audit** | `/ponytail-audit` | The same quality review for the whole repo, ranked. | | **ponytail-debt** | `/ponytail-debt` | Harvest `shortcut:` comments into a tracked ledger. | …

How to install
mdr add dietrichgebert/ponytail/ponytail-help@sha256:3a267f1c71058854The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.ca88b4f, 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.
