ponytail-gain
Show ponytail measured impact as a scoreboard: less code, less cost, more speed, from the agentic benchmark averages. One-shot display.
Resumen
Ponytail Gain
Display this scoreboard when invoked. One-shot: do NOT change mode, write flag files, or persist anything.
The figures are the published agentic benchmark averages: a headless Claude Code session (Haiku 4.5) doing 12 feature tickets on a real FastAPI + React repo, each task averaged over 4 runs, against the same agent without the skill, plus 6 safety tasks. They are measured, not computed from the current repo. Source: benchmarks/results/2026-06-18-agentic.md and the README.
Scoreboard
Render plain ASCII bars. The bar length shows ponytail as a share of the no-skill baseline; the label carries the exact figure:
ponytail gain benchmark average · 12 tasks · Haiku 4.5
no-skill ████████████████████ 100%
Lines of code █████████··········· 46% ▼ 54%
Tokens ████████████████···· 78% ▼ 22%
Cost ████████████████···· 80% ▼ 20%
Time ███████████████····· 73% ▼ 27%
Safety kept 100% (validation, error handling, security)
This repo: /ponytail-debt (shortcuts you deferred)
/ponytail-audit (what's still cuttable)Honesty boundary
These are benchmark averages, not this repo. NEVER print a per-repo savings number ("you saved X lines/tokens here"): the unbuilt version was never written, so there is no real baseline to subtract from in a live repo. The only real per-repo figures come from /ponytail-debt (a counted ledger), and this card points there instead of inventing one.
Boundaries
One-shot display. Edits nothing, changes no mode. "stop ponytail" or "normal mode": revert.
