Approach

Adds PonyTail, a build-and-audit agent for the lazy-senior-developer discipline: climb the simplicity ladder (YAGNI, stdlib, native, one line before fifty), fix root causes rather than symptoms, and hunt over-engineering on review. It sits between the correctness-focused CodeReviewer and the structural RefactoringSpecialist.

The agent is fused from the ponytail, ponytail-review, and ponytail-audit skills of DietrichGebert/ponytail (MIT, © 2026 DietrichGebert), restructured into the repo agent schema (Role / Expertise / Instructions / Output Format / Constraints) and attributed with a SLSA provenance sidecar that pins all three upstream sources.

Test plan

  • forge validate clean for the agent and touched docs
  • Provenance subject digest matches the agent file on disk
  • Assembles cleanly to the Claude target (tools/upstream/H1 stripped, model retained)

Build-and-audit agent embodying lazy-senior-developer discipline: climb the
simplicity ladder (YAGNI, stdlib, native, one line), fix root causes over
symptoms, and hunt over-engineering on review. Fused from the ponytail,
ponytail-review, and ponytail-audit skills of DietrichGebert/ponytail (MIT),
conformed to the repo agent schema with a SLSA provenance sidecar.

This is good, I'm thinking for theme/style adopted artifacts we need to have a custom repo. Hold on for a bit, we are exploring moving towards a monorepo so we'll merge it there.
