Présentation

Description affichée dans sa langue d’origine (English).

Ponytail is an MIT-licensed plugin and ruleset for AI coding agents. Before writing new code, it checks whether a change is needed or can be met by existing code, the standard library, a native API, or an installed dependency. It also reviews diffs and whole repositories for unnecessary complexity.
