What's inside
- Skill name
ponytail- Description
- Forces the laziest solution that actually works — the minimal, shortest path. Climb a ladder (YAGNI, reuse, stdlib, native, installed deps, one line) before writing new code, never cutting validation, error handling, security, or accessibility. Use when the user says "ponytail", "be lazy", "simplest/minimal solution", "yagni", "do less", or complains about over-engineering, bloat, boilerplate, or unnecessary dependencies.
