About

Ponytail is a skill set that makes coding agents behave like a pragmatic senior developer: write minimal new code, reuse existing solutions, and prefer the boring fix that works. The payoff is fewer tokens burned and higher-quality output in one move. It is MIT open source and plugs into the major agent harnesses, so it layers cleanly on top of whatever agent setup you already run.

Details

Open source. You run it yourself.

Auth: Open source (MIT)

Rate limit: Self-hosted open source: no limits; reduces your model token spend.
