ponytail-audit

Whole-repo audit for over-engineering. Like ponytail-review, but scans the entire codebase instead of a diff: a ranked list of what to delete, simplify, or replace with stdlib/native equivalents. Use when the user says "audit this codebase", "audit for over-engineering", "what can I delete from this repo", "find bloat", "ponytail-audit", or "/ponytail-audit". One-shot report, does not apply fixes.

Ponytail-audit is an agent skill (SKILL.md) that audits an entire repository for over-engineering, rather than just a diff. It produces a ranked, one-shot list of what to delete, simplify, or replace with stdlib or native equivalents, without applying any fixes.

When you want a quick whole-repo inventory of bloat and unnecessary abstraction before refactoring, this gives a ranked deletion report in one pass.

Use it to

  • Run "audit this codebase" before a cleanup sprint
  • Ask "what can I delete from this repo"
  • Find bloat and replace hand-rolled code with stdlib equivalents
  • Trigger /ponytail-audit for a one-shot over-engineering report
