What it does

Agent skills that push a coding agent towards writing less code: the smallest, simplest change that solves the problem, and nothing that isn't needed yet (the YAGNI principle its topics name). Its topics list Claude Code plugins and Cursor rules as ways to use it.

Who it’s for

Developers whose agent over-engineers, adding layers, options and code the task didn't ask for.

Install

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
# Pick the folders with a SKILL.md inside ponytail/
cp -r ponytail/<skill-folder> ~/.claude/skills/

Claude Code loads a skill on its own when a task fits it; ask for the task as you normally would.
