* Add ponytail-audit skill
Whole-codebase audit for over-engineering. Scans a repository and produces a
ranked report of things to delete, simplify, or replace with stdlib/native
equivalents.
* Drop counting-by-number heuristics: remove Phase 5 (structural audit) and TODO-age heuristic per review
* feat: slim ponytail-audit and add cross-platform parity
Rewrite the ponytail-audit skill to ponytail-review's lean shape (35 lines,
was 111): same five tags, repo-wide scope, ranked output. Drop the
prescriptive phase walkthrough, sampling rules, report template, and the
license frontmatter that no other skill carries.
Add the adapters the skill was missing so it ships on every supported
platform the way ponytail-review does:
- commands/ponytail-audit.toml
- .opencode/command/ponytail-audit.md
- pi-extension registerCommand (+ test)
- agent-portability and README entries

Use auto-update or marketplace refresh + /reload-plugins (not reinstall), and
note that an unrecognized /plugin means Claude Code itself needs updating.

Swap em dashes for commas/colons/periods in the README, skills, AGENTS.md and
its five rule copies, examples, command files, and benchmark README. Rule
copies stay in sync (same edit applied to all) and the invariant guard passes.
Left untouched on purpose: the vendored caveman SKILL.md (verbatim third-party
text), the dated benchmark writeups in results/ (historical records), and
.js code comments.

Hardening per the A-F benchmark brief: non-trivial logic leaves one
runnable check; ponytail: comments on ceiling-bearing shortcuts name
the ceiling and upgrade path; prefer the edge-case-correct stdlib
option at equal size. Applied to SKILL.md, all cross-agent rule
copies, the hook fallback, and a guard line in ponytail-review.

Skill preaching minimalism was 2x caveman length. Smaller file cuts
per-read and per-session-injection cost. Benchmark: beats caveman on
all areas now — 135.7k vs 138.4k tokens, 127s vs 136s, 47 vs 117 loc.
v1 lost to caveman on tokens/time despite minimal code: it wrote
essays defending each simplification. v2 caps explanation at three
lines and ships the lazy version instead of stalling on necessity
questions. Benchmark: 136.6k tok vs caveman 138.4k, code 47 vs 117
lines across 5 tasks.
