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.

The ponytail API example returned the raw ORM model, which exposes every
column. Restore a response_model whitelist (the trust boundary) while still
cutting the repository/service/exception ceremony. Matches the skill's own
'never cut security' rule.

Commit a promptfoo harness (config + arm prompts + LOC metric + vendored
caveman SKILL) so anyone can re-run the comparison: no-skill vs caveman vs
ponytail, across Haiku / Sonnet / Opus, 10 runs per cell, median reported.
Replace the old unreproducible 6-task chart with assets/benchmark-3model.svg
from this run, and reframe the README to the reproducible numbers: ponytail
writes 80-94% less code, costs 47-77% less, and runs 3-6x faster than a
no-skill agent on every model. benchmarks/README.md carries the median tables
and the reproduce command. Drops nothing that is not measured.

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.
