Ben YounesandClaude Opus 4.8 15749f7ffc feat(skills): add /ponytail-gain measured-impact scoreboard (#108)
A one-shot scoreboard showing ponytail's measured benchmark impact
(less code, less cost, more speed) as plain ASCII bars, then points to
/ponytail-debt and /ponytail-audit for this repo's real numbers.

Complements the existing skills rather than duplicating them: debt
harvests the ponytail: ledger, audit finds what's cuttable, gain shows
the measured why-it-matters. No per-repo savings number is ever printed
-- the unbuilt version was never written, so there is no real baseline
to subtract from in a live repo. The bars carry the published benchmark
medians (5 tasks, 3 models); per-repo figures come from debt's count.

Ships every adapter the other commands ship: Claude commands/*.toml,
OpenCode .opencode/command/*.md, OpenClaw skill (generated), Pi command
registration. Help card, command enumeration, portability table, and
README updated in the same change.

name: ponytail-gain
description: >
Show ponytail's measured impact as a compact scoreboard: less code, less
cost, more speed, from the benchmark medians. One-shot display, not a
persistent mode, and not a per-repo number. Trigger: /ponytail-gain,
"ponytail gain", "what does ponytail save", "show ponytail impact",
"ponytail scoreboard".

# Ponytail Gain
Display this scoreboard when invoked. One-shot: do NOT change mode, write flag
files, or persist anything.
The figures are the published benchmark medians (5 everyday tasks: email
validator, debounce, CSV sum, countdown timer, rate limiter; three models:
Haiku, Sonnet, Opus). They are measured, not computed from the current repo.
Source: `benchmarks/` and the README.
## Scoreboard
Render plain ASCII bars. The bar length shows the measured range; the label
carries the exact figure:
```
ponytail gain benchmark median · 5 tasks · 3 models
Lines of code no-skill ████████████████████ 100%
ponytail ██▌················· 6–20% ▼ 8094%
Cost no-skill ████████████████████ 100%
ponytail █████▌·············· 23–53% ▼ 4777%
Speed ponytail ▸ 36× faster
This repo: /ponytail-debt (shortcuts you deferred)
/ponytail-audit (what's still cuttable)
```
## Honesty boundary
These are benchmark medians, not this repo. NEVER print a per-repo savings
number ("you saved X lines/tokens here"): the unbuilt version was never
written, so there is no real baseline to subtract from in a live repo. The
only real per-repo figures come from `/ponytail-debt` (a counted ledger), and
this card points there instead of inventing one.
## Boundaries
One-shot display. Edits nothing, changes no mode.
"stop ponytail" or "normal mode": revert.
