#163 clarified the audit/review Boundaries scope but reintroduced em dashes,
which this repo deliberately purged (commit 88431de "replace em dashes with
plain punctuation across prose"). Keeps the clearer wording, swaps the em dash
for a period. .openclaw mirrors regenerated; suite green.

|
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-review, repo-wide. Scan the whole tree instead of a diff. Rank
|
|
findings biggest cut first.
|
|
|
|
## Tags
|
|
|
|
Same as ponytail-review:
|
|
|
|
- `delete:` dead code, unused flexibility, speculative feature. Replacement: nothing.
|
|
- `stdlib:` hand-rolled thing the standard library ships. Name the function.
|
|
- `native:` dependency or code doing what the platform already does. Name the feature.
|
|
- `yagni:` abstraction with one implementation, config nobody sets, layer with one caller.
|
|
- `shrink:` same logic, fewer lines. Show the shorter form.
|
|
|
|
## Hunt
|
|
|
|
Deps the stdlib or platform already ships, single-implementation interfaces,
|
|
factories with one product, wrappers that only delegate, files exporting one
|
|
thing, dead flags and config, hand-rolled stdlib.
|
|
|
|
## Output
|
|
|
|
One line per finding, ranked: `<tag> <what to cut>. <replacement>. [path]`.
|
|
End with `net: -<N> lines, -<M> deps possible.` Nothing to cut: `Lean already. Ship.`
|
|
|
|
## Boundaries
|
|
|
|
Scope: over-engineering and complexity only. Correctness bugs, security holes,
|
|
and performance are explicitly out of scope. Route them to a normal review
|
|
pass. Lists findings, applies nothing. One-shot.
|
|
"stop ponytail-audit" or "normal mode" to revert.
