Closes the last gap from the field review: deferral creep. /ponytail-debt greps the repo for `ponytail:` comment markers and prints a ledger (file:line, what was simplified, ceiling, upgrade trigger), flagging any marker with no trigger as the rot risk. One-shot, reports only. Full parity like ponytail-audit: skill + commands/.toml + .opencode/.md + pi registerCommand (+ test) + agent-portability + README. Verified: tests 32/32 (pi command list updated), rule check green, the scan finds the repo's real markers, and a live end-to-end run produced a correct ledger (2 markers, 1 no-trigger, prose/examples excluded).

Agent Portability
Ponytail is an agent-portable skill distribution. The skills in skills/ hold
the core behavior; host-specific files are adapters that make that behavior easy
to load in a given agent.
Supported Adapters
| Host | Files | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | .claude-plugin/, commands/, hooks/ |
Full plugin install with session activation, mode tracking, commands, and statusline support. |
| Codex | .codex-plugin/plugin.json, hooks/hooks.json, hooks/, skills/ |
Plugin install with the same skills plus lifecycle hooks for activation and mode tracking. |
| OpenCode | .opencode/plugins/ponytail.mjs, .opencode/command/, hooks/, skills/ |
Server plugin injects the ruleset each turn via experimental.chat.system.transform and persists /ponytail switches; reuses the shared instruction builder. |
| Gemini CLI | gemini-extension.json, AGENTS.md, commands/, skills/ |
Extension manifest points contextFileName at AGENTS.md for always-on rules, and reuses the existing commands/*.toml (/ponytail, /ponytail-review) and skills/, which Gemini CLI auto-discovers. |
| Cursor | .cursor/rules/ponytail.mdc |
Always-on project rule. |
| Windsurf | .windsurf/rules/ponytail.md |
Project rule. |
| Cline | .clinerules/ponytail.md |
Project rule. |
| GitHub Copilot | .github/copilot-instructions.md |
Repository instruction file. |
| GitHub Copilot CLI | AGENTS.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, ~/.copilot/copilot-instructions.md |
Reads custom instructions: per-project from AGENTS.md or .github/copilot-instructions.md, or globally from ~/.copilot/copilot-instructions.md. Instruction-tier (no /ponytail levels or hooks). |
| Antigravity | AGENTS.md |
Reads AGENTS.md at the repo root as always-on rules (like .cursorrules/CLAUDE.md); .agents/rules/ also works for workspace rules. Instruction-tier. |
| VS Code + Codex extension | AGENTS.md |
The Codex extension reads AGENTS.md (repo root, or ~/.codex/AGENTS.md globally). Instruction-tier; the full Codex plugin row above adds /ponytail levels and hooks. |
| Kiro | .kiro/steering/ponytail.md |
Steering rule; copy globally or into a project. |
| Generic agents | AGENTS.md or skills/*/SKILL.md |
Copy the compact rule file or load the skill files directly. |
Adapter Rule
Keep adapters thin. When a host supports skills or hooks, point it at the
existing skills/ and hooks/ files. When a host only supports project
instructions, keep its copied rule text aligned with AGENTS.md.
