The Boundaries line opened with "Complexity only, correctness bugs, security holes, and performance go to a normal review pass." The comma after "Complexity only" fuses the in-scope item with the out-of-scope list, so a model parsing it literally can read all four categories as targets of the audit — the opposite of intent. Restate the boundary as an explicit scope fence: name what is in scope, then mark correctness/security/performance as explicitly out of scope. "Out of scope" is phrasing models reliably honor as a constraint. Also aligns the scope term with each skill's stated purpose (over-engineering). Applied to both skills/ and the .openclaw/ mirror so the two trees stay in sync. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

| ponytail-audit | Audit the whole repo for over-engineering. A ranked list of what to delete, simplify, or replace with stdlib or native features. | https://github.com/DietrichGebert/ponytail | MIT |
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.
