Install and run

Setup complexity: low.

clawhub skill install s17beee6vfcnpy9kq5vh15rzzh88rnca:ponytail-debt
  1. Setup complexity is classified as HIGH. You must provision dedicated cloud infrastructure or an isolated VM. Do not run this directly on your local workstation.
  2. Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

Every deliberate ponytail shortcut is marked with a `shortcut:` comment naming
its ceiling and upgrade path (older code may say `ponytail:`). This collects them into one ledger so a deferral
can't quietly become permanent.

## Scan

Grep the repo for comment markers, skipping `node_modules`, `.git`, and build
output:

`grep -rnE --exclude-dir=.git --exclude-dir=node_modules --exclude-dir=dist --exclude-dir=build '(#|//|/[*]) ?(shortcut|ponytail):' .`  (add other comment prefixes if your stack uses them)

If the user names their own marker word (`/ponytail-debt TODO`), grep for that word instead.

Each hit is one ledger row. The comment prefix keeps prose that merely mentions
the convention out of the ledger. Skip hits that are not a deferral, like a note
about a keyboard shortcut.

## Output

One row per marker, grouped by file:

`<file>:<line>, <what was simplified>. ceiling: <the limit named>. upgrade: <the trigger to revisit>.`

The convention is `shortcut: <ceiling>, <upgrade path>`, so pull the ceiling
and the trigger straight from the comment. Want an owner per row too? add
`git blame -L<line>,<line>`.

Flag the rot risk: any marker comment that names no upgrade path or
trigger gets a `no-trigger` tag, those are the ones that silently rot.

End with `<N> markers, <M> with no trigger.` Nothing found: `No shortcut debt. Clean ledger.`

## Boundaries

Reads and reports only, changes nothing. To persist it, ask and it writes the
ledger to a file (e.g. `PONYTAIL-DEBT.md`). One-shot. "stop ponytail-debt" or
"normal mode" to revert.

## Description:

Collects marked shortcut and ponytail comments into a one-shot debt ledger so deferred work stays visible.

This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.

## Publisher:

[dietrichgebert](https://clawhub.ai/user/dietrichgebert)

### License/Terms of Use:

MIT-0

## Use Case:

Developers scan repository comments for deliberate shortcuts and review a file-grouped debt ledger with limits, upgrade triggers, and missing-trigger flags.

### Deployment Geography for Use:

Global

## Known Risks and Mitigations:

Risk: The report displays matching repository comments, which may contain information not intended for sharing.

Mitigation: Review the ledger before sharing it and request a persistent file only when needed.

## Reference(s):

## Skill Output:

**Output Type(s):** [Text, Markdown, Shell commands]

**Output Format:** [File-grouped text ledger; optional Markdown file on request]

**Output Parameters:** [1D]

**Other Properties Related to Output:** [Lists file and line, shortcut, ceiling, upgrade trigger, and no-trigger flags; ends with marker counts.]

## Skill Version(s):

5.1.0 (source: ClawHub release metadata)

## Ethical Considerations:

Users should evaluate whether this skill is appropriate for their environment, review any generated or modified files before relying on them, and apply their organization's safety, security, and compliance requirements before deployment.
