Install and run

Setup complexity: low.

clawhub skill install s17beee6vfcnpy9kq5vh15rzzh88rnca:ponytail-gain

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.
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.

Contract: missing

# Ponytail Gain

Display this scoreboard when invoked. One-shot: do NOT change mode, write flag
files, or persist anything.

The figures are the published agentic benchmark of Ponytail 5: headless Claude
Code (Opus 5.5, default effort) on 39 tasks (feature tickets in a real FastAPI +
React repo, bug fixes, security and privacy cases, small apps), 5 runs each,
against the same agent without the skill. 18 of the tasks have hidden checks
for correctness and safety. Each figure is the geometric mean of the per-task
medians. They are measured, not computed from the current repo.
Source: `benchmarks/results/2026-10-07-agentic.md` and the README.

## Scoreboard

Render plain ASCII bars. The bar length shows ponytail as a share of the
no-skill baseline; the label carries the exact figure:

```
ponytail gain benchmark · 39 tasks × 5 runs · Opus 5.5

no-skill ████████████████████ 100%
Lines of code █████████··········· 47% ▼ 53%
Output tokens ███████████········· 55% ▼ 45%
Cost ███████████████····· 74% ▼ 26%
Time ████████████········ 59% ▼ 41%
Hidden checks passed 97% (no-skill 96%)
Tests where the logic needs one 98% (no-skill 68%)

This repo: /ponytail-debt (shortcuts you deferred)
/ponytail-audit (what's still cuttable)
```

## Honesty boundary

These are benchmark averages, 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.

## Description:

Displays published Ponytail 5 benchmark results as a one-shot scoreboard without changing the current repository.

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 and other agent users can view the published Ponytail 5 benchmark comparison for code size, tokens, cost, time, and quality checks without altering their repository.

### Deployment Geography for Use:

Global

## Known Risks and Mitigations:

Risk: Published benchmark figures could be mistaken for measured savings in the current repository.

Mitigation: Present the figures as published benchmark claims only; do not claim repository-specific savings without a measured baseline.

## Reference(s):

## Skill Output:

**Output Type(s):** [Text]

**Output Format:** [Plain-text scoreboard with labeled bars and percentages]

**Output Parameters:** [1D]

**Other Properties Related to Output:** [One-shot display; no edits, persistent state, or repository-specific savings calculations.]

## 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.
