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.
  • reuse: equivalent helper, util, or pattern already in this repo. Name the path.
  • 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, helpers duplicating an equivalent that already lives in this repo. Before emitting delete:, grep the whole tree for the symbol, including tests, fixtures and string or dynamic references.

Output

One line per finding, numbered and ranked: <N>. <tag> <what to cut>. <replacement>. [path], so the user can say "fix 2 and 5". 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.
