Ponytail Studio

How to use Ponytail Studio

1. Paste the code you want reviewed into the editor.
2. Pick a level: Lite, Full (default), or Ultra — Ultra also questions the request itself.
3. Read the smallest-complete-change ladder before you write: exist, reuse, platform, dependency, one line.
4. Click 'Run the lean review' to get a lean score, a cut list, and protected lines.
5. Trim the flagged bloat — validation, error handling, and security are never cut.

Features

• Lean-code analyzer ported from the Ponytail skill rules
• The 6-step smallest-complete-change ladder, built in
• Detects dead code, for-later markers, hand-rolled pickers, and barely-used dependencies
• Flags single-use wrappers and comments that restate code
• Lean score 0-100 with a copyable report; validation and security lines stay protected
