No plugin. He would have wanted it this way. \"Ponytail Lite\" is Ponytail without the plugin madness. Not to be confused with Ponytail's lite mode. This is a separate one-file version. Just copy AGENTS.md into the place your agent reads instructions. That's it. No plugin, hooks, commands, MCP, or mode switching. The Joke Ponytail is a beautiful contradiction: an anti-overengineering tool delivered as a whole plugin ecosystem, with lifecycle hooks, slash commands, MCP, statuslines, adapter tests, and enough install paths to make a senior engineer stare silently at the wall. Ponytail Lite is what a lazy senior dev would have expected: Why This Exists Could you just copy AGENTS.md from Ponytail? Yes... But: The AGENTS.md here is not a byte-for-byte copy. It is an opinionated cleanup of the original: same lazy senior dev idea, less plugin baggage, and guardrails rewritten for people who just want the file. Install Copy AGENTS.md , or copy the same text into whatever your agent calls \"project instructions\" or \"rules\".
