|

Show ponytail's measured impact as a compact scoreboard: less code, less
|
||
cost, more speed, from the benchmark medians. One-shot display, not a
|
||
persistent mode, and not a per-repo number. Trigger: /ponytail-gain,
|
||
"ponytail gain", "what does ponytail save", "show ponytail impact",
|
||
"ponytail scoreboard".

# Ponytail Gain
|
||
|
||
Display this scoreboard when invoked. One-shot: do NOT change mode, write flag
|
||
files, or persist anything.
|
||
|
||
The figures are the published benchmark medians (5 everyday tasks: email
|
||
validator, debounce, CSV sum, countdown timer, rate limiter; three models:
|
||
Haiku, Sonnet, Opus). They are measured, not computed from the current repo.
|
||
Source: `benchmarks/` and the README.
|
||
|
||
## Scoreboard
|
||
|
||
Render plain ASCII bars. The bar length shows the measured range; the label
|
||
carries the exact figure:
|
||

/ponytail-audit (what's still cuttable)

```
|
||
|
||
## Honesty boundary
|
||
|
||
These are benchmark medians, 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.
