Plugin Overview & Capabilities

AI-assisted organization based on the public repository snapshot. The content must be grounded in source evidence and does not replace compatibility or security verification.

source-grounded
dsh-ponytail is an installable DeepSeek Harness bundle adapted from the Ponytail philosophy. It introduces an anti-over-engineering decision ladder into the agent prompt, provides six specialized skills (such as ponytail-review and ponytail-audit), registers tools and slash commands to switch modes, and injects a composer chip and settings configuration card.

Key Capabilities

  • Injects a mode-filtered anti-over-engineering prompt ladder into the system prompt
  • Provides six skills accessible via composer commands (/ponytail, /ponytail-review, /ponytail-audit, /ponytail-debt, /ponytail-gain, /ponytail-help)
  • Offers runtime mode switching through slash commands, natural language triggers ('stop ponytail'), and model tool calls
  • Renders a settings configuration card and a composer status chip in the DeepSeek Harness UI
  • Supports multiple strictness levels: lite, full, ultra, review, and off

Useful For

  • Preventing AI agents from introducing excessive abstractions, boilerplate classes, and premature factories
  • Auditing existing pull requests or codebases for code debt and unnecessary complexity
  • Enforcing minimal, standard-library-first implementations during interactive development

Who It Fits

  • Software engineers wanting minimal and maintainable code from DeepSeek Harness
  • Teams seeking to restrict AI over-engineering and boilerplate generation

Documented Limitations

  • The configured mode is process-wide across all agents in the current process
  • Spawned external subagents (such as subagent-claude-code or subagent-codex) do not inherit the prompt ladder
  • UI localized only for English and Simplified Chinese
  • Level switching is not recorded as a replayed session event
