Get Started Free →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".

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.
Render plain ASCII bars. The bar length shows the measured range; the label carries the exact figure:

This repo: /ponytail-debt (shortcuts you deferred)
/ponytail-audit (what's still cuttable)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.
One-shot display. Edits nothing, changes no mode. "stop ponytail" or "normal mode": revert.
