ponytail-audit

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

Whole-repo audit for over-engineering. Like ponytail-review, but scans the entire codebase instead of a diff: a ranked list of what to delete, simplify, or replace with stdlib/native equivalents. Use when the user says "audit this codebase", "audit for over-engineering", "what can I delete from this repo", "find bloat", "ponytail-audit", or "/ponytail-audit". One-shot report, does not apply fixes.

ponytail-review, repo-wide. Scan the whole tree instead of a diff. Rank findings biggest cut first.

Hunt

Deps the stdlib or platform already ships, single-implementation interfaces, factories with one product, wrappers that only delegate, files exporting one thing, dead flags and config, hand-rolled stdlib.

Output

One line per finding, ranked:

<tag> <what to cut>. <replacement>. [path]

. End with

net: -<N> lines, -<M> deps possible.

Nothing to cut:

Lean already. Ship.

Boundaries

Complexity only, correctness bugs, security holes, and performance go to a normal review pass. Lists findings, applies nothing. One-shot. "stop ponytail-audit" or "normal mode" to revert.
