#4I will be trying this ASAP. With the locally hosted models I've run and Gemeni's free no-login results, I've found they love to put in everything the skill here tells it not to. Today one in Python put a lambda that has no arguments to call a function that takes no arguments instead of just passing the function. There's at least one linter that checks for that but still it's a lot of babysitting to get good code.

#6Real senior developers can do that because they have experience and can put that in context. E.g. maybe fine for one scenario, but we might need a fancier one for another. I wonder if the skill takes PRD or the surrounding code into context to better emulate those developers?

My thoughts exactly. The whole thing is essentially just these rules, and a metric ton of boilerplate for specific plugin systems.
My own personal ponytail says this could just be this in a code block of a README

A lot of it is about developing good judgement, IMO.

#9This joke repository is so offensive! I haven't even had a ponytail since 1996.

#10The repo is bigger than most of the code Ponytail would allow me to write.
