# Ponytail on Stimulants Help

One-shot reference; do not change mode or state.

## Modes

| Mode | Command | Behavior |
|------|---------|----------|
| **focused** | `/ponytail-on-stimulants focused` | Smallest sound design, complete requested path, normal proportional verification. |
| **full-send** | `/ponytail-on-stimulants full-send` | Broader affected-path tracing, implied work, verification, explicit adversarial pass. Default. |
| **feral** | `/ponytail-on-stimulants feral` | Stronger caller/edge search and broader reasonable verification; scope remains bounded. |
| **off** | `/ponytail-on-stimulants off` | Disable the fork's injected behavior. |

Set the default with `/ponytail-on-stimulants default <mode>` or `PONYTAIL_ON_STIMULANTS_DEFAULT_MODE`.

## Skills

- `/ponytail-on-stimulants-review` — review the current diff for complexity and unfinished work.
- `/ponytail-on-stimulants-audit` — audit the repository with the same bounded-scope lens.
- `/ponytail-on-stimulants-debt` — collect deliberate `ponytail-on-stimulants:` shortcuts.
- `/ponytail-on-stimulants-gain` — explain the upstream benchmark heritage and fork completion metrics.
- `/ponytail-on-stimulants-help` — this card.

## Completion gate

Pi performs a bounded deterministic completion pass after qualifying coding turns: zero forced passes in focused, one in full-send, two in feral. Optional Jev judgment is disabled by default and never replaces deterministic checks.

Native hooks differ by host. Cursor mode selections apply on the next local
chat, not during the current prompt; its startup hook injects context but has no
completion gate. Gemini supplies context/skills, not a stop gate. Copilot's
native startup hook supplies context; prompt-hook output cannot reinject rules.
Static rules have no mutable modes. See README.md for the capability matrix.

Stop the fork with `stop ponytail on stimulants` where native mode tracking is available.
