About this skill
What it does. Scans the repository for ponytail: comments while skipping dependencies, version control data and build output. It groups each marker by file and reports its simplification, ceiling and upgrade path, tagging entries without a trigger and summarising the totals.
When to use it. When reviewing shortcuts marked for later work or checking what ponytail deferred. It reports without changing files; persistence requires a separate request to write a ledger.
