# Ponytail from the official plugin

The default working style is the official ponytail plugin, enabled by the project settings, and new apps get a step for their own verification skill.

Ponytail is no longer a copy of six skills under `.agents/skills`. The project's `.claude/settings.json` declares the upstream `ponytail` marketplace with auto-update and enables `ponytail@ponytail`, so Claude Code loads the always-on plugin once a contributor trusts the folder and follows upstream releases. `AGENTS.md` lists the upstream install commands for Codex, Cursor and other agents, and says when to switch to `/poteto-mode` instead.

The template ships no verification skill. The README's "Using this template" steps now tell a new app to run `/create-verification-skill` once its first features exist, then `/maintain-verification-skill` on the team's cadence, and where the generated `verify-<app>` skill belongs.
