@arnilo/prism-ponytail

Optional Ponytail behavior integration for Prism (0.0.23).

Importing is inert: no skills, commands, timers, or network until the host loads the extension via kernel.load([createPonytailExtension(...)]).

Requirements

• Optional peer @dietrichgebert/ponytail@^4.9.0, or host-supplied upstreamPath to a Ponytail checkout with skills/ and hooks/.
• Session callbacks (appendEntry, getEntries) for mode persistence — same pattern as observational memory attach.
• Peer @arnilo/[email protected].

Quick start

import { createPonytailExtension } from "@arnilo/prism-ponytail";
import { createExtensionKernel, createLoadSkillTool, createLoadedSkillSet, createSkillRegistry } from "@arnilo/prism";

const ponytail = createPonytailExtension({
  upstreamPath: undefined, // resolves optional peer when installed
  defaultMode: "full",
  quietStartup: true,
  appendEntry: (entry, options) => store.append(entry, options),
  getEntries: () => session.entries(),
});

await kernel.load([ponytail]);

Commands: ponytail (empty/status report mode; lite|full|ultra|off; default <mode>), ponytail-review, ponytail-audit, ponytail-gain, ponytail-debt, ponytail-help.

Mode persists as session custom { type: "ponytail-mode", mode }. Active mode injects upstream getPonytailInstructions via ponytail-mode instruction injector. stop ponytail / normal mode deactivate without erasing history.
