 "title": "Review agent-written changes before merging",
 "page_title": "How to review agent-written changes before merging with Ponytail",
 "summary": "Run a senior-dev style review on uncommitted changes and see bugs, risks and cuts.",
 "who": "A developer who just had an AI agent write a feature and wants a second look before committing.",
 "problem": "Agent-written code often adds more code than the task needs, and bugs or missing tests are easy to miss in the diff.",
 "outcome": "A list of findings, each saying what the code does, what goes wrong, how to fix it, and what happens if it is not fixed.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `/plugin marketplace add DietrichGebert/ponytail` in Claude Code.",
  "Run `/plugin install ponytail@ponytail` in Claude Code.",
  "Let the agent make your change in the repo.",
  "Run `/ponytail-review uncommitted` to review the current uncommitted changes. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Read each finding and fix the ones that matter before committing."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the repo <repo-path> (DietrichGebert/ponytail skill installed), run /ponytail-review uncommitted on the current changes. Expected output: a list of findings with what the code does, what goes wrong, how to fix it, and the cost of not fixing it. Verify that each finding points to a file touched by the uncommitted diff.",
