Codex uses @ponytail , @ponytail-review , and @ponytail-help ; Claude Code and OpenCode use the slash-command forms above (OpenCode ships all six as slash commands). Deactivate Say "stop ponytail" or "normal mode". Resume anytime with /ponytail . /ponytail off also works. Configure Default Mode Default mode = full , auto-active every session. Change it: Environment variable (highest priority): export PONYTAIL_DEFAULT_MODE=ultra Config file ( ~/.config/ponytail/config.json , Windows: %APPDATA%\ponytail\config.json ): { "defaultMode" : "lite" } Set "off" to disable auto-activation on session start, activate manually with /ponytail when wanted. Resolution: env var > config file > full . Update Enable auto-update once: open /plugin , go to Marketplaces, pick ponytail, Enable auto-update. Claude Code then pulls new versions at startup (run /reload-plugins when it prompts). Manual refresh: /plugin marketplace update ponytail then /reload-plugins . If /plugin is not recognized, your Claude Code is out of date. Update it ( npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@latest , or brew upgrade claude-code ) and restart. Other hosts use their own update flow. More Full docs + examples: https://github.com/DietrichGebert/ponytail
