Ponytail: The Best Code Is the Code Your Agent Never Writes

Jun 27, 2026 · Shingo Nakamura · AI

Ponytail is a one-file 'lazy senior dev' skill that makes coding agents stop and pick the simplest solution that works — cutting code by ~54% (and tokens ~22%) on a real agentic benchmark. What it is, how the ladder works, what trusted reviewers found, and the honest caveats.

Ralph: Put a Coding Agent in a While Loop and Walk Away

Jun 27, 2026 · Shingo Nakamura · AI

Ralph is a brutally simple technique — loop the same prompt into a coding agent until the task is done. What it is, how the two main implementations (Anthropic's ralph-wiggum plugin and snarktank/ralph) actually differ, the anecdotal numbers behind the hype, and an honest critical review of where it breaks.

Graphify: Turn a Codebase Into a Token-Cheap Knowledge Graph

Jun 21, 2026 · Shingo Nakamura · AI

Graphify is a Claude Code skill that compiles code, docs, papers and images into a queryable knowledge graph — so an agent answers from a tiny subgraph instead of re-reading raw files. How it works, how it saves tokens, the real benchmarks, and how it compares to vector RAG and the LLM Wiki.

Caveman: Why Use Many Token When Few Do Trick

May 1, 2026 · Shingo Nakamura · AI

A Claude Code skill that makes the agent talk like a caveman — cutting output tokens by up to ~75% while keeping full technical accuracy. Why, how it works, how to install it, and real before/after numbers.
