Real senior developers can do that because they have experience and can put that in context. E.g. <input type="date"> maybe fine for one scenario, but we might need a fancier one for another. I wonder if the skill takes PRD or the surrounding code into context to better emulate those developers?
A lot of it is about developing good judgement, IMO.

<input type="date">
wow... this is me
I will be trying this ASAP. With the locally hosted models I've run and Gemeni's free no-login results, I've found they love to put in everything the skill here tells it not to. Today one in Python put a lambda that has no arguments to call a function that takes no arguments instead of just passing the function. There's at least one linter that checks for that but still it's a lot of babysitting to get good code.
The repo is bigger than most of the code Ponytail would allow me to write.
Oh the irony of this giant repo for a prompt. Is this the new leftpad?
My thoughts exactly. The whole thing is essentially just these rules, and a metric ton of boilerplate for specific plugin systems.
My own personal ponytail says this could just be this in a code block of a README
https://github.com/DietrichGebert/ponytail/blob/main/.github...
The skills dirs have some necessary content (or so I assume):

Wizard spells more than engineering
We are past weaving wizard spells. Now we are at cunning demon summoning.
In the spirit of the project, I can replace this with a "one-liner":
This joke repository is so offensive! I haven't even had a ponytail since 1996.
