…ll 14 AI agents Two new scripts for one-command ponytail installation across every AI agent on the machine, with auto-detection of installed agentic harnesses. install.sh (573 lines): - curl-pipe compatible: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/... - Flags: --all, --agent <name>, --list, --uninstall, --repo <path>, --yes - Auto-detects agents via 8 methods: binary PATH, config dirs, npm global packages, VS Code extensions, gh extensions, cargo packages, macOS .app bundles, and common install paths - Creates symlinks from agent config dirs to ~/.config/ponytail/ - Installs Claude Code lifecycle hooks (session activation + mode tracking) install.js (681 lines): - Node.js version with --dry-run, --yes, colour output - node install.js --list for status overview - Same detection logic, cross-platform compatible 14 supported agents: claude, codex, copilot, opencode, cursor, windsurf, cline, kiro, openclaw, gemini, pi, antigravity, kilocode, codewhale README.md: add System-wide (auto-detect) section to Install, update Development notes.

- Claude Code and Codex don't scan ~/.claude/plugins/ for directories - They require marketplace mechanism: plugin marketplace add + plugin install - Kilo Code (fork of OpenCode) needs plugin entry in kilo.json, not a rules symlink - install.sh/install.js now use correct mechanisms per agent type: - Claude Code: claude plugin marketplace add + claude plugin install - Codex: codex plugin marketplace add + codex plugin add - Kilo Code: symlink ponytail.mjs + plugin entry in kilo.json - All others: symlink approach (unchanged) - Remove legacy hooks from settings.json (plugin manages its own hooks) - Fix detect_kilo to find /usr/bin/kilo and ~/.config/kilo/kilo.json - Fix sync_files to copy .claude-plugin, .codex-plugin, pi-extension - Fix --list to check plugin status via CLI for Claude/Codex/Kilo - Fix --uninstall to use CLI commands for Claude/Codex, update kilo.json for Kilo - Add Kilo Code instructions to README Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add Hermes plugin (.hermes/plugins/ponytail/) with pre_llm_call hook for always-active ruleset injection - Install Hermes as both plugin (always-active) and skill (visible in hermes skills list, like graphify) - Fix OpenCode install: add plugin entry to opencode.json (was only creating symlink without config update) - Add OpenCode command file symlinking for /ponytail commands - Update both install.sh and install.js with detection, install, uninstall, and status for Hermes and OpenCode - Update README with Hermes setup instructions Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Both installers maintain a 15-agent list in parallel (install.sh AGENT_DEFS, install.js AGENTS array). When a new agent is added, it's easy to update one and forget the other — graph analysis showed two separate god-node communities (C2 install.sh, C5 install.js) that share zero edges, meaning nothing catches silent drift. This test parses both files and asserts the agent name sets match. Verified: adding a fake agent to install.sh only fails the test. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

What changed
Fixed the install scripts so ponytail actually loads in every agent.
Root cause
The original scripts created symlinks in
~/.claude/plugins/ponytail/, but Claude Code doesn't scan that directory — it uses a marketplace mechanism (claude plugin marketplace add+claude plugin install). Same issue with Codex. Kilo Code (fork of OpenCode) needs a plugin entry inkilo.json, not a rules-file symlink.Changes
Claude Code — uses
claude plugin marketplace add+claude plugin install ponytail@ponytailinstead of symlinksCodex — uses
codex plugin marketplace add+codex plugin add ponytail@ponytailKilo Code — symlinks
ponytail.mjsand adds plugin entry tokilo.json(same mechanism as OpenCode)Other agents — unchanged (symlink approach works for Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Kiro, etc.)
Hooks — removed legacy manual hooks from
settings.json(the plugin manages its own hooks viaplugin.json → hooks/claude-codex-hooks.json)Detection —
detect_kilo()now finds/usr/bin/kilobinary and~/.config/kilo/kilo.jsonStatus —
--listchecks plugin status via CLI for Claude/Codex/Kilo instead of checking for symlinksUninstall — uses CLI commands for Claude/Codex, updates
