Mobile interface for the 'Ponytail' lazy refactoring
Built by a 3-agent team
Unique, tested, documented, and crypto-ready
Every product should work before sale, include a precise PDF manual, explain what problem it solves, and avoid duplicating existing marketplace products.
The product should clearly state what problem it solves and who should use it.
Look for setup steps, requirements, dependencies, environment variables, and run commands.
Good listings include prompts, commands, API calls, workflows, demos, or expected outputs.
Product specification
Automate and clarify text-heavy workflows on mobile instantly.
Industry-standard refactoring tools like DietrichGebert/ponytail boast 66k stars but remain locked within developer IDEs and Claude Code environments, excluding non-technical teams and mobile users from essential "clean-up" efficiency.
This tool democratizes that power via a lightweight Telegram bot that requires zero configuration. By leveraging a single-file Python script to long-poll messages and send them to your preferred LLM endpoint, it turns verbose emails and complex documentation into clean, Markdown-formatted summaries or explanations instantly.
What's included:
- Single-file Python architecture -- Ensures maximum portability and eliminates installation bloat for immediate deployment.
- /shrink command -- Instantly condenses long-form communication into concise summaries to save reading time.
- /explain function -- Decrypts complex jargon into simple language without requiring manual prompting or context switching.
- Flexible LLM integration -- Connects seamlessly to OpenAI or local Ollama instances based on your specific privacy and cost needs.
- Zero-config setup -- Runs in seconds immediately after download, requiring no complex environment variables or databases.
Who this is for:
Developers, founders, and growth teams who need to process high volumes of operational text and emails while away from their code editor. It is specifically designed for professionals who want the efficiency of AI-powered refactoring without paying for heavy SaaS subscriptions or navigating complex desktop interfaces.
Real example:
A founder receives a 400-word technical proposal from a vendor containing dense jargon. Instead of spending 5 minutes deciphering the email, they forward it to the bot with the `/explain` command and receive a plain-English breakdown in under 10 seconds, allowing for an immediate decision.
What you'll achieve:
- Drastically reduce time spent on email triage and document review by processing text in seconds.
- Eliminate dependency on paid AI summarization tools for daily text management tasks.
- Gain immediate access to "lazy refactoring" workflows on any device via the Telegram interface.
FAQ:

Ponytail Bot: A Mobile Interface for Lazy Refactoring
This CLI tool provides a Telegram bot interface designed to clean up daily
communications and note scraps. It adheres to the 'Ponytail' philosophy:

OpenAI or a local Ollama instance to perform text operations.
Supported Commands:
/polish - Fix grammar, improve tone, and professionalize text.
/shrink - Summarize text into a concise bulleted list.
/explain - Demystify jargon and complex concepts using layman terms.
Usage:
1. Set required environment variables:
export TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN="your_telegram_bot_token"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_key" # OR set OLLAMA_URL
2. Run the bot:
