Last Updated on August 19, 2026 by Editorial Team Author(s): Chew Loong Nian – AI ENGINEER Originally published on Towards AI. Claude Code Runs the Real Ponytail. Cursor and 11 Others Settle for 2,593 Bytes. Ponytail’s own portability doc lists 22 coding agents. I parsed it and counted: only 9 of them get an adapter the agent actually executes. The other 13 get no runnable adapter at all, and twelve of those get nothing but the same rule body — the 2,593-byte AGENTS.md, or a byte-identical copy
