Review and audit reports are always in English #1119
Description
The review and audit skills ask for the report in English, whatever language the user writes in:
skills/ponytail-review/SKILL.md:71andskills/ponytail-audit/SKILL.md:71: "Very simple English: short sentences, everyday words."- Their descriptions say each finding is "explained in plain English".
- The condensed prompts in
commands/ponytail-{review,audit}.tomland.opencode/command/ponytail-{review,audit}.mdcarry the same wording.
A user who writes in French, Spanish, Japanese, Korean or Chinese (the README languages) is told to get an English report.
Fix: "Very simple language, in the language the user writes in", and "plain language" in the descriptions, in all copies (OpenClaw regenerated). It is ready on devohmycode:fix/review-audit-user-language.
These files are under skills/, so CONTRIBUTING asks for a three-arm benchmark. For a wording change on review and audit, do you want one, and which task should it use?

Thanks! No benchmark needed, I tested it myself: asked in French or German, Sonnet 5.5 answered in that language in 3 of 8 reviews on main and in 7 of 8 with your branch. Opus 5.5 already followed the language on both. Please send the PR.
