caveman

Activate caveman mode, which drops articles, filler, pleasantries, and hedging while keeping code, numbers, units, negations, and error strings exact. Choose lite, full, or ultra intensity; full is the default and stays active until you say stop.

Use the refactor verb with the target file path. A guard script backs up the original out-of-tree, validates that headings, code blocks, URLs, and inline code survive unchanged, and atomically writes the compressed prose only after validation passes.

Yes. The commit verb produces terse Conventional Commits messages emphasizing why over what, and the review verb emits one-line findings in the format L42: tag: problem. fix. Both are one-shot and leave the active intensity level untouched.

Yes. Replies follow the user's dominant language, compressing style rather than language, and a wenyan mode renders classical Chinese at any intensity level. Technical terms, commands, and error strings stay verbatim unless translation is requested.

Avoid it for security warnings, irreversible-action confirmations, and multi-step sequences where fragments risk misreading; the skill automatically drops to full prose for those cases. Short sessions can also be net-negative because the rules themselves cost input tokens each turn.

The script refuses files over 500KB, non-UTF-8 files, empty files, credential or key filenames, and paths inside private directories like .ssh. Its Markdown structural checks do not protect reST, LaTeX, or Typst headings, so structure must be preserved manually there.
