High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I see all caveman commands and modes?▼

Invoke /caveman-help or say "caveman help" to print a reference card listing every mode (lite, full, ultra, wenyan variants), all sibling skills, and deactivation triggers. It is a one-shot display that changes nothing.

What caveman modes are available?▼

Six modes exist: lite, full (default), ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan, and wenyan-ultra. Each applies progressively stronger compression, from dropping filler words to full classical Chinese terseness.

How do I turn off caveman mode?▼

Say "stop caveman" or "normal mode" to deactivate. You can resume anytime with /caveman, and modes otherwise stick until changed or the session ends.

How do I change the default caveman mode?▼

Set the CAVEMAN_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable, or create ~/.config/caveman/config.json with a defaultMode key. The environment variable takes priority over the config file, which takes priority over the built-in full default.

Does caveman-help change my active mode?▼

No. The help card is strictly one-shot and read-only. It does not flip the active mode, write flag files, or persist anything, so it is safe to invoke mid-session.
