SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Long, filler-heavy AI responses waste tokens and slow down reading. This Skill switches the assistant into an ultra-compressed communication mode that drops articles, filler, pleasantries, and hedging while keeping code, error strings, and technical terms exact. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Six intensity levels: lite, full, ultra, plus three wenyan (classical Chinese) variants for maximum character compression. - Auto-clarity fallback: Automatically reverts to normal prose for security warnings, irreversible-action confirmations, and ambiguous multi-step instructions, then resumes compression. - Session persistence: The chosen style applies to every response until the user says "stop caveman" or switches levels. - Use Case: During a long debugging session, enable full mode so every explanation arrives as short fragments like "Bug in auth middleware. Token expiry check use < not <=.", cutting reading time without losing technical detail. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to talk like caveman or enable caveman mode for the rest of this session.

Frequently Asked Questions about caveman

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I make AI responses shorter and more concise?▼

Enable caveman mode by typing /caveman or asking the assistant to talk like caveman. It drops articles, filler words, and pleasantries while keeping code, error strings, and technical terms exact, and the style persists for the whole session.

What compression levels does caveman mode support?▼

Six levels: lite (no filler, full sentences), full (drops articles, fragments allowed), ultra (bare fragments), and three wenyan variants that compress into classical Chinese with increasing terseness. Switch levels with /caveman lite, ultra, wenyan-full, and so on.

Does caveman mode work with languages other than English?▼

Yes. It preserves the user's dominant language and only compresses style. For article-less languages it keeps grammatical particles, and the wenyan levels provide dedicated classical Chinese compression registers.

When does caveman mode stop compressing responses?▼

It automatically drops to normal prose for security warnings, irreversible-action confirmations, ambiguous multi-step sequences, and when the user repeats a question. It resumes compression afterward, and typing "stop caveman" ends the mode entirely.

Does caveman mode change code, commits, or documentation?▼

No. Compression applies only to chat responses. Code blocks, comments, commit messages, docs, issue and bug report text are always written in normal prose, and code, API names, and error strings are never altered.
