SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Long, verbose AI responses waste tokens and accelerate weekly usage cap exhaustion, especially when dispatching sub-agents or running batch tasks. This Skill enforces an ultra-compressed response style that cuts filler words while preserving full technical accuracy. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Persistent Terse Mode: Once triggered, every response stays compressed across multiple turns until the user explicitly says to stop. - Precision-Preserving Compression: Removes articles, filler, hedging, and pleasantries while keeping technical terms, code blocks, and error messages verbatim. - Auto-Clarity Exceptions: Automatically pauses compression for security warnings, irreversible operation confirmations (DROP, rm -rf, git reset --hard), and ambiguous multi-step sequences. - Use Case: When dispatching Sonnet sub-agents for batch tasks, append "respond in caveman mode" to the prompt so each agent's status report shrinks to lines like "Batch 03 done. pushed:12 failed:1 429:0", cutting per-agent token usage by an estimated 40-60%. ## Quick Start Say "caveman" or "省 token" to activate compressed response mode for the rest of the conversation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reduce token usage in AI assistant responses?

Activate a terse response mode that strips articles, filler words, hedging, and pleasantries while keeping technical content intact. This style of compression can reduce token consumption by roughly 40-75% depending on response verbosity.

How to make sub-agent prompts use fewer tokens?

Append an instruction like "respond in caveman mode" to the sub-agent dispatch prompt. The agent then returns compressed status lines such as "Batch 03 done. pushed:12 failed:1" instead of verbose prose summaries.

Does terse response mode lose technical accuracy?

No. Compression only removes linguistic fluff such as articles and courtesies. Technical terms, code blocks, abbreviations, and quoted error messages remain exact and unmodified.

When should compressed response mode be turned off?

Pause it for security warnings, confirmations of irreversible operations like DROP or rm -rf, and multi-step sequences where fragment order could be misread. It resumes automatically afterward, or the user can say "stop caveman" to end it.

Does terse mode persist across multiple conversation turns?

Yes. Once triggered, the compressed style stays active for every subsequent response and does not revert between turns. It only deactivates when the user explicitly requests normal mode.
