  • Opt-in per agent to apply selective output compression.
  • Preserves verbatim technical details (code blocks, file paths, commit messages) while compressing natural language.
  • Use cases include terse diffs, status updates, and concise changelogs for automation agents.

Quick Start

Append the Caveman activation snippet to an agent's markdown file to enable Caveman mode.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make agent outputs terse without losing code blocks and URLs?

To make agent outputs terse without losing detail, you can apply a compression mode that preserves verbatim technical content like code blocks, paths, and URLs while removing filler language from natural prose. This ensures essential technical details remain intact.

How do I reduce verbose prose in markdown automation outputs?

Reducing verbose prose in markdown automation outputs involves applying selective output compression that strips away non-critical words. It compresses natural language while keeping technical identifiers and constraints verbatim for clear, action-oriented status updates.

Can I opt-in to output compression for specific agents only?

Yes, you can opt-in to output compression for specific agents only. The mechanism applies selectively per agent using a fixed whitelist and explicit exclusions, ensuring you define exactly which agents benefit from the terse output mode.

What is the best way to generate concise changelogs and terse diffs for automation agents?

The best way to generate concise changelogs and terse diffs for automation agents is to use an output compression approach that removes filler language while preserving verbatim technical content like commit messages and file paths. This keeps status updates action-oriented.

How do I activate caveman mode for an agent?

To activate caveman mode for an agent, you append the activation snippet to the agent's markdown file. This enables the selective output compression, reducing verbose prose while preserving essential code and identifiers.

Does output compression preserve file paths and commit messages verbatim?

Yes, output compression preserves file paths and commit messages verbatim. While it compresses non-critical natural language words, it ensures that verbatim technical details, code blocks, and URLs are strictly maintained without alteration.
