SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Users of the caveman terse-communication system need a fast way to recall available modes, skills, and commands without reading full documentation or changing their current session state. ## Core Features & Use Cases - One-Shot Reference Card: Displays all caveman modes (Lite, Full, Ultra, Wenyan variants) with triggers and behavior summaries without persisting any state. - Skill and Command Overview: Lists companion skills like caveman-commit, caveman-review, and caveman-compress with their triggers and purposes. - Configuration Guidance: Shows how to set the default mode via the CAVEMAN_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable or ~/.config/caveman/config.json. - Use Case: Mid-session you forget which command activates extreme compression; invoke /caveman-help to see the full command table instantly without altering your active mode. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show caveman help to display the reference card of all caveman modes and commands.

Frequently Asked Questions about caveman-help

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 display the reference card listing every mode, skill, and command. It is a one-shot display that does not change your active mode or persist any state.

What caveman modes are available for terse output?▼

Six modes exist: Lite, Full, Ultra, Wenyan-Lite, Wenyan-Full, and Wenyan-Ultra. Full is the default, dropping articles, filler, and hedging, while Ultra uses extreme compression with bare fragments and tables.

How do I change the default caveman mode?▼

Set the CAVEMAN_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable, which takes highest priority, or edit ~/.config/caveman/config.json with a defaultMode value. Resolution order is environment variable, then config file, then full.

Does caveman-help change my current mode?▼

No, caveman-help is strictly one-shot. It does not change modes, write flag files, or persist anything; your active mode remains untouched after the card displays.

How do I turn off caveman mode?▼

Say "stop caveman" or "normal mode" to deactivate. You can resume anytime with /caveman, and setting defaultMode to "off" in the config disables auto-activation on session start.
