SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When using the caveman terse-output system, it is easy to forget the available slash commands, mode names, and deactivation triggers. This Skill prints a compact reference card so you can recall every command without leaving your session or digging through documentation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Mode Reference: Lists all caveman modes (lite, full, ultra, wenyan variants) with their triggers and compression behavior. - Sibling Skill Index: Shows related skills like caveman-commit, caveman-review, and caveman-compress with their invocation commands. - Configuration Guide: Explains how to set the default mode via the CAVEMAN_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable or a JSON config file. - Use Case: You remember caveman has a classical Chinese mode but forgot the exact command. Invoke the help card and immediately see that /caveman wenyan activates full 文言文 output. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show the caveman help reference card to see all available 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 available caveman modes and commands?▼

Invoke /caveman-help or say "caveman help" to print the full reference card. It lists every mode (lite, full, ultra, wenyan variants), all sibling skills, and deactivation triggers in one compact display.

What caveman modes are available for terse output?▼

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

Does caveman-help change the active mode when invoked?▼

No, it is a one-shot display only. It does not flip the active mode, write flag files, or persist any state; the current mode stays exactly as it was before invocation.

How do I change the default caveman mode?▼

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

How do I turn off caveman mode during a session?▼

Say "stop caveman" or "normal mode" to deactivate it. You can resume at any time by invoking /caveman again, and the previously selected mode behavior applies.
