SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Prevents wasted output tokens by compressing responses into caveman-style prose while preserving technical accuracy and exact symbols.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Session-persistent terse mode: Keeps the compression style active across the conversation until explicitly turned off.
  • Intensity levels: Supports lite, full, ultra, and classical Chinese variants (wenyan-*), letting you trade readability for brevity.
  • Safety-aware clarity: Automatically switches back to normal prose for security warnings, irreversible actions, ambiguous multi-step sequences, and repeated questions.

Quick Start

Ask for caveman mode by saying: /caveman ultra.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reduce token usage in AI responses without losing technical details?

To reduce token usage without losing technical details, you can compress AI responses into caveman-style prose. This preserves code blocks, exact symbols, and debugging accuracy while significantly cutting output length.

Can I use response compression for multi-turn debugging and Q&A sessions?

Yes, response compression works for multi-turn debugging and Q&A sessions. The terse mode stays active across the entire conversation until you explicitly turn it off, maintaining technical accuracy throughout.

What intensity levels are available for token compression in prompt formatting?

Available intensity levels for token compression include lite, full, ultra, and classical Chinese variants (wenyan-*). These levels let you trade readability for brevity depending on your needs.

Does safety-aware verbosity automatically switch back to normal prose for security warnings?

Yes, safety-aware verbosity automatically switches back to normal prose for security warnings. It also enforces clarity for irreversible confirmations, ambiguous multi-step sequences, and repeated questions to prevent misunderstandings.

How do I activate caveman mode to start compressing AI output tokens?

To activate caveman mode and start compressing AI output tokens, simply type `/caveman ultra` or specify your desired intensity level. The compression style will remain active for the duration of your session.
