SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Long, filler-heavy AI responses waste tokens and slow down reading. This Skill cuts output tokens by roughly 65% by stripping articles, filler, pleasantries, and hedging while keeping every technical detail, code block, and error string exact. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Six Intensity Levels: Choose from lite, full (default), ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, and wenyan-ultra to control compression from light trimming to extreme Classical Chinese terseness. - Auto-Clarity Fallback: Automatically reverts to normal prose for security warnings, irreversible-action confirmations, and ambiguous multi-step sequences, then resumes compression afterward. - Language Preservation: Compresses style without switching languages, keeping technical terms, code, API names, and error strings verbatim. - Use Case: During a long debugging session, activate full mode so every explanation arrives as short fragments like "Bug in auth middleware. Token expiry check use < not <=", cutting reading time without losing precision. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to talk like caveman or invoke /caveman to enable compressed responses for the rest of the session.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make AI responses shorter and use fewer tokens?

Invoke /caveman or say "talk like caveman" to enable compressed output. The default full mode drops articles, filler, and hedging, cutting output tokens by about 65% while keeping code and technical terms exact.

What compression levels does caveman mode support?

Six levels exist: lite, full, ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, and wenyan-ultra. Lite keeps full sentences, ultra uses bare fragments, and the wenyan levels apply Classical Chinese compression up to 80-90% character reduction.

Does caveman mode work in languages other than English?

Yes, it preserves the user's dominant language and compresses only the style. Portuguese or Spanish input gets Portuguese or Spanish caveman output, and the wenyan levels produce Classical Chinese registers.

When does caveman mode stop compressing responses?

It automatically drops to normal prose for security warnings, irreversible-action confirmations, ambiguous multi-step sequences, and repeated questions. It resumes compression after the clarity-critical part is done.

How do I turn off caveman mode?

Say "stop caveman" or "normal mode" to revert to standard prose. Otherwise the mode persists for the entire session, and the chosen intensity level stays active until changed.
