SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Long, polite AI responses waste tokens and slow down reading when you only need the technical answer. This Skill switches the assistant into an ultra-compressed communication mode that cuts token usage by roughly 75% without losing technical substance. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Persistent terse mode: Once triggered, every response stays compressed until you explicitly say "stop caveman" or "normal mode". - Aggressive filler removal: Drops articles, pleasantries, hedging, and filler words while keeping code blocks, error messages, and technical terms exact. - Auto-clarity exception: Temporarily reverts to full sentences for security warnings, irreversible action confirmations, and multi-step sequences where fragments could be misread. - Use Case: During a long debugging session, say "caveman mode" to get rapid, dense answers like "Bug in auth middleware. Token expiry check use < not <=." instead of paragraph-length explanations. ## Quick Start Say "caveman mode" or "be brief" to the assistant and it will answer all subsequent questions in compressed, fragment-style responses until you say "stop caveman".

FAQPage Schema
How do I make an AI assistant respond more briefly?

Activate caveman mode by saying "caveman mode", "be brief", or "less tokens". The assistant then drops articles, filler, and pleasantries in every response until you say "stop caveman" or "normal mode".

How much token usage does compressed response mode save?

Caveman mode cuts token usage by roughly 75% according to the Skill description. Savings come from removing articles, filler words, hedging, and pleasantries while keeping all technical content intact.

Does terse mode affect code blocks and error messages?

No. Code blocks remain unchanged and error messages are quoted exactly. Only the surrounding prose is compressed, so technical terms, commands, and snippets stay precise.

When does caveman mode revert to normal sentences automatically?

It temporarily drops compression for security warnings, irreversible action confirmations, multi-step sequences where fragment order risks misreading, and when you ask for clarification. It resumes terse style afterward.

How do I turn off caveman mode once it is active?

Say "stop caveman" or "normal mode". The mode persists across all turns until one of these explicit phrases is used, so it will not drift back on its own.
