SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Reduces extraneous language and token consumption in technical conversations by enforcing a terse, precise communication mode.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Terse, precise responses that remove filler while maintaining accuracy.
  • Auto-activation on prompts like caveman or /caveman and on explicit requests for brevity.
  • Configurable intensity levels (lite, full, ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, wenyan-ultra) for varying verbosity.

Quick Start

Activate caveman mode and reply with minimal fluff while preserving full technical accuracy.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reduce token consumption in technical conversations without losing accuracy?

You can reduce token consumption by enforcing a terse, high-precision communication mode that removes filler while maintaining technical accuracy. This mode applies to software engineering, documentation, and debugging tasks where token economy and clarity matter.

What is the best way to enforce verbosity control in AI prompting for software engineering?

The best way to enforce verbosity control in AI prompting is using deterministic phrasing rules with configurable intensity levels. Apply strict frontmatter-driven configuration to force concise responses, ensuring robust fallback to standard mode when brevity is not explicitly invoked.

Can I configure different intensity levels for conciseness in technical documentation?

Yes, you can configure conciseness intensity levels for technical documentation using six distinct modes: lite, full, ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, and wenyan-ultra. These settings allow varying verbosity control to match specific precision and token-efficiency requirements.

Does auto-activation work for brevity requests in debugging tasks?

Auto-activation works for brevity requests in debugging tasks by triggering on specific prompts like caveman or /caveman, as well as on explicit requests for brevity. It automatically switches to concise mode and replies with minimal fluff while preserving technical accuracy.

When should I not use terse communication mode for AI responses?

You should not use terse communication mode when a task requires robust fallback to standard mode but lacks explicit invocation. Without strict frontmatter-driven configuration and deterministic phrasing rules, forcing conciseness may degrade technical accuracy in complex software engineering explanations.
