SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Long, filler-heavy AI responses waste output tokens and slow down reading. This Skill cuts output tokens by roughly 65% by stripping articles, filler words, pleasantries, and hedging while keeping all technical substance, code, and error strings intact. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Six intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra, plus three classical Chinese (wenyan) variants for maximum character compression. - Persistent mode: Stays active across every response in the session until the user says "stop caveman" or "normal mode". - Auto-clarity fallback: Automatically drops compression for security warnings, irreversible action confirmations, and multi-step sequences where fragments could cause misreading. - Use Case: During a long debugging session, say "caveman mode" to get terse, high-signal answers like "Bug in auth middleware. Token expiry check use < not <=." instead of paragraph-length explanations. ## Quick Start Say "caveman mode" or "use caveman" to switch the assistant into ultra-compressed responses for the rest of the session.

Frequently Asked Questions about caveman

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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

Activate caveman mode by saying "caveman mode", "be brief", or "/caveman". The assistant drops articles, filler words, and pleasantries while keeping all technical content, code, and error messages exact, cutting output tokens by roughly 65%.

How do I change the compression level in caveman mode?▼

Use /caveman followed by a level: lite, full, ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, or wenyan-ultra. Full is the default; lite keeps full sentences, ultra strips conjunctions, and wenyan levels compress into classical Chinese.

Does caveman mode work in languages other than English?▼

Yes, it preserves the user's dominant language and only compresses the style. Portuguese input gets Portuguese caveman replies, and the wenyan levels provide classical Chinese compression. Technical terms, code, and API names always stay verbatim.

When does caveman mode turn off automatically?▼

It temporarily drops compression for security warnings, irreversible action confirmations, and multi-step sequences where fragments could cause misreading, then resumes afterward. It fully turns off only when you say "stop caveman" or "normal mode".

Does caveman mode change code blocks or error messages?▼

No. Code blocks, commit messages, PRs, API names, CLI commands, and exact error strings are always written normally and verbatim. Only the surrounding prose is compressed.
