SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Long, filler-heavy AI responses waste tokens and slow down reading when you only need the technical substance. This Skill cuts token usage by roughly 75% by stripping pleasantries, articles, and hedging while keeping all technical content exact. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Six intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra, plus wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, and wenyan-ultra for classical Chinese compression. - Persistent mode: Stays active across every response until explicitly disabled with "stop caveman" or "normal mode". - Auto-clarity fallback: Automatically reverts to clear language for security warnings, destructive operations, and multi-step sequences, then resumes terse mode. - Use Case: During a long debugging session, say "caveman mode" to get compact answers like "Bug in auth middleware. Token expiry check use < not <=." instead of paragraph-length explanations. ## Quick Start Tell the AI to use caveman mode for the rest of this conversation to get shorter answers.

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", "talk like caveman", or "be brief". The AI drops articles, filler, and pleasantries while keeping all technical content, cutting token usage by roughly 75%.

What intensity levels does caveman mode support?▼

Six levels: lite (no filler, full sentences), full (default, drops articles and uses fragments), ultra (abbreviations and arrows), plus wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, and wenyan-ultra for classical Chinese compression. Switch with /caveman lite|full|ultra.

Does caveman mode stay active for the whole conversation?▼

Yes, it persists across every response until you say "stop caveman" or "normal mode". The chosen intensity level also persists until changed or the session ends.

When does caveman mode revert to normal language automatically?▼

It auto-reverts for security warnings, irreversible action confirmations, and multi-step sequences where fragments risk misreading. Clear language resumes only for that part, then caveman mode continues.

Does caveman mode change code blocks or error messages?▼

No. Code blocks, commits, pull requests, and quoted error messages remain unchanged and exact. Only the surrounding explanatory prose is compressed.
