Compress natural language memory files (CLAUDE.md, todos, preferences) into caveman format to reduce input tokens while preserving structure, URLs, and essential content.
Run the caveman compress workflow on a target memory file to produce a compressed version and a preserved backup.

Reduce token usage in CLAUDE.md memory files by compressing natural language into a compact caveman format. This deterministic process preserves essential content, structure, URLs, and file paths while cutting input token load across sessions.
Yes, compressing memory files preserves URLs, code blocks, file paths, and headings exactly. The compression targets natural language text to shrink input tokens while ensuring critical metadata and structural elements remain intact for Claude sessions.
Yes, you can back up CLAUDE.md before compression because the workflow automatically saves the original file as FILE.original.md. This ensures your uncompressed natural language memory file is preserved before the final overwrite occurs.
Caveman format is a compact text representation that compresses natural language memory files by stripping verbose phrasing while retaining essential instructions. It reduces input tokens for Claude sessions without losing critical structure, URLs, or file paths.
The compress workflow validates compressed memory files using an optional retry workflow before final overwrite. It performs deterministic compression and checks the output to ensure the compressed caveman format maintains the integrity of your original memory file.
A key limitation is that compressing todos and preferences into caveman format alters natural language readability, making the memory files harder for humans to parse directly while remaining functionally clear for Claude sessions.
