SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Long, filler-heavy AI responses waste tokens and slow down reading. This Skill cuts token usage by roughly 75% by stripping articles, filler words, and pleasantries while keeping all technical substance intact. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Six Intensity Levels: Choose from lite, full (default), ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, and wenyan-ultra, including classical Chinese compression modes. - Persistent Mode: Stays active across every response in the session until explicitly disabled with "stop caveman" or "normal mode". - Auto-Clarity Fallback: Automatically reverts to clear language for security warnings, irreversible action confirmations, and multi-step instructions, then resumes terse mode. - Use Case: During a long debugging session, enable caveman mode so every explanation arrives as compact fragments like "Bug in auth middleware. Token expiry check use < not <=", saving context window space for actual code. ## Quick Start Tell the AI to "use caveman mode" or invoke /caveman to start receiving ultra-compressed responses immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions about caveman

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I reduce token usage in AI chat responses?▼

Enable caveman mode by saying "caveman mode", "be brief", or invoking /caveman. The AI drops articles, filler words, and pleasantries while keeping technical terms and code blocks exact, cutting token usage by roughly 75%.

How do I turn off caveman mode?▼

Say "stop caveman" or "normal mode" to revert to standard responses. The mode otherwise persists across every turn of the session and does not drift back on its own.

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, or ultra.

Does caveman mode affect code blocks and error messages?▼

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

When does caveman mode stop being terse automatically?▼

It drops caveman style for security warnings, irreversible action confirmations like destructive database operations, multi-step sequences where fragments risk misreading, and when you ask for clarification. Terse mode resumes afterward.
