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 output tokens by roughly 65% by stripping articles, filler, and pleasantries while keeping code, errors, and technical terms exact. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Six Intensity Levels: Choose lite, full (default), ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, or wenyan-ultra, including classical Chinese compression modes. - Persistent Mode: Stays active across every response in the session until you say "stop caveman" or "normal mode". - Auto-Clarity Fallback: Automatically reverts to normal prose for security warnings, irreversible action confirmations, and ambiguous multi-step sequences. - Use Case: During a long debugging session, enable full mode so every diagnosis arrives as terse fragments like "Bug in auth middleware. Token expiry check use < not <=" instead of paragraph-length explanations. ## Quick Start Tell the AI "use caveman mode" or invoke /caveman to start receiving ultra-compressed responses immediately.

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

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

Enable caveman mode by saying "caveman mode" or invoking /caveman. The assistant drops articles, filler, and pleasantries, cutting output tokens by roughly 65% while keeping code, errors, and technical terms exact.

How do I turn off caveman mode or change its intensity?▼

Say "stop caveman" or "normal mode" to revert to standard responses. Switch intensity anytime with /caveman lite, full, ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, or wenyan-ultra; the level persists until changed or the session ends.

Does caveman mode work in languages other than English?▼

Yes, it preserves the user's dominant language and compresses style rather than switching languages. Dedicated wenyan modes apply classical Chinese compression, and grammar-carrying particles are kept in languages where they carry meaning.

When does caveman mode automatically revert to normal prose?▼

It drops compression for security warnings, irreversible action confirmations, multi-step sequences where fragments risk misreading, and cases where compression creates technical ambiguity. Caveman style resumes after the clear part is done.

Does caveman mode affect code, commits, and documentation?▼

No, persisted artifacts stay in normal prose. Code, comments, commit messages, docs, issue and PR text, and memory files are written normally; only chat responses are compressed.
