SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Users of the caveman response-compression system often forget the available slash commands, mode names, and deactivation triggers. This Skill prints a one-shot cheat sheet covering every mode, sibling skill, and configuration method without changing the active mode or persisting any state. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Mode Reference: Lists all six caveman modes (lite, full, ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan, wenyan-ultra) with their triggers and compression behavior. - Sibling Skill Index: Shows related skills such as caveman-commit, caveman-review, and caveman-compress with their invocation commands. - Configuration Guidance: Explains how to set the default mode via the CAVEMAN_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable or the ~/.config/caveman/config.json file. - Use Case: Mid-session you forget how to switch to the classical Chinese mode or how to turn caveman off; invoke the help card to see every command and the "stop caveman" deactivation phrase instantly. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show the caveman help reference card to list all available modes, skills, and commands.

Frequently Asked Questions about caveman-help

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I see all available caveman modes and commands?▼

Invoke /caveman-help or say "caveman help" to print the full reference card. It lists every mode (lite, full, ultra, wenyan variants), all sibling skills, and the deactivation phrases in one display.

What is the difference between caveman lite, full, and ultra modes?▼

Lite drops filler words but keeps sentence structure. Full removes articles, filler, and hedging and allows fragments, and is the default. Ultra applies extreme compression with bare fragments and tables over prose.

Does caveman-help change the active mode when invoked?▼

No, caveman-help is a one-shot display only. It does not flip the active mode, write flag files, or persist anything; the current mode stays unchanged after the card prints.

How do I turn off caveman mode during a session?▼

Say "stop caveman" or "normal mode" to deactivate. You can resume at any time with /caveman, and the help card lists these triggers for reference.

How do I change the default caveman mode?▼

Set the CAVEMAN_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable, which takes highest priority, or create ~/.config/caveman/config.json with a defaultMode key. Setting it to "off" disables auto-activation while still allowing manual activation.
