SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Users of the caveman terse-communication system need a fast way to recall available modes, skills, and configuration options without reading full documentation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Mode Reference: Lists all six compression modes (Lite, Full, Ultra, Wenyan-Lite, Wenyan-Full, Wenyan-Ultra) with their triggers and behavior. - Skill Overview: Summarizes companion skills like caveman-commit, caveman-review, and caveman-compress with their triggers. - Configuration Guide: Shows how to set the default mode via the CAVEMAN_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable or a config file. - Use Case: A user forgets how to switch to ultra-compressed output and types "/caveman-help" to see the full command table instantly. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show the caveman help card to see all available modes 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 caveman modes and commands?▼

Trigger the help card with /caveman-help, "caveman help", or "what caveman commands". It displays a one-shot reference of all six modes, four skills, and configuration options without changing your current mode.

What caveman modes are available?▼

Six modes exist: Lite, Full, Ultra, Wenyan-Lite, Wenyan-Full, and Wenyan-Ultra. They range from dropping filler words to extreme fragment compression and full Classical Chinese output.

How do I change the default caveman mode?▼

Set the CAVEMAN_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable or edit ~/.config/caveman/config.json with a defaultMode value. The environment variable takes priority over the config file, which falls back to full.

Does caveman-help change my current mode?▼

No, caveman-help is strictly one-shot. It displays the reference card without writing flag files, changing modes, or persisting any state.

How do I turn off caveman mode?▼

Say "stop caveman" or "normal mode" to deactivate. You can resume anytime with /caveman, and setting defaultMode to "off" disables auto-activation on session start.
