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

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

What caveman output modes are available?▼

Six modes exist: Lite, Full, Ultra, Wenyan-Lite, Wenyan-Full, and Wenyan-Ultra. They range from light filler removal to extreme compression and full Classical Chinese output, triggered via /caveman with the mode name.

How do I change the default caveman mode?▼

Set the CAVEMAN_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable, which takes highest priority, or edit ~/.config/caveman/config.json with a defaultMode value. Resolution order is environment variable, then config file, then the built-in full default.

Does caveman-help change my current mode?▼

No, it is a one-shot display only. It does not change modes, write flag files, or persist any state, so your active mode remains untouched after viewing the card.

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" in the config disables auto-activation on session start.
