SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When using the caveman terse-output system, it is easy to forget the available slash commands, mode names, and how to deactivate or configure the default mode. This Skill provides an instant one-shot reference card without changing any active state. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Mode Reference: Lists all caveman modes (lite, full, ultra, wenyan variants) with their triggers and effects. - Sibling Skill Overview: Shows related skills like caveman-commit, caveman-review, and caveman-compress with their triggers. - Configuration Guidance: Explains how to set the default mode via the CAVEMAN_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable or a config file. - Use Case: You forgot how to switch to ultra-compressed output mid-session, so you invoke the help card to see every command and deactivation phrase at a glance. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show the caveman help reference 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?▼

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

What caveman modes are available?▼

Six modes exist: lite, full (default), ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan, and wenyan-ultra. Each applies progressively stronger compression, from dropping filler words to full classical Chinese terseness.

Does caveman-help change the active mode?▼

No, caveman-help is strictly one-shot. It only prints the reference card and never flips the active mode, writes flag files, or persists any state.

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 env var, then config file, then full.

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 file disables auto-activation on session start.
