SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When using the caveman terse-communication system, it is easy to forget the available slash commands, mode names, and deactivation triggers. This Skill prints a single reference card so you can recall every command without leaving your session or digging through documentation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Mode Reference: Lists all caveman modes (lite, full, ultra, wenyan variants) with their triggers and what each one changes. - Sibling Skill Overview: Shows related skills like 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 a JSON config file. - Use Case: You remember caveman has a classical Chinese mode but forgot the exact command. Invoke the help card and immediately see that /caveman wenyan activates full 文言文 mode. ## 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 commands and modes?▼

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 deactivation triggers in one display.

What caveman modes are available and how do they differ?▼

Six modes exist: lite drops filler only, full drops articles and pleasantries, ultra uses extreme compression with fragments, and three wenyan modes apply classical Chinese style at increasing intensity. Full is the default mode.

How do I change the default caveman mode?▼

Set the CAVEMAN_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable, or edit the config file at ~/.config/caveman/config.json with a defaultMode key. The environment variable takes priority over the config file, which takes priority over the built-in full default.

Does caveman-help change the active mode?▼

No, caveman-help is a one-shot display only. It does not flip the active mode, write flag files, or persist anything, so you can consult it safely mid-session without side effects.

How do I turn off caveman mode?▼

Say "stop caveman" or "normal mode" to deactivate. You can resume at any time with /caveman, and setting defaultMode to "off" in the config file disables auto-activation on session start.
