AGENTS.md instructions for JuliusBrussee/caveman: Read CLAUDE.md before repository work. Binding routing: this repo owns skills, Engine, and MV3 extension; Agent SDK work belongs in /Users/julb/Desktop/GitHub/caveman-agent-sdk; Browse driver/MCP/benchmark/plugin work belongs in…

Claude Code instructions for JuliusBrussee/caveman, covering claude.md — caveman, readme is a product artifact, project overview, repository routing and what lives where.

Agent
Surgical 1-2 file edit. Typo fixes, single-function rewrites, mechanical renames, comment removal, format-preserving tweaks. Hard refuses 3+ file scope. Returns caveman diff receipt. Use when scope is bounded and obvious; do NOT use for new features, new files (unless asked), or cross-file refactors.
Agent
Read-only code locator. Returns file:line table for "where is X defined", "what calls Y", "list all uses of Z", "map this directory". Output is caveman-compressed so the main thread eats 60% fewer tokens than vanilla Explore. Refuses to suggest fixes.
Agent
Diff/branch/file reviewer. One line per finding, severity-tagged, no praise, no scope creep. Output format path:line: : . . Use for "review this PR", "review my diff", "audit this file". Skips formatting nits unless they change meaning.
Command
Drop the always-on caveman activation rule into the current repo for every IDE agent.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
When to delegate to cavecrew-investigator (locate code), cavecrew-builder (1-2 file edit) or cavecrew-reviewer (diff review) instead of working inline or using Explore. Their output is compressed, so main context lasts longer.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Compress a memory file such as CLAUDE.md or a todo list into caveman format to save input tokens, keeping a readable backup. Trigger: /caveman-compress.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Show real token usage and estimated savings for the current session. Reads directly from the Claude Code session log — no AI estimation. Triggers on /caveman-stats. Output is injected by the mode-tracker hook; the model itself does not compute the numbers.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Ultra-compressed communication mode that cuts output tokens while keeping technical accuracy. Levels: lite, full, ultra and the wenyan variants. Use for /caveman, "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "be brief" or "less tokens".
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Write a Conventional Commits message compressed to intent only. Use for "write a commit", "commit message", /commit or /caveman-commit.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Find and label every LLM workflow in the repository so Caveman Cloud groups spend by workflow instead of one bucket. Use for "discover workflows" or breaking LLM spend down by workflow.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Read-only review of Caveman Cloud evidence: cost, Cave Score, workflows, traces, latency, errors, routing, savings. Use when asked what Caveman found or where LLM spend goes.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Read-only repository explorer for cold-start orientation, broad cross-file localization, or when a direct search failed. Skip it when the exact file or symbol is already named. Returns path:line citations only; its reads stay out of main context.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Quick-reference card for caveman modes, skills and commands. Trigger: /caveman-help or "caveman help".
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Act on a Caveman learn report - review the ranked token sinks, apply cost-lowering fixes with per-edit consent, and report what those fixes returned. Use when asked to lower an agent's token cost, what caveman has saved, to trim a heavy CLAUDE.md, or to offload re-pasted context into cavemem.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Inspect Caveman Cloud's experiment lifecycle and block unsafe execution. Use when asked to start, approve, cancel, promote or roll back a Caveman experiment.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Turn a Caveman optimization observation into an operator-chosen candidate with a paired baseline evaluation. Use when asked to inspect or evaluate a Caveman optimization report. Needs explicit approval.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Compressed code review - one line per finding with location, problem and fix. Use for /caveman-review, "review this PR", or "review the diff".
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Wire a repository through the Caveman Cloud gateway so every LLM request is measured, with no behavior change. Use for "set up caveman" or adding LLM spend observability.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Diagnose ambiguous failures before editing. Use for unknown causes, intermittent behavior, performance regressions, or investigations needing evidence-ranked hypotheses.
