🪨 why use many token when few token do trick. Viral skill + proxy for coding agents that cuts 65% of tokens by talking like a caveman.
caveman is a skill and proxy for coding agents that shortens unnecessary explanatory prose so agents use fewer tokens while leaving code, commands, paths, and error messages unchanged. It is for people using coding agents who want terse responses and lower token use, including with Claude-based workflows. The catalogue entries contain its skills, commands, agents, instructions, and plugins.
