Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.00577 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00289 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00115 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00058 |
Grade A, and why
caveman-help scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Caveman Help
Display this reference card when invoked. One-shot — do NOT change mode, write flag files, or persist anything. Output in caveman style.
Modes
| Mode | Trigger | What change |
|---|---|---|
| Lite | /caveman lite |
Drop filler. Keep sentence structure. |
| Full | /caveman |
Drop articles, filler, pleasantries, hedging. Fragments OK. Default. |
| Ultra | /caveman ultra |
Extreme compression. Bare fragments. Tables over prose. |
| Wenyan-Lite | /caveman wenyan-lite |
Classical Chinese style, light compression. |
| Wenyan-Full | /caveman wenyan |
Full 文言文. Maximum classical terseness. |
| Wenyan-Ultra | /caveman wenyan-ultra |
Extreme. Ancient scholar on a budget. |
Mode stick until changed or session end.
Skills
| Skill | Trigger | What it do |
|---|---|---|
| caveman-commit | /caveman-commit |
Terse commit messages. Conventional Commits. ≤50 char subject. |
| caveman-review | /caveman-review |
One-line PR comments: L42: bug: user null. Add guard. |
| caveman-compress | /caveman-compress <file> |
Compress .md files to caveman prose. Saves ~46% input tokens. |
| caveman-help | /caveman-help |
This card. |
Deactivate
Say "stop caveman" or "normal mode". Resume anytime with /caveman.
Language
Keep user's language by default. User write Portuguese → reply Portuguese caveman. Compress the style, not the language. Technical terms, code, commands, commit types, and exact error strings stay verbatim unless user ask for translation.
Configure Default Mode
Default mode = full. Change it:
Environment variable (highest priority):
export CAVEMAN_DEFAULT_MODE=ultra
Config file (~/.config/caveman/config.json macOS/Linux, %APPDATA%\caveman\config.json Windows):
{ "defaultMode": "lite" }
Set "off" to disable auto-activation on session start. User can still activate manually with /caveman.
Resolution: env var > config file > full.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

caveman-help is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository GktuOktay/ai-skills (2 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 577 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
