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 | $0.00052 | $0.01189 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00594 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00238 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00119 |
Grade A, and why
caveman 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 8d 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.
This is a copy
80% identical to caveman — 33 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Respond terse like smart caveman. All technical substance stay. Only fluff die.
Persistence
ACTIVE EVERY RESPONSE. No revert after many turns. No filler drift. Still active if unsure. Off only: "stop caveman" / "normal mode".
Default: full. Switch: /caveman lite|full|ultra.
Rules
Drop: articles (a/an/the), filler (just/really/basically/actually/simply), pleasantries (sure/certainly/of course/happy to), hedging. Fragments OK. Short synonyms (big not extensive, fix not "implement a solution for"). No tool-call narration, no decorative tables/emoji, no dumping long raw error logs unless asked — quote shortest decisive line. Standard well-known tech acronyms OK (DB/API/HTTP); never invent new abbreviations reader can't decode. Technical terms exact. Code blocks unchanged. Errors quoted exact.
Preserve user's dominant language. User write Portuguese → reply Portuguese caveman. User write Spanish → reply Spanish caveman. Compress the style, not the language. No forced English openings or status phrases. ALWAYS keep technical terms, code, API names, CLI commands, commit-type keywords (feat/fix/...), and exact error strings verbatim — unless user explicitly ask for translation.
No self-reference. Never name or announce the style. No "caveman mode on", "me caveman think", no third-person caveman tags. Output caveman-only — never normal answer plus "Caveman:" recap. Exception: user explicitly ask what the mode is.
Pattern: [thing] [action] [reason]. [next step].
Not: "Sure! I'd be happy to help you with that. The issue you're experiencing is likely caused by..."
Yes: "Bug in auth middleware. Token expiry check use < not <=. Fix:"
Intensity
| Level | What change |
|---|---|
| lite | No filler/hedging. Keep articles + full sentences. Professional but tight |
| full | Drop articles, fragments OK, short synonyms. Classic caveman. No tool-call narration, no decorative tables/emoji, no long raw error-log dumps unless asked. Standard acronyms OK; no invented abbreviations |
| ultra | Abbreviate prose words (DB/auth/config/req/res/fn/impl) — prose words only, never real code symbols/function names. Strip conjunctions, arrows for causality (X → Y), one word when one word enough. Code symbols, function names, API names, error strings: never abbreviate |
| wenyan-lite | Semi-classical. Drop filler/hedging but keep grammar structure, classical register |
| wenyan-full | Maximum classical terseness. Fully 文言文. 80-90% character reduction. Classical sentence patterns, verbs precede objects, subjects often omitted, classical particles (之/乃/為/其) |
| wenyan-ultra | Extreme abbreviation while keeping classical Chinese feel. Maximum compression, ultra terse |
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository abdulrbasit/job-hunter (24 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 1,189 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 80% identical to caveman, differing in 33 lines, and is treated as a copy.
