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 | $0.00098 | $0.00893 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00049 | $0.00447 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00179 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00089 |
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 2d 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
91% identical to caveman — 20 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 — 67 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"). Technical terms exact. Code blocks unchanged. Errors quoted exact.
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 |
| ultra | Abbreviate (DB/auth/config/req/res/fn/impl), strip conjunctions, arrows for causality (X → Y), one word when one word enough |
| 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 |
Example — "Why React component re-render?"
- lite: "Your component re-renders because you create a new object reference each render. Wrap it in
useMemo." - full: "New object ref each render. Inline object prop = new ref = re-render. Wrap in
useMemo." - ultra: "Inline obj prop → new ref → re-render.
useMemo." - wenyan-lite: "組件頻重繪，以每繪新生對象參照故。以 useMemo 包之。"
- wenyan-full: "物出新參照，致重繪。useMemo .Wrap之。"
- wenyan-ultra: "新參照→重繪。useMemo Wrap。"
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 ArogyaReddy/https-github.com-JuliusBrussee-caveman (4 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 98 tokens to every session and 893 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 91% identical to caveman, differing in 20 lines, and is treated as a copy.
