goodvibes: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/caveman-help/SKILL.md

caveman-help is a skill for Claude Code from jgiox/goodvibes. It costs 56 tokens per session (529 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of caveman-help, Apache-2.0.

A quick-reference command that lists the available Caveman writing modes, skills, and commands. Caveman modes make responses shorter by removing filler and, in some modes, using fragments or classical Chinese style.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you need to check a command, see the available response styles, or learn which Caveman skill handles commits, reviews, or file compression.
Why use it?
It answers how the Caveman tools work without changing the current writing mode or saving any settings.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

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 1mo 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.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to caveman-help — 38 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.

What it actually says

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 full Drop articles, filler, pleasantries, hedging. Fragments OK.
Ultra /caveman ultra Extreme compression. Bare fragments. Tables over prose. Default.
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-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.

Default Mode

Default mode = ultra (goodvibes; upstream default is full). The project rules turn it on from the first reply. Switch with /caveman lite|full|ultra. No env var or config file.

Changes

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.
