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 | $0.00036 | $0.01817 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00908 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00363 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00182 |
Grade A, and why
caveman-internal 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 — 161 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Caveman Internal Skill
Compress prose in Forge's own agent-to-agent artifacts so the autonomous loop spends fewer tokens on coordination and more on actual implementation. This skill is consumed internally by Forge agents (executor, planner, reviewer, verifier) when writing handoff notes, artifact summaries, and review reports. It is NOT a user-facing command and must never be invoked as /caveman.
Scope
In scope (compress these):
.forge/artifacts/{task-id}.jsonartifact descriptions and key_decisions.forge/context-bundles/handoff notes between tasks- Review summaries written by the reviewer agent
- Internal status reports passed between agents
- Token-ledger annotations and state.md "What's Done" entries
Out of scope (ALWAYS use normal verbose mode regardless of intensity):
- All code output (source files, code blocks, diffs, patches)
- Commit messages and PR descriptions
- User-facing spec files in
.forge/specs/ - Security warnings of any kind
- Irreversible action confirmations (deletes, force-pushes, schema drops)
- Error messages humans need to act on
- Anything the user will read directly
Intensity Modes
Three levels. Higher intensity removes more, but technical terms (function names, file paths, identifiers, version numbers, error codes) stay verbatim at every level.
lite
Strip filler words and pleasantries. Keep articles, conjunctions, and full grammar. This is the safest mode and is the default for standard depth tasks.
What ships with it
1 file 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-internal is a skill published in the GitHub repository LucasDuys/forge (55 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 1,817 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-30.
