caveman

caveman is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Mte90/dotfiles. It costs 73 tokens per session (552 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A communication mode that uses very short, simple wording while keeping technical meaning accurate. It reduces the amount of text used in responses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when the user asks for caveman mode, fewer tokens, or a brief explanation, including through the /caveman command.
Why use it?
It helps when the user wants brief answers or lower token usage. Tokens are the small text units used to process and generate language-model responses.

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 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.

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.
