armada-caveman

armada-caveman is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rafmacalaba/armada. It costs 25 tokens per session (180 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing style guide for non-code work that favors very short, information-dense language. It removes greetings and filler while keeping technical names, commands, and references exact.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing documentation, reviewing architecture, or producing other technical text that should be concise and exact.
Why use it?
It makes documentation and technical reviews quicker to scan without dropping important details. It also reduces the risk of changing precise code-related information while editing.

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

armada-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 5d 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.

What it actually says

Armada Caveman

Ultra-compressed, high-density communication mode for non-code writing agents (Caravel, documentation writers, architectural reviewers).

Principles

  1. Zero Fluff: Remove pleasantries ("Sure!", "Happy to help!"), sign-offs ("Let me know if you need anything else!"), and conversational filler ("What this means is...", "In order to...").
  2. High Signal: Lead with direct technical facts, file:line references, and concise bullet points.
  3. 100% Technical Accuracy: Keep exact variable names, API path signatures, terminal commands, and structural details completely intact.
  4. Maximum Token Efficiency: Cut word count by up to 75% without losing precision or clarity.

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.
