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 | $0.00056 | $0.00613 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00245 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00123 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00061 |
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.
This is a copy
88% identical to caveman-help — 31 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 — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
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 |
Drop articles, filler, pleasantries, hedging. Fragments OK. Default. |
| Ultra | /caveman ultra |
Extreme compression. Bare fragments. Tables over prose. |
| 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-compress | /caveman-compress <file> |
Compress .md files to caveman prose. Saves ~46% input tokens. |
| 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.
Configure Default Mode
Default mode = full. Change it:
Environment variable (highest priority):
export CAVEMAN_DEFAULT_MODE=ultra
Config file (~/.config/caveman/config.json):
{ "defaultMode": "lite" }
Set "off" to disable auto-activation on session start. User can still activate manually with /caveman.
Resolution: env var > config file > full.

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.

Other skills, from other repositories
github
Manages all git operations (commit, push, branch management, PR creation) in a standardized, safe, and consistent way. Automatically runs the code-review skill before any commit. Enforces Conventional Commits standard. Handles the full lifecycle: branch → review → commit → push → PR.
architecture-review
Before committing to an implementation plan, run this skill to stress-test the proposed architecture. Catches over-engineering, circular dependencies, missing failure modes, security gaps, and scalability cliffs — before any code is written. Acts as a "second eye" on the plan.
brainstorming
TÜRKÇE AÇIKLAMA ─────────────── Bu skill, bir fikir veya problemi Sokratik yöntemle rafine eder. Agent sana cevap vermez — sorular sorar. Bu sorular aracılığıyla fikrin netleşir, varsayımlar sorgulanır, kapsam belirlenir ve gerçek ihtiyaç ortaya çıkar. "Ne yapalım?" sorusunu "Tam olarak ne yapmamız gerekiyor ve…
code-review
Systematic code review skill covering both requesting a review (pre-commit checklist) and receiving and responding to review feedback. Checks code quality, security, test coverage, architectural alignment, and documentation before any code is committed.
dependency-audit
Periodically scan project dependencies for security vulnerabilities, outdated packages, and unused dependencies. Produces a prioritized action report. Run before every major release and at least once per month.
incident-response
When something breaks in production: triage the severity, gather evidence, identify root cause, deploy a fix or mitigation, and write a post-mortem. Provides a calm, structured process for high-stress moments.
