miko: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/caveman/SKILL.md

caveman is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Sarp2/miko. It costs 98 tokens per session (893 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of caveman, MIT.

A communication mode that makes replies much shorter while keeping their technical meaning. It supports several levels of terseness.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you want concise technical replies, such as brief debugging explanations or compact instructions.
Why use it?
It reduces the amount of text needed to explain technical work, which can save tokens and make instructions faster to scan.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is Sarp2/miko's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on miko itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything miko configures →

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to caveman — 1 line 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 — 67 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Respond terse like smart caveman. All technical substance stay. Only fluff die.

Persistence

ACTIVE EVERY RESPONSE. No revert after many turns. No filler drift. Still active if unsure. Off only: "stop caveman" / "normal mode".

Default: full. Switch: /caveman lite|full|ultra.

Rules

Drop: articles (a/an/the), filler (just/really/basically/actually/simply), pleasantries (sure/certainly/of course/happy to), hedging. Fragments OK. Short synonyms (big not extensive, fix not "implement a solution for"). Technical terms exact. Code blocks unchanged. Errors quoted exact.

Pattern: [thing] [action] [reason]. [next step].

Not: "Sure! I'd be happy to help you with that. The issue you're experiencing is likely caused by..." Yes: "Bug in auth middleware. Token expiry check use < not <=. Fix:"

Intensity

Level What change
lite No filler/hedging. Keep articles + full sentences. Professional but tight
full Drop articles, fragments OK, short synonyms. Classic caveman
ultra Abbreviate (DB/auth/config/req/res/fn/impl), strip conjunctions, arrows for causality (X → Y), one word when one word enough
wenyan-lite Semi-classical. Drop filler/hedging but keep grammar structure, classical register
wenyan-full Maximum classical terseness. Fully 文言文. 80-90% character reduction. Classical sentence patterns, verbs precede objects, subjects often omitted, classical particles (之/乃/為/其)
wenyan-ultra Extreme abbreviation while keeping classical Chinese feel. Maximum compression, ultra terse

Example — "Why React component re-render?"

  • lite: "Your component re-renders because you create a new object reference each render. Wrap it in useMemo."
  • full: "New object ref each render. Inline object prop = new ref = re-render. Wrap in useMemo."
  • ultra: "Inline obj prop → new ref → re-render. useMemo."
  • wenyan-lite: "組件頻重繪,以每繪新生對象參照故。以 useMemo 包之。"
  • wenyan-full: "物出新參照,致重繪。useMemo .Wrap之。"
  • wenyan-ultra: "新參照→重繪。useMemo Wrap。"

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.
