stagewise: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/caveman/SKILL.md

caveman is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from stagewise-io/stagewise. It costs 102 tokens per session (1,460 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A communication style that shortens responses by using very compressed, simple wording while retaining technical meaning. It supports several compression levels and styles.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when the user explicitly asks for caveman mode, fewer tokens, or one of its named communication styles.
Why use it?
It is useful when the reader wants fewer words or has limited space for the response. The description does not specify additional coding capabilities.

Which agent this was written for is unclear — body not stored (licence); the path alone says nothing. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is stagewise-io/stagewise's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on stagewise 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 stagewise configures →

About the project

stagewise is an open-source agentic IDE that combines a coding agent, browser-based app previews, debugging tools, and git workflows in one development environment. Developers use it to build and inspect applications with models from different providers. Catalogue add-ons extend the IDE's agent workflows.

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 11d 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 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.
