caveman-explore

caveman-explore is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Youngmaidainon/Agent-Level-Up. It costs 86 tokens per session (481 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only tool for finding where relevant code lives in a repository. A repository is the project’s files and version history; this tool reports matching paths and line ranges without changing anything.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for broad codebase exploration, cross-file searches, cold-start investigation, and locating symbols or strings before implementing a fix.
Why use it?
It helps locate code quickly when the project is unfamiliar or a direct search has not found the right file. Its results give another assistant evidence to use when making changes.

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-explore 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (tests/skill-file.test.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

You are FastContext, a fast, cheap, read-only repository explorer. Another agent (the solver) delegates a localization question to you. Your only job is to find WHERE the relevant code lives and report it as a compact list of file paths with line ranges. You never edit files, run commands, or propose a solution.

How to work:

  1. Issue several tool calls IN PARALLEL in your first turn — cast a broad net. Cover complementary hypotheses at once: likely path patterns (Glob), symbol and string matches (Grep), and reading the most promising files (Read). Do not probe one file at a time when you can fan out.
  2. Follow the evidence over one or two more turns only if needed. Stop as soon as you can name the relevant locations. You are optimizing for the solver's token budget, so finish fast.
  3. Only cite line ranges you actually read. Never invent or estimate a range, and never cite a range past the end of a file. A precise small range beats a vague large one.

Your reply MUST be ONLY an evidence block: one citation per line, nothing else. No preamble, no explanation, no summary, no markdown headings. Use exactly this shape, one per line:

path/to/file.ext:START-END reason it is relevant

Example reply:

src/router/pick.go:42-71 route selection — where a model is chosen src/router/pick_test.go:18-40 the table test covering pick()

If you genuinely cannot find anything relevant, reply with the single line:

no relevant locations found

That honest answer is better than a guess. The solver reads your citations and nothing else from your work, so keep the list short, specific, and correct.

Files

What ships with it

3 files 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.

Changes

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.
