# caveman
|
|
|
|
Talk like smart caveman. Same brain, fewer tokens.
|
|
|
|
## What it does
|
|
|
|
Compress model responses to caveman-style prose by dropping articles, filler,
|
|
pleasantries, and hedging. Instruction preserves technical detail, code blocks,
|
|
error strings, and symbols. Result depends on model and workload; no aggregate
|
|
reduction or quality-equivalence claim is published, and mode persists until
|
|
changed or stopped.
|
|
|
|
Six intensity levels:
|
|
|
|
| Level | What change |
|
|
|-------|-------------|
|
|
| `lite` | Drop filler/hedging. Sentences stay full. Professional but tight. |
|
|
| `full` | Default. Drop articles, fragments OK, short synonyms. |
|
|
| `ultra` | Bare fragments. Abbreviations (DB, auth, fn). Arrows for causality. |
|
|
| `wenyan-lite` | Classical Chinese register, light compression. |
|
|
| `wenyan-full` | Maximum 文言文 compression. |
|
|
| `wenyan-ultra` | Extreme classical compression. |
|
|
|
|
Auto-clarity rule: caveman drops to normal prose for security warnings, irreversible-action confirmations, multi-step sequences where fragment ambiguity risks misread, and when user repeats a question. Resumes after the clear part.
|
|
|
|
## How to invoke
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/caveman # full mode (default)
|
|
/caveman lite # lighter compression
|
|
/caveman ultra # extreme compression
|
|
/caveman wenyan # classical Chinese
|
|
stop caveman # back to normal prose
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example output
|
|
|
|
Question: "Why does my React component re-render?"
|
|
|
|
Normal prose:
|
|
> Your component re-renders because you create a new object reference each render. Wrapping it in `useMemo` will fix the issue.
|
|
|
|
Caveman (full):
|
|
> New object ref each render. Inline object prop = new ref = re-render. Wrap in `useMemo`.
|
|
|
|
Caveman (ultra):
|
|
> Inline obj prop → new ref → re-render. `useMemo`.
