About This Skill
Caveman is a communication-mode Skill for terse, high-signal replies that compress prose without changing code, commands, paths, API names, numbers, versions, or quoted errors.
Quick Start
1Invoke /caveman or state the desired lite, full, ultra, or wenyan mode.
2Keep code, commands, paths, API names, numbers, versions, and quoted errors in their exact form.
3Compress prose scaffolding while expanding risky or ambiguous spans when clarity would otherwise suffer.
4Run the delivery gate before sending and stop the mode with “stop caveman” or “normal mode”.
Example Command
/caveman full
Core Capabilities
Mode persistence
The selected intensity remains active through the task or until the documented stop phrase.
Literal protection
Technical content stays exact while prose wrappers become shorter and more direct.
Dominant-language replies
The candidate preserves the user's language and keeps embedded technical literals in their original form.
Auto-clarity boundary
Security warnings, irreversible actions, ordered sequences, and ambiguity expand when compression would obscure meaning.

# Caveman
This edition derives from Julius Brussee's Caveman Skill v1.9.1 at 0d95a81d35a9f2d123a5e9430d1cfc43d55f1bb0.
## Communication contract
Lead with the result. Compress prose scaffolding, but preserve code, commands, paths, API names, technical terms, numbers, versions, and quoted errors exactly. Keep the selected mode until stop or session end, and expand risky or ambiguous spans when clarity needs it.
The natural individual package remains README.md plus SKILL.md; the complete MIT notice must travel with any approved release.
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
What is Caveman Skill?
Caveman is Julius Brussee's communication mode for terse, high-signal replies that preserve technical substance while removing prose scaffolding.
Which modes are available?
Lite, full, ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, and wenyan-ultra remain available; /caveman wenyan means wenyan-full.
What does Caveman never compress?
The candidate protects code blocks, commands, paths, API and function names, technical terms, numbers, versions, and quoted error text.
Does it always use fragments?
No. Security warnings, irreversible actions, ordered sequences, ambiguity, and any span where compression obscures causality expand into normal prose.
