Summary

Quick-reference card for caveman modes, skills, and commands with one-shot display.

  • Six modes available: Lite, Full (default), Ultra, Wenyan-Lite, Wenyan-Full, and Wenyan-Ultra, each progressively compressing output from light article-dropping to extreme classical Chinese terseness
  • Four skills included: caveman-commit for terse conventional commits, caveman-review for one-line PR feedback, caveman-compress for markdown token reduction, and caveman-help for this reference
  • Modes persist until changed or session end; deactivate with "stop caveman" or "normal mode"
  • Default mode configurable via environment variable or config file at ~/.config/caveman/config.json

Caveman Help

Display this reference card when invoked. One-shot — do NOT change mode, write flag files, or persist anything. Output in caveman style.

Modes

Mode Trigger What change
caveman /caveman The voice. Answer first, no fluff, every fact kept. Default.
ultracave /ultracave (alias /caveman ultra) Grammar stripped. Fragments, one word when enough, each fact once.
megacave /megacave (alias /caveman wenyan) Classical Chinese 文言文. Far fewer characters, technical terms verbatim.

Mode stick until changed or session end. /caveman status reports current mode without changing it. Claude Code and the standalone OpenCode plugin read stored state; other hosts answer from the conversation and mark it (not tracked by this host).
