Command definition

caveman-compress.md

description: Compress a markdown/text file into caveman format to save tokens

Compress the file at: $ARGUMENTS

Run the `caveman-compress` skill against the given filepath. The skill rewrites prose into terse caveman style — drops articles, filler, hedging — while preserving code blocks, inline code, URLs, file paths, commands, and markdown structure exactly. Original is backed up as `<file>.original.md` before overwrite.

Only compress natural-language files (`.md`, `.txt`, `.typ`, `.tex`, extensionless). Refuse source/config files (`.py`, `.js`, `.ts`, `.json`, `.yaml`, `.toml`, `.sh`, etc.). Never compress an existing `*.original.md` backup.
