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 | |------|---------|-------------| | **Lite** | `/caveman lite` | Drop filler. Keep sentence structure. | | **Full** | `/caveman` | Drop articles, filler, pleasantries, hedging. Fragments OK. Default. | | **Ultra** | `/caveman ultra` | Extreme compression. Bare fragments. Tables over prose. | | **Wenyan-Lite** | `/caveman wenyan-lite` | Classical Chinese style, light compression. | | **Wenyan-Full** | `/caveman wenyan` | Full 文言文. Maximum classical terseness. | | **Wenyan-Ultra** | `/caveman wenyan-ultra` | Extreme. Ancient scholar on a budget. |

Mode stick until changed or session end.

Skills

| Skill | Trigger | What it do | |-------|---------|-----------| | **caveman-commit** | `/caveman-commit` | Terse commit messages. Conventional Commits. ≤50 char subject. | | **caveman-review** | `/caveman-review` | One-line PR comments: `L42: bug: user null. Add guard.` | | **caveman-compress** | `/caveman-compress <file>` | Compress .md files to caveman prose. Saves ~46% input tokens. | | **caveman-help** | `/caveman-help` | This card. |

Deactivate

Say "stop caveman" or "normal mode". Resume anytime with `/caveman`.

Configure Default Mode

Default mode = `full`. Change it:

**Environment variable** (highest priority):

export CAVEMAN_DEFAULT_MODE=ultra

**Config file** (`~/.config/caveman/config.json`):

{ "defaultMode": "lite" }

Set `"off"` to disable auto-activation on session start. User can still activate manually with `/caveman`.

Resolution: env var > config file > `full`.
