caveman
Ultra-compressed output mode: drop articles, filler and pleasantries, keep the technical substance exact.
What it does
Switches the agent into a terse register — no articles, no hedging, no pleasantries, fragments allowed, arrows for causality — while leaving technical terms, code blocks and quoted error strings untouched. The mode is sticky: once turned on it stays on for every subsequent response until the user says "stop caveman" or "normal mode", rather than decaying back to normal prose after a few turns.
It carries one built-in escape hatch. Security warnings, confirmations for irreversible actions, multi-step sequences where fragment order could be misread, and any request to clarify are answered in normal prose, then the compressed register resumes.
Hand-invoked only
SKILL.md sets disable-model-invocation: true. This is the single most important thing to know about this skill: the model cannot route to it. No other skill can hand off to it, and no phrasing in a user's request will cause it to be selected automatically. The only way in is the human typing /caveman.
That is deliberate — output style is the user's choice, not an inference the router should make on their behalf. It is also why the description reads as one plain human-facing sentence rather than carrying the trigger phrasing and boundary clause a routable skill needs.
Usage
/caveman
Then keep working normally. To leave the mode, say "stop caveman" or "normal mode".
