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

ModeTriggerWhat change
Lite/caveman liteDrop filler. Keep sentence structure.
Full/caveman fullDrop articles, filler, pleasantries, hedging. Fragments OK.
Ultra/caveman or /caveman ultraExtreme compression. Bare fragments. Tables over prose. Default.
Supra/caveman supra (legacy: /caveman super-compress)Extra-aggressive compression. Shortest safe answer.
Silence/caveman silenceMinimum viable answer. One line if enough.

Mode stick until changed or session end.

Skills

SkillTriggerWhat it do
caveman-commit/caveman-commitTerse commit messages. Conventional Commits. ≤50 char subject.
caveman-review/caveman-reviewOne-line PR comments: L42: bug: user null. Add guard.

caveman-help/caveman-helpThis card.

Deactivate

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

Language

Keep user's language by default. User write Portuguese → reply Portuguese caveman. Compress the style, not the language. Technical terms, code, commands, commit types, and exact error strings stay verbatim unless user ask for translation.

Configure Default Mode

Default mode = ultra. 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 > ultra.
