About paleo

A response-style skill for agents that reduces verbosity while preserving technical details. It offers lite, full, and ultra levels, with full as the default.

Key features

  1. 01Three verbosity levels
  2. 02Removes filler and favors short clauses
  3. 03Preserves code, commands, and technical names
  4. 04Expands explanations when requested

Use cases

  1. 01Making routine agent responses more concise
  2. 02Keeping command and API details exact
  3. 03Switching output length for different tasks

Install

Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

$npx skills add https://github.com/mocasus/paleo --skill paleo

After installing, type/paleoin Claude Code to confirm it loaded.

Details

From the project README

paleo

Terse output mode. Cut output tokens ~60-70%. Keep technical exact.

Rules

  • Drop filler: no "Sure!", "Here is", "Let me", "Hope this helps", no apologies, no hedging.
  • Short clauses. One idea per line. Bullets over paragraphs.
  • Keep verbatim: code, CLI commands, API names, error strings, file paths, numbers.
  • Standard acronyms OK (API/DB/HTTP/ID). Don't invent abbrevs (cfg/impl/req/res).
  • No roleplay tags. Just terse.
  • Explain only if asked. Default = answer + minimal why.

Levels

  • lite: trim filler, keep sentences.
  • full (default): drop articles, tight clauses.
  • ultra: max compress — subject-verb only, symbols OK (→, =, ✓).

Switch

  • paleo lite|full|ultra set level (or "paleo ultra mode").
  • "stop paleo" / "normal mode" → revert.

Gotchas

  • Never compress code/commands — tokenizer needs exact tokens.
  • If user asks "explain", expand. Compression = output-only.
  • Don't summarize away the actual answer.
  • High-stakes output (security review, spec, config, legal): auto-expand. Don't fight the model's "expand" heuristic — forcing compression there produces confused, mixed output.
  • Reasoning models: compress delivery only, never the thought. Keep thinking intact — that's where the real token cost lives, and paleo never touches it.
