Skill Introduction

Overview

Quick-reference card for all caveman modes, skills, and commands. One-shot display, not a persistent mode. Trigger: /caveman-help, "caveman help", "what caveman commands", "how do I use caveman".

Core value

Turns reusable Documentation know-how into an installable skill, helping users complete github, community, ai, anthropic work faster.

Target users

Developers, testers, and maintainers who handle Documentation tasks in Focus Code.
Teams that already trust workflows or content from JuliusBrussee.
Users who want standardized prompts, steps, or conventions instead of repeating setup work.

Best practices

Read the skill content first to confirm required inputs, expected outputs, and dependencies.
Try it on a small task before relying on it for critical work.
Add project-specific constraints such as coding style, target platform, test expectations, and delivery format.
For external sources, verify the source link, version, and recent maintenance activity.

Best use cases

Tasks related to github, community, ai, anthropic that need a reusable execution flow.
Converting a community repo, team convention, or personal workflow into day-to-day assistance.
Starting from a proven skill instead of writing prompts or procedures from scratch.

Limits and boundaries

Results depend on the quality of the original skill content and may need human correction.
It does not replace code review, tests, security review, or professional judgment.
External tools, APIs, account permissions, and local dependencies still need separate setup.

Differentiation

Structured around Documentation, making it easier to discover and reuse than loose prompt snippets.
Marked as GitHub, which helps users judge trust and maintenance expectations.
Keeps the original source link available for repository, documentation, or discussion follow-up.
Tagged with github, community, ai, anthropic, so it can be filtered by concrete task intent.

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.
