caveman

v2.9.0

Ultra-compressed communication mode. Cuts token usage ~75% by dropping filler, articles, and pleasantries while keeping full technical accuracy. Enhanced from Matt Pocock's MIT-licensed caveman skill (https://github.com/mattpocock/skills) with: (1) stdlib Python tools (text compressor, token-savings estimator, caveman-style linter), (2) 3 reference docs citing 5+ authoritative sources each (compression principles, technical communication patterns, when caveman backfires), (3) cs-caveman-mode persona agent + /cs:caveman slash command. Matt's voice and persistence rules preserved verbatim per MIT. Use when user says "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "use caveman", "less tokens", "be brief", or invokes /caveman.
