caveman

Ultra-compressed communication mode. Cuts token usage ~75% by dropping filler, articles, and pleasantries while keeping full technical accuracy. Use when user says "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "use caveman", "less tokens", or invokes /caveman. A one-off "be brief" is not a trigger; this mode persists until switched off.

Quality

Content

100%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

An exceptionally lean, well-structured skill body that delivers concrete rules, a usable pattern template, illustrative examples, and a clear exception clause. It assumes Claude's competence and wastes no tokens.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Exemplary token efficiency — "Respond terse like smart caveman. All technical substance stay. Only fluff die." — with no concept explanations and every token earning its place. Not 2 because there is no unnecessary explanation to tighten.

3 / 3

Actionability

Concrete, executable guidance: explicit drop-lists ("articles (a/an/the)", "filler (just/really/basically/actually/simply)"), specific abbreviations, a pattern template ("`[thing] [action] [reason]. [next step].`"), and Not/Yes examples. Absence of code is fine for an instruction skill.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A simple single-purpose skill that is unambiguous and well-organized (Persistence, Rules, Examples, Auto-Clarity Exception); the exception lists trigger conditions and a resume step, and the destructive example includes the verification note "Verify backup exist first".

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Under 50 lines with no need for external references, organized into clearly labeled sections. Per the simple-skill guideline this is sufficient for a top score.

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A precise, third-person description that clearly states capability, triggers, and persistence behavior with an explicit anti-trigger. It is concise yet complete with no fluff or over-claims.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete mechanisms — "Cuts token usage ~75% by dropping filler, articles, and pleasantries" and "keeping full technical accuracy" — rather than vague language. Not 2 because it is comprehensive and concrete, not partial.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers what ("Ultra-compressed communication mode... Cuts token usage ~75%") and when ("Use when user says... or invokes /caveman"), plus a persistence clause. Not 2 because both what and when are explicit.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Natural user phrases with good variation coverage: "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "use caveman", "less tokens", and "/caveman". Not 2 because common variations are well covered.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Distinct niche with very specific triggers and an explicit anti-trigger ("A one-off 'be brief' is not a trigger"), making wrong-skill activation unlikely.
