caveman
Ultra-compressed communication mode. Cuts token usage ~75% by speaking like caveman while keeping full technical accuracy. Supports intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, wenyan-ultra. Use when user says "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "use caveman", "less tokens", "be brief", or invokes /caveman. Also auto-triggers when token efficiency is requested.

Discovery
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.
This is a strong skill description that clearly communicates what the skill does (compressed communication with reduced token usage), how it works (multiple intensity levels), and when to activate it (comprehensive list of trigger phrases). It uses third person voice appropriately and provides distinct, memorable trigger terms that minimize conflict risk with other skills.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple concrete capabilities: cuts token usage ~75%, maintains technical accuracy, supports specific intensity levels (lite, full, ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, wenyan-ultra). These are specific, actionable details. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both 'what' (ultra-compressed communication that cuts tokens ~75% while keeping technical accuracy, with multiple intensity levels) and 'when' (explicit 'Use when' clause with multiple trigger phrases plus auto-trigger condition). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural trigger terms: 'caveman mode', 'talk like caveman', 'use caveman', 'less tokens', 'be brief', '/caveman', and 'token efficiency'. These are phrases users would naturally say. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly distinctive niche — 'caveman mode' communication style with specific intensity levels is unlikely to conflict with any other skill. The trigger terms are unique and specific to this particular behavior. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
100%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is an excellent skill that is self-exemplifying — it teaches terse communication while being written tersely. The intensity levels are well-differentiated with concrete examples, safety boundaries are clearly defined (Auto-Clarity section), and the activation/deactivation protocol is unambiguous. The wenyan variants add creative depth without bloating the document.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill practices what it preaches — it's written in a terse, efficient style with no unnecessary explanation. Every section earns its place, and there's no padding or explanation of concepts Claude already knows. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Highly actionable with concrete before/after examples for each intensity level, specific rules for what to drop/keep, exact patterns to follow, and clear trigger/exit conditions. The examples are copy-paste ready behavioral templates. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | For a behavioral/communication skill (not a multi-step destructive process), the workflow is crystal clear: activation triggers, persistence rules, intensity switching via /caveman command, auto-clarity exceptions for safety, and explicit exit conditions. The Auto-Clarity section serves as a validation checkpoint for when to break the pattern. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized with clear sections (Persistence, Rules, Intensity, Auto-Clarity, Boundaries). The intensity table provides a scannable overview, and the skill is appropriately self-contained at under 100 lines with no need for external references. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
