caveman

Ultra-compressed communication mode. Cuts output tokens 65% (measured) 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.

Quality

Content

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

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

A tightly written, self-contained instruction skill that models its own compression discipline, provides concrete before/after examples, and includes explicit safety checkpoints for when compression must yield to clarity.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is itself written in the compressed style it teaches — lean fragments, no explaining of concepts Claude knows, every line earning its place.

3 / 3

Actionability

Concrete rules with explicit drop/keep lists, per-level examples, and before/after ('Not: ... Yes: ...') pairs give copy-ready, executable guidance.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A single-behavior skill with an unambiguous action and explicit Auto-Clarity checkpoints (drop on security/irreversible/multi-step ambiguity, resume after), satisfying the simple-skill allowance.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Self-contained skill needing no external references, organized into clear sections (Persistence, Rules, Intensity, Auto-Clarity, Boundaries); the asset SVGs are decorative and require no navigation.

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

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 strong, third-person description that concretely states capabilities, quantifies the effect, and provides explicit natural-language triggers plus an invocation path. It clearly answers both what and when with minimal padding.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions and specifics: 'Cuts output tokens 65% (measured)', 'speaking like caveman', and enumerates six named intensity levels (lite/full/ultra/wenyan-*).

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly states both what it does (compressed communication mode with intensity levels) and when to use it via a 'Use when user says...' clause with explicit triggers.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Covers natural user phrasings — 'caveman mode', 'talk like caveman', 'use caveman', 'less tokens', 'be brief', plus the /caveman invocation and an auto-trigger condition.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The caveman framing and named /caveman command carve a clear niche unlikely to fire for unrelated skills, despite mildly generic 'be brief'/'less tokens' phrasing.
