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", "be brief", or invokes /caveman.

Quality

Content

82%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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

A tightly written, on-theme skill body that practices what it preaches and gives concrete rules with a smart clarity-exception checkpoint. Main gap is that two reference files are not surfaced from the top-level SKILL.md.

Suggestions

Add one-line links from SKILL.md to references/compression_principles.md and references/when_caveman_backfires.md (e.g., a '## References' section) so all bundle files are discoverable one level deep.

Consider adding a short worked example for a longer/multi-step answer to show caveman mode surviving across turns, since current examples are single-shot.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is itself a demonstration of the skill: lean fragments, no explanation of concepts Claude already knows, every token earns its place.

5 / 5

Actionability

Concrete, executable guidance via explicit drop/abbreviation lists, the '[thing] [action] [reason]' pattern, and yes/no examples; minor gaps since illustrative examples are not exhaustive.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Single-purpose action is unambiguous with persistence rules and an Auto-Clarity Exception that acts as a checkpoint for destructive ops; not a multi-step workflow needing full validation loops.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Body cleanly signals references/companion_tooling.md as a one-level reference, but compression_principles.md and when_caveman_backfires.md are present in references/ without being linked from SKILL.md, leaving them under-discoverable.

Description

95%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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 crisply states the capability and provides rich, natural trigger phrases. Minor specificity headroom exists but it clearly answers what and when with low conflict risk.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names several concrete mechanisms ('dropping filler, articles, and pleasantries', 'keeping full technical accuracy') rather than vague language, though coverage of the mode's full behavior is not exhaustive.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ('Ultra-compressed communication mode... Cuts token usage ~75%') and when ('Use when user says...') with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Comprehensive natural trigger phrases including synonyms ('caveman mode', 'talk like caveman', 'use caveman', 'less tokens', 'be brief') plus the /caveman invocation.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The 'caveman mode' niche has highly distinct, idiosyncratic triggers that are unlikely to fire for any other skill.
