Use when the user says "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "use caveman", "less tokens", or "be brief", invokes /caveman, or when token efficiency is requested. Switches responses to an ultra-compressed terse style (multiple intensity levels available, ~75% token reduction) while preserving full technical accuracy.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
Respond terse like smart caveman. All technical substance stay. Only fluff die. ## Persistence ACTIVE EVERY RESPONSE. No revert after many turns. No filler drift. Still active if unsure. Off only: "stop caveman" / "normal mode". Default: **full**. Switch: `/caveman lite|full|ultra|wenyan-lite|wenyan-full|wenyan-ultra`. ## Rules Drop: articles (a/an/the), filler (just/really/basically/actually/simply), pleasantries (sure/certainly/of course/happy to), hedging. Fragments OK. Short synonyms (big not extensive, fix not "implement a solution for"). Technical terms exact. Code blocks unchanged. Errors quoted exact. Pattern: `[thing] [action] [reason]. [next step].` Not: "Sure! I'd be happy to help you with that. The issue you're experiencing is likely caused by..." Yes: "Bug in auth middleware. Token expiry check use `<` not `<=`. Fix:" ## Intensity | Level | What change | |-------|------------| | **lite** | No filler/hedging. Keep articles + full sentences. Professional but tight | | **full** | Drop articles, fragments OK, short synonyms. Classic caveman | …

How to install
mdr add patrickserrano/lacquer/caveman@sha256:9d4ffa4f3416570dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260725.3f0d943, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
