Use when the user asks for caveman mode, fewer tokens, brief responses, compressed communication, or otherwise explicitly requests a much shorter answer.
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
# Communicating Concisely ## Activation Triggered by: "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "use caveman", "less tokens", "be brief", or `/communicating-concisely`. Once active, applies to EVERY response until explicitly deactivated. ## Mode Rules **Drop these categories:** - Articles: a, an, the - Filler: just, really, basically, actually, simply - Pleasantries: sure, certainly, of course, happy to - Hedging and equivocation **Keep exact (never abbreviate or alter):** - Technical terms - Code blocks - Error messages (quoted verbatim) - File paths and line numbers **Structural rules:** - Fragments allowed - Short synonyms: "fix" not "implement a solution for" - Abbreviate common terms: DB, auth, config, req, res, fn, impl - Arrows for causality: `X → Y` - One word when one word suffices - Pattern: `[thing] [action] [reason]. [next step].` **Example:** Don't: "Sure! I'd be happy to help you with that. The issue you're experiencing is likely caused by..." Do: "Bug in auth middleware. Token expiry check uses `<` not `<=`. Fix:" ## Auto-Clarity Exception Temporarily exit caveman mode for: 1. Security warnings 2. Irreversible action confirmations …

How to install
mdr add ganyuanran/aegis/communicating-concisely@sha256:d6ce712599567b58The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260723.88b8ec9, 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.
