Ultra-compressed communication mode — drops filler, articles, pleasantries while keeping technical accuracy. Use when user says "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "less tokens", "be brief", or invokes /caveman.

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 once triggered. No revert after many turns. No filler drift. Still active if unsure. Off only when user says "stop caveman" or "normal mode".

## 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"). Abbreviate common terms (DB/auth/config/req/res/fn/impl). Strip conjunctions. Use arrows for causality (X -> Y). One word when one word enough.

Technical terms stay 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:"

### Examples

**"Why React component re-render?"**

> Inline obj prop -> new ref -> re-render. `useMemo`.

**"Explain database connection pooling."**

> Pool = reuse DB conn. Skip handshake -> fast under load.

## Auto-Clarity Exception

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ralvarez-ai/ralvaskills/caveman@sha256:b739932c53ee805a

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
