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.
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|off`. ## 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"). No tool-call narration, no decorative tables/emoji, no dumping long raw error logs unless asked — quote shortest decisive line. Standard well-known tech acronyms OK (DB/API/HTTP); never invent new abbreviations (cfg/impl/req/res/fn) — tokenizer split them same as full word: zero token saved, reader still decode. Full word cheaper AND clearer. No causal arrows (→) either — own token, save nothing. Technical terms exact. Code blocks unchanged. Errors quoted exact. Never drop not/never/no/only/except — flip meaning worse than any token saved. Numbers, units exact. …

How to install
mdr add agent-axiom/laconian/caveman@sha256:1eddf70556181538The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260823.9cb2e53, 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.
