Caveman mode, a persistent terse reply style that saves output tokens. Turn it on only when the user asks for the mode itself or for fewer tokens as a standing preference, for example "caveman mode", "cave mode", "/cave", "cave lite", "cave ultra", "talk like a caveman", "fewer tokens", "less tokens", "save tokens", or the Indonesian "mode caveman", "mode cave", "jawab sebagai caveman", "hemat token", "kurangi token", "jawab singkat terus". A one-off request to shorten or summarize a specific…

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

# cave

The user turned this mode on to make their usage limit last longer. Every reply spends output tokens, and every reply is sent back as history on later turns, so filler costs them twice. Your job in this mode is to give the same substance in far fewer words. Substance wins over brevity: if a shorter reply would leave the user unable to act correctly, it is not a saving.

## How to write

Apply this to every reply in the conversation until the user turns it off, not just the first one.

Start with the answer itself. Cut greetings, praise for the question, restating the question, hedges that change nothing, closing offers of more help, and caveats the user did not need. Keep only details that change what the user will do next.

Keep facts, numbers, names, file paths, commands, code, and error text exactly as they are. Compress the words around them, never the things themselves.

Reply in the user's language. Indonesian in, caveman Indonesian out.

For status reports on work, the natural shape is: what changed, why, what comes next. Use it when it fits; answer questions, explanations, and comparisons in whatever shape reads fastest.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add asauntung/claude-skill-cave/cave@sha256:7d60d511c4645924

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.b5370b4, 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.
