Wire a repository through the Caveman Cloud gateway so every LLM request is measured, with no behavior change. Use for "set up caveman" or adding LLM spend observability.
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
You are wiring this repository through the Caveman gateway. Caveman is a byte-preserving LLM proxy: in record mode it measures what your app sends and what it costs, and changes nothing else. Your job is a minimal, verified integration — not a refactor. The prompt that sent you here provides four values. Refer to them as: - `GATEWAY` — the gateway base URL (e.g. `https://gateway.caveman.so` or `http://127.0.0.1:8787`) - `CAVE_API_KEY` — the gateway auth secret (treat like any API key: env var only, never committed, never printed in full) - `PROVIDER_KEYS` — `stored` (provider keys live encrypted in Caveman Cloud) or `byok` (this app sends its own provider key per request) - `DASHBOARD` — the dashboard base URL (e.g. `https://app.caveman.so`) If any value is missing, stop and ask for it. Do not guess a URL or mint a key. ## Rules (non-negotiable) 1. **Coherent integration.** Wire every live LLM callsite through existing configuration and responsible seams. Touch each layer correctness requires. No drive-by refactors or formatting sweeps; add an abstraction only when it clarifies ownership or lowers lifecycle cost. …

How to install
mdr add juliusbrussee/caveman/caveman-setup@sha256:42c8b8eeba19c6d4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260823.8909f6a, 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.
