caveman
Open-source skill that makes AI coding agents answer in terse caveman speak, cutting output tokens by 65% on average (22-87% by task) while keeping code, commands, and error strings byte-for-byte exact. Six intensity levels from lite to classical-Chinese wenyan. Works across Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Gemini CLI, Copilot, and 30+ agents. 86.9k GitHub stars, MIT license, no telemetry. Note: compresses output tokens only; the skill adds roughly 1-1.5k input tokens per turn, so whole-session savings run smaller than the headline.
