Summary

  • Ultra-compressed communication mode cuts token usage ~75% by stripping filler while preserving technical accuracy.
  • Activates on user triggers: "caveman mode," "talk like caveman," "less tokens," or /caveman command Drops articles, pleasantries, hedging, and conjunctions; keeps all technical substance, code, and exact terminology Persists across all responses until user says "stop caveman" or "normal mode" Uses fragments, short synonyms, and arrow notation (X -> Y) for causality; temporarily reverts to clarity for security warnings and irreversible actions
