Why

A Claude Code skill that makes Claude talk like a caveman — cutting ~75% of tokens while keeping full technical accuracy.

Based on the viral observation that caveman-speak dramatically reduces LLM token usage without losing technical substance. So we made it a one-line install.

Same fix. 75% less word. Brain still big.

npx skills add JuliusBrussee/caveman

Or with Claude Code plugin system:

claude plugin marketplace add JuliusBrussee/caveman
claude plugin install caveman@caveman

One rock. That it.

Trigger with:

• /caveman
• “talk like caveman”
• “caveman mode”
• “less tokens please”

Stop with: “stop caveman” or “normal mode”

• Save money — 75% less token = 75% less cost on output
• Faster response — less token to generate = speed go brrr
• Same accuracy — all technical info kept, only fluff removed
• Fun — every code review become comedy

Caveman not dumb. Caveman efficient.

Normal LLM waste token on:

• “I’d be happy to help you with that” (8 wasted tokens)
• “The reason this is happening is because” (7 wasted tokens)
• “I would recommend that you consider” (7 wasted tokens)
• “Sure, let me take a look at that for you” (10 wasted tokens)

Caveman say what need saying. Then stop.

If caveman save you mass token, mass money — leave mass star. ⭐

MIT — free like mass mammoth on open plain.
