caveman
A Claude Code skill that cuts ~65% of tokens by talking like a caveman.
About caveman
caveman is a gloriously simple Claude Code skill with a serious payoff: it strips your prompts down to terse, caveman-style phrasing — "why use many token when few token do trick" — and cuts roughly 65% of token usage as a result.
It is half meme, half real optimization. The underlying insight is sound: models do not need your politeness or filler to understand intent, and trimming it saves money on every call. Worth a look if your Claude Code bills are creeping up.
