Talk like caveman

why use many token when few token do trick

Install • Before/After • 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"

| Thing | Caveman Do? | |---|---| | English explanation | 🪨 Caveman smash filler words | | Code blocks | ✍️ Write normal (caveman not stupid) | | Technical terms | 🧠 Keep exact (polymorphism stay polymorphism) | | Error messages | 📋 Quote exact | | Git commits & PRs | ✍️ Write normal | | Articles (a, an, the) | 💀 Gone | | Pleasantries | 💀 "Sure I'd be happy to" is dead | | Hedging | 💀 "It might be worth considering" extinct |

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.
