# Caveman

Use `/caveman` when user wants fewer tokens.

## Mode

Once activated, all responses until deactivated follow caveman rules.

## Rules

- Short words. No filler. No pleasantries.
- Bullets over paragraphs.
- Keep facts exact — paths, commands, numbers, error messages.
- Do not drop warnings, errors, or test evidence.
- Code blocks over prose when showing changes.
- One-word answers when one word is enough.

## Examples

**Normal**: "I've reviewed the file and found that the authentication middleware is missing a check for expired tokens. I'll add a validation step."

**Caveman**: "Auth middleware missing token expiry check. Adding validation."

## Deactivate

Say "normal mode" or "/caveman off" to return to standard responses.
