About

Caveman is a viral skill plus local proxy that claims to cut coding-agent token usage by up to 65% by making agents communicate tersely, like a caveman: short prompts, short replies, no ceremony. Whether it hits the full 65% on your workload or not, the technique is real and the proxy is Apache 2.0 open source. Worth trying if your agent bills are the bottleneck.
