Caveman is a Claude Code skill and proxy that tries to cut token use by making the agent talk in short, blunt phrases. The repository's own pitch says it reduces tokens by 65 percent, which is the maintainer's figure and not something we measured. It is Apache 2.0 licensed, comes from Julius Brussee, and has 116.3 thousand stars. The README offers several installs, starting with npx @caveman-ai/cli@latest. We find it a useful reminder that output length costs money, and a fair experiment for anyone watching a usage bill. The trade is readability: terse replies are harder to skim when you are reviewing a long change, and a model told to be brief may skip reasoning you wanted to see. Try it on one task before making it a default. Last push 30 October 2026.
