🪨 why use many token when few token do trick. Viral skill + proxy for coding agents that cuts 65% of tokens by talking like a caveman.
Caveman is a prompt skill plus proxy for AI coding agents that makes them write tersely, in caveman-style speech, cutting token usage by roughly 65% and lowering LLM API costs. It installs with one command, works with 30+ agents, and ships as an npm/PyPI middleware you can also embed in your own apps.
Why now: It went viral — #1 on GitHub Trending and Hacker News — and was backed by an Adobe Research paper and JetBrains testing showing big cost savings with no measurable quality loss.
Who it is for: Developers using AI coding agents like Claude Code who want to cut token bills without changing tools.
