Caveman-style tool claims 65% token savings for coding agents
Original: JuliusBrussee/caveman
Developer JuliusBrussee released Caveman, an open-source Go tool on GitHub that acts as a skill and proxy for coding agents like AI assistants. It rewrites the agent's output into terse, 'caveman-style' language, cutting token usage by a claimed 65% and lowering API costs. The humorous framing — 'why use many token when few token do trick' — has helped it spread quickly among developers.
Why now: Developers are interested in cheaply reducing the high token costs of AI coding agents.
