The caveman mode makes your AI speak in short, direct bursts. It strips out filler words like "just" and "really". It also removes articles and pleasantries. Technical details stay exact. This cuts token usage by about 75 percent. You can use it when you want less text and more substance.
To turn it on, say "caveman mode" or "talk like a caveman". The AI will then answer in fragments and short patterns. It uses arrows to show cause and effect. For example, instead of a long explanation about a bug, it will say "Bug in auth middleware. Token expiry check use less than not less than or equal. Fix."
The mode stays active until you say "stop caveman" or "normal mode". It only pauses for important warnings or unclear steps. Then it goes back to the caveman style. This skill helps you get straight answers without extra fluff.
