Summary

why use many token when few token do trick Install โ€ข Before/After โ€ข Why A Claude Code skill that makes Claude talk like a caveman โ€” cutting ~75% of tokens while keeping full technical accuracy. Based on the viral observation that caveman-speak dramatically reduces LLM token usage without losing technical substance. So we made it a one-line install. ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Normal Claude (69 tokens) "The reason your React component is re-rendering is likely because you're creating a new object reference on each render cycle. When you pass an inline object as a prop, React's shallow comparison sees it as a different object every time, which triggers a re-render. I'd recommend using useMemo to memoize the object." ๐Ÿชจ Caveman Claude (19 tokens) "New object ref each render. Inline object prop = new ref = re-render. Wrap in useMemo." "Sure! I'd be happy to help you with that. The issue you're experiencing is most likely caused by your authentication middleware not properly validating the token expiry. Let me take a look and suggest a fix." "Bug in auth middleware. Token expiry check use < not <=. Fix:" Same fix. 75% less word. Brain still big. npx skills add JuliusBrussee/caveman Or with Claude Code plugin system: claude plugin marketplace add JuliusBrussee/caveman claude plugin install caveman@caveman One rock. That it. Trigger with: /caveman "talk like caveman" "caveman mode" "less tokens please" Stop with: "stop caveman" or "normal mode" Thing Caveman Do?
