Ultra-compressed communication mode. Cuts token usage ~75% by dropping filler, articles, and pleasantries while keeping full technical accuracy.
Attribution
Derived from Matt Pocock's caveman (MIT). Matt's SKILL.md voice + activation triggers + persistence rules preserved verbatim per his MIT license.

Quick start
# Compress text per Matt's rules
python skills/caveman/scripts/caveman_compressor.py "Sure! I'd be happy to help you with that. The issue is..."
# Estimate token savings on a piece of text
python skills/caveman/scripts/token_savings_estimator.py "input text"
# Lint a response to check caveman compliance
python skills/caveman/scripts/caveman_lint.py "response text"
All three tools run with embedded samples if no input provided.
