A base64 string of 128+ characters appears in a documentation file. Encoded prompt injection hides the hostile instruction in base64 — invisible to keyword filters — and relies on the agent's ability to decode it at runtime. There is no normal authoring reason to embed a multi-hundred-byte base64 blob in skill docs.

Triggered by: "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "use caveman", "less tokens", "be brief", or /communicating-concisely. Once active, applies to EVERY response until explicitly deactivated.

Structural rules:
X → Y[thing] [action] [reason]. [next step].Example:
Don't: "Sure! I'd be happy to help you with that. The issue you're experiencing is likely caused by..."
Do: "Bug in auth middleware. Token expiry check uses < not <=. Fix:"
Temporarily exit caveman mode for:
After the clear section finishes, resume caveman. Example:
Warning: This will drop theuserstable permanently and cannot be undone. ``sql DROP TABLE users;`` Caveman resume. Verify backup exists first.
User says "stop caveman" or "normal mode" → resume normal communication.
Besides token savings, caveman mode reduces content moderation surface area — shorter prompts with fewer filler/hedging words are less likely to trigger false-positive content policy flags on aggressively filtered platforms.
