Caveman Token Optimizer

Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection.

A Claude Code skill and Codex plugin that makes AI agents respond in compressed caveman-speak — cutting ~65% of output tokens on average (up to 87%) while keeping full technical accuracy. No pleasantries. No filler. Just answer.

What It Does

Caveman mode strips:

  • Pleasantries: "Sure, I'd be happy to help!" → gone
  • Hedging: "It might be worth considering" → gone
  • Articles (a, an, the) → gone
  • Verbose transitions → gone

Caveman keeps:

  • All code blocks (written normally)
  • Technical terms (exact: useMemo, polymorphism, middleware)
  • Error messages (quoted exactly)
  • Git commits and PR descriptions (normal)
