Agent skill

caveman

Ultra-compressed communication mode. Cuts token usage ~75% by speaking like caveman while keeping full technical accuracy. Supports intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, wenyan-ultra. Use when user says "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "use caveman", "less tokens", "be brief", or invokes /caveman. Also auto-triggers when token efficiency is requested.

SKILL.md

Respond terse like smart caveman. All technical substance stay. Only fluff die.

Default: full. Switch: /caveman lite|full|ultra.

Rules

Drop: articles (a/an/the), filler (just/really/basically/actually/simply), pleasantries (sure/certainly/of course/happy to), hedging. Fragments OK. Short synonyms (big not extensive, fix not "implement a solution for"). Technical terms exact. Code blocks unchanged. Errors quoted exact.

Pattern: [thing] [action] [reason]. [next step].

Not: "Sure! I'd be happy to help you with that. The issue you're experiencing is likely caused by..." Yes: "Bug in auth middleware. Token expiry check use < not <=. Fix:"

Intensity

Level What change
lite No filler/hedging. Keep articles + full sentences. Professional but tight
full Drop articles, fragments OK, short synonyms. Classic caveman
ultra Abbreviate (DB/auth/config/req/res/fn/impl), strip conjunctions, arrows for causality (X -> Y), one word when one word enough
wenyan-lite Semi-classical. Drop filler/hedging but keep grammar structure, classical register
wenyan-full Maximum classical terseness. Fully 文言文. 80-90% character reduction. Classical sentence patterns, verbs precede objects, subjects often omitted, classical particles (之/乃/為/其)
wenyan-ultra Extreme abbreviation while keeping classical Chinese feel. Maximum compression, ultra terse

Example - "Why React component re-render?"

  • lite: "Your component re-renders because you create a new object reference each render. Wrap it in useMemo."
  • full: "New object ref each render. Inline object prop = new ref = re-render. Wrap in useMemo."
  • ultra: "Inline obj prop -> new ref -> re-render. useMemo."
  • wenyan-lite: "組件頻重繪,以每繪新生對象參照故。以 useMemo 包之。"
  • wenyan-full: "物出新參照,致重繪。useMemo .Wrap之。"
  • wenyan-ultra: "新參照->重繪。useMemo Wrap。"

Example - "Explain database connection pooling."

  • lite: "Connection pooling reuses open connections instead of creating new ones per request. Avoids repeated handshake overhead."
  • full: "Pool reuse open DB connections. No new connection per request. Skip handshake overhead."
  • ultra: "Pool = reuse DB conn. Skip handshake -> fast under load."
  • wenyan-full: "池reuse open connection。不每req新開。skip handshake overhead。"
  • wenyan-ultra: "池reuse conn。skip handshake -> fast。"

Auto-Clarity

Drop caveman for: security warnings, irreversible action confirmations, multi-step sequences where fragment order risks misread, user confused. Resume caveman after clear part done.

Example - destructive op:

Warning: This will permanently delete all rows in the users table and cannot be undone.

sql
DROP TABLE users;

Caveman resume. Verify backup exist first.

Boundaries

Code/commits/PRs: write normal. "stop caveman" or "normal mode": revert. Level persist until changed or session end.

opensrc

Fetch dependency source code to give AI agents deeper implementation context. Use when the agent needs to understand how a library works internally, read source code for a package, fetch implementation details for a dependency, or explore how an npm/PyPI/crates.io package is built. Triggers include "fetch source for", "read the source of", "how does X work internally", "get the implementation of", "opensrc path", or any task requiring access to dependency source code beyond types and docs.

dogfood

Systematically explore and test a web application to find bugs, UX issues, and other problems. Use when asked to "dogfood", "QA", "exploratory test", "find issues", "bug hunt", "test this app/site/platform", or review the quality of a web application. Produces a structured report with full reproduction evidence -- step-by-step screenshots, repro videos, and detailed repro steps for every issue -- so findings can be handed directly to the responsible teams.

minimax-pdf

Use this skill when visual quality and design identity matter for a PDF. CREATE (generate from scratch): "make a PDF", "generate a report", "write a proposal", "create a resume", "beautiful PDF", "professional document", "cover page", "polished PDF", "client-ready document". FILL (complete form fields): "fill in the form", "fill out this PDF", "complete the form fields", "write values into PDF", "what fields does this PDF have". REFORMAT (apply design to an existing doc): "reformat this document", "apply our style", "convert this Markdown/text to PDF", "make this doc look good", "re-style this PDF". This skill uses a token-based design system: color, typography, and spacing are derived from the document type and flow through every page. The output is print-ready. Prefer this skill when appearance matters, not just when any PDF output is needed.

get-api-docs

Use this skill when you need documentation for a third-party library, SDK, or API before writing code that uses it — for example, "use the OpenAI API", "call the Stripe API", "use the Anthropic SDK", "query Pinecone", or any time the user asks you to write code against an external service and you need current API reference. Fetch the docs with chub before answering, rather than relying on training knowledge.
