JuliusBrussee/caveman is a Claude Code skill that forces AI to output in a terse 'caveman' style (dropping articles, prepositions, etc.), reducing token consumption by 65% on average. The project has gained 10,345 stars in 7 days (total 84,653) and is installed via npm install -g @juliusbrussee/caveman-code. For developers using Claude API or Claude Code, integrating this skill significantly reduces per-request token costs without sacrificing task completion. It's ideal for large-scale automation, batch data processing, or long-running agent tasks. However, the output style may affect readability, so it's best used for internal tasks not facing users.
