About the project
A skill and local proxy for coding agents that cut token usage: the skill makes the agent answer in terse caveman style, the proxy compresses logs, diffs and test output before they reach the model.
Useful for
- Install the skill via npx skills add so the agent answers shorter and cheaper
- Run caveman learn to rank the biggest token sinks in your agent history
- Run caveman claude or caveman codex to compress logs and diffs before sending them to the model

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 3, 2026, 00:43 UTC.
The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- There are not enough fresh counter measurements for today's UTC day. The gain is unknown.
- About 23 forks a day — people are taking the code.
Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
