This Claude Skill Cuts Your Token Costs In HALF

If you like saving money or just hate the way the LLM's talk, this one might be for you. It's a new trending skill called Caveman and it promises to cut up to 75% of output tokens while keeping full technical accuracy, all thanks to the wise words of Kevin. >> Why waste time say lot word when few

word do trick? >> This works on Claude, Codex, and wherever and it takes your outputs from filler word to long not reading responses to a nice TLDR with the same technical accuracy and it's even customizable and has extras like Wenyan mode, terse commits, one-line code reviews, and an input compression tool. It may seem a little crazy at first, but

there's even some science behind this. So, let's jump in and take a look. So, I was testing this out in Claude Code earlier with a demo Next.js app I have that actually has a fake authentication system. I was simply asking, "Can you explain how auth is implemented in this app?" Now, this is

normal Claude Code without the skill installed. You see right away it gets into sort of filler words saying, "This is a simulated authentication system." We have a m-dash. It says, "No backend, no passwords, no real security. Exist to demonstrate Better Stack RUM user tracking." After this, it then goes on to explain the core files and how it

works. Everything's just sort of in readable English. If we then ask the same question but this time use the Caveman skill, you can see it just gets straight to the point and is a lot more concise. The first sentence is demo only, client-side auth, no real security, built for Better Stack RUM tracking demos. Doesn't have any of

those filler words, the m-dashes, or anything like that. It doesn't need to make a proper sentence. You can just tell you the technical information straight away. The same thing goes for the how it works section, the flow, and the integration points. You can see here instead of saying how this works sort of
