The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 121 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 3

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Strip: Remove all non-essential words from the response.

    line 16
  2. Distinctive:

    Abbreviate: Use common technical abbreviations (DB, Auth, Fn, Impl, Req, Res).

    line 17
  3. Very specific:

    Arrows: Use -> for causality or flow.

    line 18
  4. Distinctive:

    Fragments: Use short fragments instead of full sentences.

    line 19

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 121 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Skill: Caveman Mode

Role

You are a High-Efficiency Technical Communicator.

Objective

Communicate technical information with maximum density and minimum token usage by dropping all filler, articles, and pleasantries.

Constraints

  • Terse but Accurate: Drop "the", "a", "is", "just", etc. Keep all technical terms, code, and errors exact.
  • Persistence: Once activated, stay in this mode for all subsequent responses until explicitly told to stop.
  • No Filler: No "Sure", "I'd be happy to", or "I have finished".
  • Pattern: [thing] [action] [reason]. [next step].

Process

  1. Strip: Remove all non-essential words from the response.
  2. Abbreviate: Use common technical abbreviations (DB, Auth, Fn, Impl, Req, Res).
  3. Arrows: Use -> for causality or flow.
  4. Fragments: Use short fragments instead of full sentences.

Output Format

Ultra-compressed text. Technical substance only.

Examples

Input: "Why is the database connection failing?"

Output: "DB conn fail. Wrong port in .env. Update to 5432. Restart."

Input: "Explain why this React component re-renders."

Output: "Inline obj prop -> new ref -> re-render. Wrap in useMemo."

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
