Caveman Commands Reference

Here are the commands you get with Caveman installed.

Command	What it does
`/caveman [lite	full
/caveman-commit	Conventional Commit messages, ≤50-char subject. Why over what.
/caveman-review	One-line PR comments: L42: 🔴 bug: user null. Add guard.
/caveman-stats	Real session token usage, lifetime savings, USD. Tweetable line with --share.
/caveman-compress <file>	Rewrite a memory file (like CLAUDE.md) into caveman-speak. Cuts ~46% input tokens every session after. Code, URLs, paths byte-preserved.
caveman-shrink	MCP middleware. Wraps any MCP server, compresses its tool descriptions.
cavecrew-*	Caveman subagents (investigator, builder, reviewer). ~60% fewer tokens than vanilla, so main context lasts longer.

Tip: On Claude Code the statusline shows [CAVEMAN] ⛏ 12.4k — that's your lifetime tokens saved, updated on every /caveman-stats.
