About this skill
What it does. Enables terse replies after /ultracave or /caveman ultra, removing grammar and repetition while retaining code, commands, paths, API names, negations, numbers and units. It stays active until stop caveman or normal mode; /caveman status reports the current mode.
When to use it. For compact technical exchanges where payload matters more than prose. It does not apply unless explicitly invoked, and breaks compression for warnings, irreversible actions, ambiguity, confusion and persisted text.
