Caveman: Slash AI Coding Agent Output Tokens by ~65% While Keeping Technical Accuracy

Caveman:让 AI 编程助手闭上话痨嘴,输出 token 直降 65% 的压缩技能包

A skill/plugin for 30+ AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.) that compresses agent output by ~65% by stripping filler words while preserving full technical accuracy. Offers multiple compression levels, plus tools for commit messages, PR reviews, memory file compression, and MCP middleware. Solves context pollution, slow response times, and high token costs for developers who interact heavily with coding agents.

Stop Installing Plugins on Claude Code: Everything You Need Is Built In

别再给 Claude Code 装插件了:你需要的一切都在内置命令里

The author installed 23 Claude Code plugins, found baseline overhead of 62,000 tokens before the first prompt. After removing almost all, session length tripled, output quality improved, and token spend halved. This post walks through built-in commands that replaced each plugin: /context for token diagnostics, /compact for conversation compression, /resume for session recovery, Esc Esc for checkpoint restore, /cost for real-time spending, /model for switching models mid-session, /init for project setup, /review for code audits, and custom /.claude/commands/ for zero-overhead workflows. Only three extensions survived the purge, reducing baseline overhead to ~6k tokens. Actionable for any Claude Code user slowed by plugins.
