Caveman-style tool cuts AI coding agent token use
Original: JuliusBrussee/caveman
Developer JuliusBrussee has released an open-source project called caveman, a skill and proxy for coding agents written in Go. It prompts AI coding assistants to write in a stripped-down, 'caveman' style, which the project says cuts token consumption by around 65 percent while keeping the code output intact. The project is drawing attention among developers looking to reduce costs on popular coding agents.
Why now: Developers are looking for cheap ways to cut the high token costs of AI coding agents, and the novelty of the caveman approach is spreading quickly.

🪨 why use many token when few token do trick. Viral skill + proxy for coding agents that cuts 65% of tokens by talking like a caveman.
