Caveman tool cuts AI coding agent token use by 65%
Original: JuliusBrussee/caveman
Developer JuliusBrussee released Caveman, an open-source tool written in Go that makes AI coding agents consume roughly 65% fewer tokens by prompting them to communicate in terse, simplified 'caveman' style English. The project ships as a skill plus proxy and is rapidly gaining attention on GitHub among developers looking to cut costs on token-heavy coding agents like Claude or Copilot.
Why now: Rising API token costs are pushing developers toward any tool that promises large savings on AI coding agents.
