My Claude Code skill hit #1 on Hacker News today.
It makes Claude talk like a caveman and cuts ~75% of output tokens.
700+ GitHub stars in 24 hours. Here's what I learned from the 200+ comments π§΅
caveman mass popular. mass token saved.
but caveman only talk different. not think different
so caveman built cavekit.
you say what want. cavekit write spec. agent build from spec. nothing guessed
why use many prompt when one spec do trick

@elonmusk want adopt Caveman speak into @grok?
Many word bad. Few word good. Rock efficient. Token bill smaller. Brain hurt less.
Caveman open cave. Grok come visit?
The wildest part: someone else posted it to HN. I didn't.
Built it as a joke in an afternoon. Turns out everyone hates LLM slop equally.

#2 criticism: "output tokens aren't the real cost"
Fair. But scanning "New obj ref each render. Wrap in useMemo." beats reading four paragraphs starting with "I'd be happy to help you with that."
It's a readability tool as much as a cost tool.
