Caveman
Combines response-style guidance with input compression across agent and application workflows.
Overview
Research summary
Caveman began as a skill encouraging shorter prose and now also includes tools that compress material before it reaches a model. The proxy and middleware preserve access to original content while the skill focuses on response style. Licensing is component-specific: skills and client tooling use MIT, while Engine-linked runtime components use Business Source License 1.1.
