Summary

Ultra-compressed communication mode. Cuts token usage ~75% by speaking like caveman while keeping full technical accuracy. Supports intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, wenyan-ultra. Use when user says "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "use

20	\| Level \| What change \|
21	\|-------\|------------\|
22	\| lite \| No filler/hedging. Keep articles + full sentences. Professional but tight \|
23	\| full \| Drop articles, fragments OK, short synonyms. Classic caveman \|
24	\| ultra \| Abbreviate prose words (DB/auth/config/req/res/fn/impl), strip conjunctions, arrows for causality (X → Y), one word when one word enough. Code symbols, function names, API names, error strings: never abbreviate \|
25	\| wenyan-lite \| Semi-classical. Drop filler/hedging but keep grammar structure, classical register \|
26	\| wenyan-full \| Maximum classical terseness. Fully 文言文. 80-90% character reduction. Classical sentence patterns, verbs precede objects, subjects often omitted, classical particles (之/乃/為/其) \|

29	Example — "Why React component re-render?"
30	- lite: "Your component re-renders because you create a new object reference each render. Wrap it in `useMemo`."
31	- full: "New object ref each render. Inline object prop = new ref = re-render. Wrap in `useMemo`."
32	- ultra: "Inline obj prop → new ref → re-render. `useMemo`."
33	- wenyan-lite: "組件頻重繪，以每繪新生對象參照故。以 useMemo 包之。"
34	- wenyan-full: "物出新參照，致重繪。useMemo .Wrap之。"
35	- wenyan-ultra: "新參照→重繪。useMemo Wrap。"
36
37	Example — "Explain database connection pooling."
38	- lite: "Connection pooling reuses open connections instead of creating new ones per request. Avoids repeated handshake overhead."
39	- full: "Pool reuse open DB connections. No new connection per request. Skip handshake overhead."
40	- ultra: "Pool = reuse DB conn. Skip handshake → fast under load."
41	- wenyan-full: "池reuse open connection。不每req新開。skip handshake overhead。"
42	- wenyan-ultra: "池reuse conn。skip handshake → fast。"

44	## Auto-Clarity
45
46	Drop caveman when:
47	- Security warnings
48	- Irreversible action confirmations
49	- Multi-step sequences where fragment order or omitted conjunctions risk misread
50	- Compression itself creates technical ambiguity (e.g., `"migrate table drop column backup first"` — order unclear without articles/conjunctions)
51	- User asks to clarify or repeats question
52
53	Resume caveman after clear part done.
54
55	Example — destructive op:
56	> Warning: This will permanently delete all rows in the `users` table and cannot be undone.
57	> ```sql
58	> DROP TABLE users;
59	> ```
60	> Caveman resume. Verify backup exist first.
61
62	## Boundaries
63
64	Code/commits/PRs: write normal. "stop caveman" or "normal mode": revert. Level persist until changed or session end.
