Extracted and cleaned up from a prior WSL/Windows agent-memory setup. Contains only project-agnostic content: - Claude_Memory/: feedback rules, user profile, reusable reference docs, session scratch space (claude_info/, claude_log/), mirrored skill defs - caveman/: ultra-compressed communication mode skill + subcommands - html-slide-deck/: self-contained HTML slide deck builder skill Project-specific knowledge (previously mixed in) was moved out to each project's own repository as part of this cleanup.

# cavecrew
|
|
|
|
Decision guide. When to delegate to caveman subagents instead of doing the work inline.
|
|
|
|
## What it does
|
|
|
|
Tells the main thread when to spawn a caveman-style subagent versus the vanilla equivalent. The win: subagent tool-results inject back into main context verbatim, and caveman output is roughly 1/3 the size of vanilla prose. Across 20 delegations in one session, that is the difference between context exhaustion and finishing the task.
|
|
|
|
Three subagents:
|
|
|
|
| Subagent | Job | Use when |
|
|
|----------|-----|----------|
|
|
| `cavecrew-investigator` | Locate code (read-only) | "Where is X defined / what calls Y / list uses of Z" |
|
|
| `cavecrew-builder` | Surgical edit, 1-2 files | Scope is obvious, ≤2 files. Refuses 3+ file scope. |
|
|
| `cavecrew-reviewer` | Diff/file review | One-line findings with severity emoji |
|
|
|
|
Use vanilla `Explore` or `Code Reviewer` when you want prose, architecture commentary, or rationale. Use main thread directly for one-line answers and 3+ file refactors.
|
|
|
|
This skill is a decision guide, not a slash command. It activates when the conversation mentions delegation.
|
|
|
|
## How to invoke
|
|
|
|
Triggers on phrases like "delegate to subagent", "use cavecrew", "spawn investigator", "save context", "compressed agent output".
|
|
|
|
## Example chaining
|
|
|
|
Locate → fix → verify (most common):
|
|
|
|
1. `cavecrew-investigator` returns site list (`path:line — symbol — note`)
|
|
2. Main thread picks 1-2 sites, hands paths to `cavecrew-builder`
|
|
3. `cavecrew-reviewer` audits the resulting diff
|
|
|
|
Parallel scout: spawn 2-3 `cavecrew-investigator` calls in one message with different angles (defs, callers, tests). Aggregate in main.
