JunHo Kim 25256ec417 chore: initial commit — portable agent memory & skill scaffold
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.

caveman-help Quick-reference card for all caveman modes, skills, and commands. One-shot display, not a persistent mode. Trigger: /caveman-help, "caveman help", "what caveman commands", "how do I use caveman".

Caveman Help

Display this reference card when invoked. One-shot — do NOT change mode, write flag files, or persist anything. Output in caveman style.

Modes

Mode Trigger What change
Lite /caveman lite Drop filler. Keep sentence structure.
Full /caveman Drop articles, filler, pleasantries, hedging. Fragments OK. Default.
Ultra /caveman ultra Extreme compression. Bare fragments. Tables over prose.
Wenyan-Lite /caveman wenyan-lite Classical Chinese style, light compression.
Wenyan-Full /caveman wenyan Full 文言文. Maximum classical terseness.
Wenyan-Ultra /caveman wenyan-ultra Extreme. Ancient scholar on a budget.

Mode stick until changed or session end.

Skills

Skill Trigger What it do
caveman-commit /caveman-commit Terse commit messages. Conventional Commits. ≤50 char subject.
caveman-review /caveman-review One-line PR comments: L42: bug: user null. Add guard.
caveman-compress /caveman-compress <file> Compress .md files to caveman prose. Saves ~46% input tokens.
caveman-help /caveman-help This card.

Deactivate

Say "stop caveman" or "normal mode". Resume anytime with /caveman.

Configure Default Mode

Default mode = full. Change it:

Environment variable (highest priority):

export CAVEMAN_DEFAULT_MODE=ultra

Config file (~/.config/caveman/config.json):

{ "defaultMode": "lite" }

Set "off" to disable auto-activation on session start. User can still activate manually with /caveman.

Resolution: env var > config file > full.
