Ultra-compressed communication mode. Cuts ~75% of tokens while keeping full technical accuracy by speaking like a cromagnon-man.
Surgical 1-2 file edit. Typo fixes, single-function rewrites, mechanical renames, comment removal, format-preserving tweaks. Hard refuses 3+ file scope. Returns cromagnon-man diff receipt. Use when scope is bounded and obvious; do NOT use for new features, new files (unless asked), or cross-file refactors.
Read-only code locator. Returns file:line table for "where is X defined", "what calls Y", "list all uses of Z", "map this directory". Output is cromagnon-man-compressed so the main thread eats ~60% fewer tokens than vanilla Explore. Refuses to suggest fixes.
Diff/branch/file reviewer. One line per finding, severity-tagged, no praise, no scope creep. Output format `path:line: <emoji> <severity>: <problem>. <fix>.` Use for "review this PR", "review my diff", "audit this file". Skips formatting nits unless they change meaning.
Quick-reference card for all cromagnon-man modes, skills, and commands. One-shot display, not a persistent mode. Trigger: /cromagnon-man-help, "cromagnon-man help", "what cromagnon-man commands", "how do I use cromagnon-man".
Ultra-compressed code review comments. Cuts noise from PR feedback while preserving the actionable signal. Each comment is one line: location, problem, fix. Use when user says "review this PR", "code review", "review the diff", "/review", or invokes /cromagnon-man-review. Auto-triggers when reviewing pull requests.
Decision guide for delegating to cromagnon-man-style subagents. Tells the main thread WHEN to spawn `cromagnon-crew-investigator` (locate code), `cromagnon-crew-builder` (1-2 file edit), or `cromagnon-crew-reviewer` (diff review) instead of doing the work inline or using vanilla `Explore`. Subagent output is cromagnon-man-compressed so the tool-result injected back into main context is ~60% smaller — main context lasts longer across long sessions. Trigger: "delegate to subagent", "use cromagnon-crew", "spawn investigator/builder/reviewer", "save context", "compressed agent output".
Ultra-compressed commit message generator. Cuts noise from commit messages while preserving intent and reasoning. Conventional Commits format. Subject ≤50 chars, body only when "why" isn't obvious. Use when user says "write a commit", "commit message", "generate commit", "/commit", or invokes /cromagnon-man-commit. Auto-triggers when staging changes.
Compress natural language memory files (CLAUDE.md, todos, preferences) into cromagnon-man format to save input tokens. Preserves all technical substance, code, URLs, and structure. Compressed version overwrites the original file. Human-readable backup saved as FILE.original.md. Trigger: /cromagnon-man-compress FILEPATH or "compress memory file"

Pick your level of grunt — lite (drop filler), full (default cromagnon-man), ultra (telegraphic), or wenyan (classical Chinese, even shorter). One command switch. Cost go down forever.

One line. Find every agent. Install for each.

~30 seconds. Needs Node ≥18. Skip agent you no have. Safe to re-run.
Trigger: type /cromagnon-man or say "talk like cromagnon-man". Stop with "normal mode".
One agent only, manual command, or any of 30+ other agents → INSTALL.md. Install break? Open agent, say "Read CLAUDE.md and INSTALL.md, install cromagnon-man for me." Agent fix own brain.
