Plugin caveman from marketplace hypedomino-agents in Alievs-corp/hypedomino. Commands read from the repo's manifest — today.

This plugin runs code on your machine — its hooks fire automatically on events like tool use. The exact commands are listed below; read them before installing.

What it installs

Skills (22)

  • cavecrew

    When to delegate to `cavecrew-investigator` (locate code), `cavecrew-builder` (1-2 file edit) or `cavecrew-reviewer` (diff review) instead of working inline or using `Explore`. Their output is compressed, so main context lasts longer.

  • caveman-compress

    Compress a memory file such as CLAUDE.md or a todo list into caveman format to save input tokens, keeping a readable backup. Sends the file's text to the configured model provider. Trigger: /caveman-compress.

  • caveman-stats

    Show recorded output and cache-read token usage and mode attribution for the current Claude Code session, or locate the host's native usage report. Trigger: /caveman-stats.

  • caveman

    Terse caveman voice: answer first, fluff gone, every technical fact kept. Use for /caveman, "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "be brief", "less tokens". Stays on until "stop caveman" or "normal mode".

  • megacave

    Caveman in Classical Chinese: 文言文 register, far fewer characters, technical terms verbatim. Invoke only with /megacave or /caveman wenyan. Stays on until "stop caveman" or "normal mode".

  • ultracave

    Caveman at maximum compression: fragments, one word when one word is enough, each fact once. Invoke only with /ultracave or /caveman ultra. Stays on until "stop caveman" or "normal mode".

  • caveman-commit

    Write a Conventional Commits message compressed to intent only. Use for "write a commit", "commit message", /commit or /caveman-commit.

  • caveman-discover

    Find and label every LLM workflow in the repository so Caveman Cloud groups spend by workflow instead of one bucket. Use for "discover workflows" or breaking LLM spend down by workflow.

  • caveman-evidence-review

    Read-only review of Caveman Cloud evidence: cost, Cave Score, workflows, traces, latency, errors, routing, savings. Use when asked what Caveman found or where LLM spend goes.

  • caveman-explore

    Read-only repository explorer for cold-start orientation, broad cross-file localization, or when a direct search failed. Skip it when the exact file or symbol is already named. Returns path:line citations only; its reads stay out of main context.

  • caveman-help

    Quick-reference card for the three caveman skills and their commands. Trigger: /caveman-help or "caveman help".

  • caveman-learn

    Act on a Caveman learn report - review the ranked token sinks, apply cost-lowering fixes with per-edit consent, and report what those fixes returned. Use when asked to lower an agent's token cost, what caveman has saved, to trim a heavy CLAUDE.md, or to offload re-pasted context into cavemem.

  • caveman-manage

    Inspect Caveman Cloud's experiment lifecycle and block unsafe execution. Use when asked to start, approve, cancel, promote or roll back a Caveman experiment.

  • caveman-optimize

    Turn a Caveman optimization observation into an operator-chosen candidate with a paired baseline evaluation. Use when asked to inspect or evaluate a Caveman optimization report. Needs explicit approval.

  • caveman-review

    Compressed code review - one line per finding with location, problem and fix. Use for /caveman-review, "review this PR", or "review the diff".

  • caveman-setup

    Wire a repository through the Caveman Cloud gateway so every LLM request is measured, with no behavior change. Use for "set up caveman" or adding LLM spend observability.

  • investigate-first

    Diagnose ambiguous failures before editing. Use for unknown causes, intermittent behavior, performance regressions, or investigations needing evidence-ranked hypotheses.

  • lean-build

    Build feature work with high overbuilding risk. Use for new behavior, product slices, or integrations where repository reuse, strict scope, and an explicit stop condition matter.

  • migration

    Implement reversible compatibility-safe transitions. Use for schema, data, API, protocol, configuration, or dependency migrations requiring rollback and preservation proof.

  • safe-refactor

    Restructure code while preserving behavior. Use for extraction, consolidation, ownership moves, or cleanup where verification must bracket structural edits.

  • surgical-patch

    Fix bugs and small behavior changes at the narrowest responsible layer. Use when regression proof, preserved surrounding behavior, and task-relevant tests matter.

  • verify-and-stop

    Prove existing work meets acceptance conditions without expanding scope. Use for validation-only tasks, completion checks, focused gate runs, and last-mile proof.

Slash commands (1)

  • /caveman:caveman-init

    Drop the always-on caveman activation rule into the current repo for every IDE agent

Subagents (3)

  • cavecrew-builder

    Surgical 1-2 file edit. Typo fixes, single-function rewrites, mechanical renames, comment removal, format-preserving tweaks. Hard refuses 3+ file scope. Returns caveman diff receipt. Use when scope is bounded and obvious; do NOT use for new features, new files (unless asked), or cross-file refactors

  • cavecrew-investigator

    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 caveman-compressed, one row per hit, to keep main-thread context small. Refuses to suggest fixes.

  • cavecrew-reviewer

    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.
