JuliusBrussee/caveman ships both a skill (output compressor, ~65% average output token reduction; one React re-render explanation went 1,180 to 159 tokens) and a proxy compressing input and output by content type. The design choice that makes it usable: original bytes are written to a content-addressed recovery store before any lossy transform, so exact retrieval stays possible. Benchmark claim is 33.2% fewer provider-reported input tokens inside Claude Code across 30+ agents. npm i -g @caveman-ai/cli && caveman setup --install.
