Caveman is a set of tools and configurations designed for large language model token optimization. It focuses on reducing the amount of data processed during AI interactions to lower costs and maximize the available context window.
The project implements a fragmented communication style that replaces full grammatical sentences with concise technical keywords. This approach extends to AI context optimization by condensing memory files and tool descriptions, and includes a specialized configuration for generating terse, one-line code reviews and short conventional commit messages.
The system includes monitoring tools to track real-time session token consumption and translate those figures into monetary cost savings based on session logs.
