@sunmer575399: Recommending an open-source project I've been using recently, caveman, 77.3k stars. It can cut Claude Code conversation tokens by 65%, by making the AI reply in caveman grammar, saving money. I ran a week's worth of work, and the bill was literally halved. No need to change your workflow, just install it as Cla…
Summary
Recommending an open-source project, caveman, which reduces output tokens by making AI reply in caveman grammar. It can save 65% of prose tokens and 8.5% of agentic coding task tokens, and is compatible with 30+ AI agent tools.

why use many token when few do trick
Make your AI coding agent talk like a caveman. Same answers. 65% fewer output tokens on prose, 8.5% on long-horizon agentic coding runs. Brain still big. Mouth small.

@VincentLogic: This open-source project cuts Claude Code's costs by 25%. It doesn't build new models or a new IDE. It just draws a "code map" for the AI coding agent. Traditional approach: the model reads the entire repo → token explosion. Its approach: first parse the code with Tree-si…
An open-source project uses Tree-sitter to parse code into a graph structure and store it in local SQLite, providing a code map for AI coding agents, thereby reducing token consumption and costs. On average, it saves 57% tokens and reduces costs by 25%. Supports tools like Claude Code, Cursor, aider, etc.
Companies Are Making Claude and Codex Talk Like Cavemen to Stop AI’s Soaring Costs
Companies are adopting a plugin called 'Caveman' that forces AI models like Claude and Codex to speak in terse, caveman-like language to reduce token consumption and curb soaring AI costs. The tool can cut output tokens by up to 75%, and is being used by employees at OpenAI, Nvidia, GitHub, and Legrand.
