caveman-milk-pi
Makes the agent talk less. Injects terseness rules into the system prompt - shorter output, same information, prompt cache stays intact.
What it does.
- Drops filler, articles, and pleasantries while preserving technical substance.
- Cache-safe - injection bytes are static per mode, so the prompt cache stays warm across turns.
- Opt-in - default is off, baseline behavior unchanged on install.
- Tool arguments, code, file contents, and thinking traces are never terse-ified.
- Stacks cleanly with pi-vcc and condensed-milk.
Put it to work.

Worth knowing.
- Free and open-source (Apache-2.0).
- Long-form document drafts use full grammar by default, but the exemption is not 100% reliable - toggle off while drafting if needed, then back on.
