# Few tokens.
Do trick.

A semantic constraint engine for Claude Code & Codex. Forces agentic communication into minimal-token lithic structures while preserving code, commands, and exact errors.

## The Lithic Payload Diff

Visualize the exact tokens purged by the Caveman protocol. Technical imperatives are retained; conversational padding is annihilated.

Payload: React Re-render Diagnosis 69 Tokens → 19 Tokens
"The reason your React component is re-rendering is likely because you're creating a New object reference on each render cycle. When you pass an inline object as a prop, React's shallow comparison sees it as a different object every time, which triggers a = new ref = re-render. I'd recommend using Wrap in `useMemo` to memoize the object."

## Execution Architecture

💀
Pleasantry Annihilation
Standard LLMs waste compute on sycophantic hedging: "I'd be happy to help," or "It might be worth considering." Caveman protocol identifies and destroys these patterns at the generation layer.
✍️
Code Preservation
Code blocks, Git commits, and PR descriptions bypass the lithic filter. Caveman writes normal code.
🧠
Nomenclature Integrity
Technical jargon is retained precisely. "Polymorphism" remains "polymorphism." Caveman not stupid. Caveman efficient.
🔬
Scientific Backing
Based on the March 2026 paper "Brevity Constraints Reverse Performance Hierarchies in Language Models". Forcing brevity improves accuracy by 26 percentage points on key benchmarks. Less word = more correct.
