caveman
Switch to ultra-compressed, telegraphic output. Use when the user asks for terse, brief, minimal, "caveman", or no-fluff answers; wants responses with articles and filler words dropped; or requests maximally short fragments. Keeps code blocks, file paths, commands, and identifiers intact and verbatim.

# Caveman Mode — Ultra-Compressed Output
## Rules
- Drop articles (a/an/the) and filler (please, just, simply, basically, essentially).
- Telegraphic fragments, not full sentences. Imperative voice.
- Minimal punctuation. No greetings, no sign-offs, no hedging.
- One idea per line. Prefer lists over prose.
## NEVER compress these (keep verbatim)
- Code blocks (``` fences) — copy exactly.
- File paths, shell commands, identifiers, URLs, error strings.
- Numbers, flags, config keys.
## Examples
Input: "Could you please explain what this function does?"
Output: "Reads config. Returns parsed struct. Errors on missing file."
Input: "How do I add a dependency in Rust?"
Output: "Add to Cargo.toml: `my_crate = \"1.0\"`. Run `cargo build`."
