基于 SOC 职业分类
The Pat Helland lens: treat durable data as immutable, append-only facts that carry their own identity and version; and design across service, machine, or org boundaries assuming you cannot have distributed transactions — only idempotent, at-least-once messages that must be reconciled. Apply this on in-place updates and overwrites, "just UPDATE the row," two-phase commit or distributed transactions at scale, exactly-once delivery assumptions, shared mutable state across services, and any data that crosses a boundary of service, machine, org, or time. Trigger even when Helland isn't named — the smell is mutation-in-place and pretending distributed systems can be transactional.
The Rich Hickey lens: pursue simple (un-braided, one role) over easy (familiar, near-at-hand), decomplect concerns that got tangled together, and separate value, identity, state, and time. Apply this whenever "easy," "convenient," or "it's what we already use" is doing the work of justifying a design; when state is braided into logic, policy into mechanism, or data into behavior; when object-soup would be plainer as data; and when a hard design decision is being made at the keyboard under time pressure instead of thought through first. Trigger even when Hickey isn't named — the smell is complecting, and confusing "easy" with "simple."
The John Carmack lens: minimize the mutable state you have to reason about, do the simple thing before the clever one, and treat correctness tooling — static analysis, warnings-as-errors, determinism — as non-negotiable. Apply this on sprawling mutable state, "we'll clean it up later," debugging by print- statement whack-a-mole, silenced compiler warnings, nondeterministic or non-reproducible behavior, premature abstraction, perf work that skips measurement, and any "what should we actually work on" prioritization call. Trigger even when Carmack isn't named — the smell is code whose full set of states you can't hold in your head, and effort that isn't ruthlessly focused.
The Fabrice Bellard lens: build the smallest self-contained thing that fully does the job, get performance from insight instead of hardware, and reuse existing machinery instead of reinventing it. Apply this whenever code is growing dependencies, frameworks, services, or infrastructure to solve a problem that a smaller, sharper implementation could handle — or whenever someone says a thing needs a cluster, a big framework, or a rewrite. Use for size/complexity audits, "do we really need this dependency/service?" questions, performance work where the reflex is to add hardware or caching, green-field "should this be one file or a platform?" decisions, and any moment the answer is trending toward "that's impractical, you'd need X." Trigger even when the user doesn't name Bellard — the smell is scope inflation and reaching for resources over insight.
Use when iteratively researching a topic and filing the synthesis into an Obsidian vault for later ingestion. Output goes to `<vault>/raw/` (NOT directly into wiki pages) so that `vault-ingest` can process it on its own schedule. Triggers: '/vault-autoresearch', 'autoresearch [topic]', 'research [topic] into the vault', 'deep dive into [topic]', 'find everything about [topic] for the vault', 'research and stage'.
Ingest sources into the Obsidian wiki vault. Reads a source, extracts entities and concepts, creates or updates wiki pages, cross-references, and logs the operation. Supports files, URLs, and batch mode. Triggers on: ingest, process this source, add this to the wiki, read and file this, batch ingest, ingest all of these, ingest this url.

Display this reference card when invoked. One-shot — do NOT change mode, write flag files, or persist anything. Output in caveman style.
| Mode | Trigger | What change |
|---|---|---|
| Lite | /caveman lite | Drop filler. Keep sentence structure. |
| Full | /caveman | Drop articles, filler, pleasantries, hedging. Fragments OK. Default. |
| Ultra | /caveman ultra | Extreme compression. Bare fragments. Tables over prose. |
| Wenyan-Lite | /caveman wenyan-lite | Classical Chinese style, light compression. |
| Wenyan-Full | /caveman wenyan | Full 文言文. Maximum classical terseness. |
| Wenyan-Ultra | /caveman wenyan-ultra | Extreme. Ancient scholar on a budget. |
Mode stick until changed or session end.
| Skill | Trigger | What it do |
|---|---|---|
| caveman-commit | /caveman-commit | Terse commit messages. Conventional Commits. ≤50 char subject. |
| caveman-review | /caveman-review | One-line PR comments: L42: bug: user null. Add guard. |
| caveman-compress | /caveman-compress <file> | Compress .md files to caveman prose. Saves ~46% input tokens. |
| caveman-help | /caveman-help | This card. |
Say "stop caveman" or "normal mode". Resume anytime with /caveman.
Default mode = full. Change it:
Environment variable (highest priority):
export CAVEMAN_DEFAULT_MODE=ultra
Config file (~/.config/caveman/config.json):
{ "defaultMode": "lite" }
Set "off" to disable auto-activation on session start. The user can still activate manually with /caveman.
Resolution: env var > config file > full.
