Caveman is at 94,167 stars as a single skill for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Copilot, and 30+ others, stripping conversational filler while keeping code, commands, and error strings byte-for-byte exact. The README's worked example compresses a 69-token React re-render explanation to 19 tokens with the same useMemo fix. Savings are output-side only, which matters if your bottleneck is a subscription output cap rather than context. The 65% figure is the maintainer's own benchmark, unreproduced.

JuliusBrussee/caveman hit 54,000+ GitHub stars in under three weeks and topped Hacker News. The repo is exactly what it sounds like: a skill that strips agent verbosity, kills the "I'd be happy to help" preamble, and makes Claude answer in terse, near-grunt prose while keeping...
diegosouzapw/OmniRoute added 1,343 stars on July 20, a single MIT-licensed gateway across 268+ providers (50+ free) and 500+ models including Claude, GPT, Gemini, Kimi K3, GLM and DeepSeek, wired for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline and Copilot. Quota-aware automatic fallback...
v0.10.0 (~84.8k stars, Apache-2.0) ships no agent of its own and drives whichever CLI you already have, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, OpenClaw, Gemini, Kimi, Qwen, Cline, plus BYOK OpenAI-compatible endpoints, via od mcp install <agent>. It produces single-page HTML pro...
wanshuiyin/HERO-Anti-OverDefense went from creation to 68 stars in a single day. HERO is Hashing, Edge cases, Rubrics, Overbuild, and the claim is that agent over-engineering isn't diffuse but falls into four recognizable shapes suppressible with a portable prompt contract acr...
lean-ctx is a Rust-based system that sits between AI coding tools and LLMs, compressing file reads by 60-99% and shell output by 60-95% using Tree-sitter AST parsing for 18 languages. Cached re-reads cost only 13 tokens. Works as a standard MCP server with 49 tools. Compatible...
The headline number on this repo is 65% token savings. The number you should actually care about is 33.2%, and the reason to trust the project is that the maintainer tells you the difference. JuliusBrussee/caveman cut v2.1.0 on August 16 at 19:22 UTC (GitHub). The GitHub API r...
