Caveman Help Skill for Codex Commands and Writing Modes
Show a quick reference for Caveman writing modes, commit and review helpers, and the command that restores normal responses.
中文Setup for Codex
Use Codex in a local project. The help card is textual and can be loaded on its own. Other Caveman commands need their own skill folders.
- Copy the pinned skills/caveman-help directory into the project's .agents/skills/caveman-help directory.
- Open the project in Codex and select $caveman-help. Add related skills separately if you want to invoke those commands.
Example task
Ask $caveman-help for the command that explains the difference between the ordinary Caveman mode and its stronger compression mode, plus the phrase that restores normal responses. Request only the reference card.Expected result
The card describes the available modes and gives “stop caveman” as the way to restore normal responses.

Frequently asked question
Does checking Caveman help change the current Codex writing mode?
The help skill returns a one-time reference and keeps the current mode. Mode switching belongs to the corresponding Caveman command.
