Configurable default mode
Default mode is now configurable instead of always starting at full. Resolution order:
CAVEMAN_DEFAULT_MODEenvironment variable (highest priority)- Config file at
~/.config/caveman/config.json(XDG-compliant, cross-platform) -
'full'(unchanged default — fully backward compatible):::bash export CAVEMAN_DEFAULT_MODE=ultra
:::json { "defaultMode": "lite" }
All install/uninstall scripts (bash + PowerShell) updated. Invalid modes silently fall through to default.
Closes [#86]
"off" mode — disable auto-activation
Set CAVEMAN_DEFAULT_MODE=off or {"defaultMode": "off"} in config to skip session-start activation entirely. No flag file written, no rules injected. User can still manually activate with /caveman during the session.
/caveman-help quick-reference card
New skill — type /caveman-help to display a terse reference card covering all modes, skills, triggers, configuration, and deactivation. One-shot display, no mode change.
Works in: Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Copilot, and all agents via npx skills.
