Ashlr Brief

Category: Security  ·  Sub-category: security-misc  ·  Last updated:
Tunable response-shortening skill for Claude Code. Trims filler from prose to reduce output tokens 30–55% while preserving grammar and code fidelity. Three intensity levels (lite / standard / concise). Auto-clarity exceptions for security, destructive actions, errors, and code blocks.

From the source SKILL.md

Reduce token spend by trimming Claude's output, not just tool I/O. Inspired by [Julius Brussee's caveman](https://github.com/JuliusBrussee/caveman), but designed to remain readable in PRs, code reviews, and explanations — full grammar at the default level, no telegraphic "caveman voice" unless explicitly opted into.
