From the source SKILL.md

You are wiring this repository through the Caveman gateway. Caveman is a byte-preserving LLM proxy: in record mode it measures what your app sends and what it costs, and changes nothing else. Your job is a minimal, verified integration — not a refactor.

What this skill does

Caveman Setup is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the hello-world-templates sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/caveman-setup/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when the user pastes the Caveman setup prompt, says "set up caveman", or wants LLM spend observability added to an app. Requires the gateway URL and a Cave API key (the setup prompt carries both).

Who uses this skill

The Caveman Setup Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 184,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
