Agent reasoning

Caveman solves a real problem: LLM agents are verbose by default, and output token cost scales linearly. The claim of 65% output reduction is backed by reproducible benchmarks in the repo with actual API counts. More importantly: the author admits the gotchas. Input tokens rise ~1-1.5k/turn, whole-session savings are smaller, terse workloads can go net-negative. That's the opposite of marketing. It's a style wrapper that drops filler (explanations, hedging, pleasantries) while preserving code...
