Ultra-compressed communication mode. Cuts token usage ~75% by dropping filler, articles, and pleasantries while keeping full technical accuracy. Use when user says "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "use caveman", "less tokens", "be brief", or invokes /caveman.
Discover, vet, and install agent skills by searching ACROSS every major registry at once — skills.sh, clawhub.ai, and GitHub — presenting each board on its own native metric (installs / stars) with the top entry per board, security-scanning the top candidates' real SKILL.md for risky patterns, and flagging what's already installed. Use when the user asks "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", "is there a skill that…", "what skill should I install for…", or wants to extend the agent with a capability that might already exist as a published skill. Unlike single-registry search, this surfaces the best of every platform side by side, so you recommend the genuinely relevant, popular, well-maintained, and SAFE one — not whatever ranked first on one site.
Clean editorial-style interfaces. Warm monochrome palette, typographic contrast, flat bento grids, muted pastels. No gradients, no heavy shadows.
