Everything below still installs and works, but expect no new features or fixes. Active development of the family lives in caveman and caveman-browse. cavekit compressed spec-driven development for claude code one file · one loop · zero sub-agents --- what this is Plan-then-execute forgets. SDD remembers — but most SDD frameworks bury that value under agent swarms, dashboards, and ceremony that costs more tokens than it saves. Cavekit is the simplest full loop: grill → spec → research → review → build , over one SPEC.md file, no sub-agents. Three commands you run every time; four more you reach for only when the change earns it. The spine is three properties that earn their tokens: - durable spec — SPEC.md at repo root survives context resets. It is the agent's long-term memory: lose the window, reload the spec, keep going. - caveman encoding — 75% fewer tokens than prose. Symbols, fragments, pipe tables. All nine skill descriptions cost 1.1k context — 16× lighter than spec-kit's 18.6k. That is the whole point. - backprop reflex — every test failure becomes a §B entry; classes of bug become §V invariants the spec never forgets. And one rule that keeps it from bloating into the frameworks it replaces: right-size . A one-line fix is just /build . The full chain is for genuinely uncertain or high-blast-radius work — never for a typo. commands the loop — run these every time: cmd job --- --- /ck:spec create ","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/JuliusBrussee","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/JuliusBrussee/cavekit/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
