Installation Guide

Two products. Pick one or both.

Save input with Caveman Proxy, the new release. A local proxy that shrinks what your agent reads before every provider call, with byte-exact recovery. BSL-1.1 runtime, MIT CLI.

bash
npm install -g @caveman-ai/cli && caveman setup --install
caveman claude        # or codex · gemini · aider · opencode · hermes · openclaw

Save output with the skill, the original. Your agent answers in tight caveman-speak while code, commands, and errors stay byte-for-byte exact. MIT, works in 30+ agents.

bash
npx skills add JuliusBrussee/caveman

<summary>Full installer, Windows, one agent only, uninstall</summary>

The full installer also wires the Claude Code hooks and statusline, finds every supported agent on your machine, and is safe to rerun (Node.js 18+):

bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JuliusBrussee/caveman/v2.1.0/install.sh | bash

Windows (PowerShell 5.1+):

powershell
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JuliusBrussee/caveman/v2.1.0/install.ps1 | iex

One agent only:

bash
# Claude Code
claude plugin marketplace add JuliusBrussee/caveman && claude plugin install caveman@caveman

# Gemini CLI
gemini extensions install https://github.com/JuliusBrussee/caveman

# Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and other skills-compatible agents
npx skills add JuliusBrussee/caveman --skill '*' -a codex --yes  # replace codex with your agent profile

Full 30+ agent matrix, dry run, flags, verification, and uninstall: [INSTALL.md](./INSTALL.md).

Prefer building the proxy from source instead of signed binaries? scripts/install-local-cli.sh (macOS/Linux) or pwsh -File scripts/install-local-cli.ps1 (Windows); needs Go and pnpm.
