Architecture and Benchmarks

Caveman shrinks what the agent says, not what it knows.

Before / After Example

🗣️ Normal agent — 69 tokens	🪨 Caveman agent — 19 tokens
The reason your React component is re-rendering is likely because you're creating a new object reference on each render cycle. When you pass an inline object as a prop, React's shallow comparison sees it as a different object every time, which triggers a re-render. I'd recommend using useMemo to memoize the object.	New object ref each render. Inline object prop = new ref = re-render. Wrap in useMemo.

Same fix. Third of the words. Nothing technical lost.

Token Savings

• Output tokens saved: 65% (on prose)
• Input tokens saved: 0%
• Technical accuracy: 100%
• Vibes: OOG

That 65% is the prose number. On a full agentic coding run, where most of the output is code and tool calls, it's about 8.5%.
