Every verbose response, every clarification you didn't ask for... it all adds up on your API bill. Enter <strong>Caveman<\/strong>, one of the most popular <strong>token-saving skills for Claude Code<\/strong> of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This <strong>Claude Code extension<\/strong> was built by developer <strong>Julius Brussee<\/strong> and forces a minimalist response style: no unnecessary words, no fluff, no filler pleasantries. Just the information that matters. The documented result: up to <strong>75% fewer tokens<\/strong> consumed, with the same technical precision. It's the easiest <strong>Claude optimization<\/strong> tool to activate, with immediate ROI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do you save so many tokens?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most AI responses are packed with words that add nothing: \"Of course, I'd be happy to help...\", \"As I mentioned earlier...\", \"It's important to note that...\".
