caveman
Auto-activation works differently per agent: Claude Code uses SessionStart hooks, this repo's Codex dogfood setup uses .codex/hooks.json, Gemini uses context files. Cursor/Windsurf/Cline/Copilot can be made always-on, but npx skills add installs only the skill, not the repo rule/instruction files. ¹ Codex uses $caveman syntax, not /caveman. This repo ships .codex/hooks.json, so caveman auto-starts when you run Codex inside this repo. The installed plugin itself gives you $caveman; copy the same hook into another repo if you want always-on behavior there too. caveman-commit and caveman-review are not in the Codex plugin bundle — use the SKILL.md files directly. ² Add the "Want it always on?" snippet below to those agents' system prompt or rule file if you want session-start activation. ³ Cursor and Windsurf receive the full SKILL.md with all intensity levels. Mode switching works on-demand via the skill; no slash command. ⁴ Available in Claude Code, but plugin install only nudges setup. Standalone install.sh / install.ps1 configures it automatically when no custom statusLine exists.Description from the marketplace entry / plugin manifest.
