Raw Developer Origin & Technical Request
GitHub Issue
Apr 5, 2026
**What you want**
Add Caveman Memory, a lossless semantic compression feature for persistent context files (CLAUDE.md, .claude.md, skills). Provide a CLI like caveman compress that reduces token usage while preserving meaning.
**Before/after example**
```
Before: This project uses React with TypeScript for the frontend.
Please always use functional components with hooks.
After: React + TypeScript frontend. Functional components + hooks only.
```
**Why good**
Productive, Non-gimmick technique to reduce repeated input tokens on every request, saving large amounts of context space across sessions, lowering cost, and improving efficiency without losing information.
