Hey HN! I've been building Claurst - a clean-room implementation of Claude Code in Rust, with extra features to make my ideal agentic Open-Source AI CLI. It's WIP and rough, but I'm shipping a lot to make it amaze amaze amaze.

Inspired by this HN post [1] I saw a few hours ago about caveman speak for token-efficient output, I added /Caveman and /Rocky (from project Hail Mary) to Claurst.

Caveman grammar drops ~70% of output tokens keeping technical substance and Rocky brings a close compression with more personality. Both are first-class slash commands with three levels: lite, full, ultra.

It's fun, makes you happy and saves tokens :D

Would love for you to try it out and get feedback!

Forgot to mention - there's a /normal command to go back to normal speaking mode too :)
