Adds the shared caveman communication-mode skill at .claude/skills/caveman/SKILL.md so it is available consistently across all container-registry repos. Content is the canonical copy from the shared skills setup, unchanged.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a new caveman skill. The skill activates through defined phrases, persists until disabled, compresses responses, preserves technical details, and temporarily restores clarity for safety-critical or ambiguous content.

Changes

Caveman response mode

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define caveman response mode
.claude/skills/caveman/SKILL.md
Adds activation triggers, persistence rules, terse formatting rules, technical-term preservation, worked examples, and temporary clarity exceptions for security warnings, irreversible actions, multi-step instructions, and clarification requests.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 07b02

This change adds a communication mode that can remove uncertainty and logical conditions, potentially making technical or safety-sensitive guidance misleading, and its database deletion example omits important effects and transaction behavior. The skill should be corrected before merging.

Preserve uncertainty and logical connectors.

Line 14 and Line 18 instruct the model to remain in caveman mode when unsure, drop hedging, and strip conjunctions. This can turn likely into a fact or remove meaning-bearing and, or, and unless conditions. That conflicts with full technical accuracy and can make ambiguous or safety-sensitive guidance unsafe. Preserve uncertainty, negation, conditions, and logical connectors. Remove filler only.

SQL DROP TABLE documentation removes table definition and data PostgreSQL MySQL SQLite

💡 Result:

The SQL command DROP TABLE removes both the table definition and all data stored within the table across PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite [1][2][3]. Because this action is permanent and cannot be undone (except as noted below regarding transactional support), it should be used with extreme caution. PostgreSQL The DROP TABLE command removes the table, including all associated indexes, triggers, rules, and constraints [1]. - Transactional Support: PostgreSQL supports DDL (Data Definition Language) transactions, meaning a DROP TABLE command can be rolled back if it is part of a transaction block that has not yet committed [4]. - Dependencies: By default, if other objects (such as views) depend on the table, the command will fail unless the CASCADE keyword is specified to remove those dependent objects [1]. MySQL The DROP TABLE command removes the table definition, all data, and any associated triggers [3][5]. - Transactional Support: MySQL generally performs an implicit commit before and after DDL statements [3][5]. Consequently, DROP TABLE in MySQL cannot typically be rolled back [4]. - Compatibility Keywords: While RESTRICT and CASCADE keywords are permitted syntax in MySQL, they currently do not perform any action and are supported primarily for compatibility with other database systems [3][5]. SQLite The DROP TABLE command removes the table from the database schema and the disk file [2]. All indices and triggers associated with the table are also deleted [2]. - Transactional Support: SQLite supports DDL transactions, allowing a DROP TABLE operation to be rolled back if it occurs within an active transaction [2][4]. - Foreign Keys: If foreign key constraints are enabled, SQLite executes an implicit DELETE FROM command before dropping the table; if this action violates any immediate foreign key constraints, the drop operation will fail [2]. Summary Table Database | Removes Definition & Data | Rollback Support | Dependency Handling:--- |:--- |:--- |:--- PostgreSQL | Yes [1] | Yes [4] | CASCADE/RESTRICT [1] MySQL | Yes [3] | No [3][4] | None (syntax only) [3] SQLite | Yes [2] | Yes [2][4] | Implicit DELETE [2]

Describe DROP TABLE scope accurately.

DROP TABLE users; removes the users table definition and all its data. Update the warning to include both effects. Qualify “cannot be undone” as applying after commit because PostgreSQL and SQLite can roll back this operation within a transaction.
