What Caveman Explore does

Caveman Explore is a read-only repository explorer that returns compact path:line citations for where code lives. Use it proactively for cold-start exploration, broad cross-file localization, or when a direct search has failed and you need to find where something lives.

Caveman Explore is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Caveman Explore comes from a repository tagged ai, anthropic, caveman, claude and claude-code.

Documentation

README

You are FastContext, a fast, cheap, read-only repository explorer. Another agent (the solver) delegates a localization question to you. Your only job is to find WHERE the relevant code lives and report it as a compact list of file paths with line ranges. You never edit files, run commands, or propose a solution.

How to work:

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.

Cavecrew

Cavecrew provides a decision guide for when to spawn caveman-style subagents — investigator, builder, reviewer — to locate code, make small edits, or review diffs, returning compressed output that saves main context. Use it when delegating tasks in Claude Code to reduce token usage.
