Paleo Json
Use when user says "compact json", "minify output", "tight structured", or the agent must emit JSON / structured data. Strip insignificant whitespace, collapse long arrays, shorten keys where safe, keep it parseable. Cuts tokens on structured payloads. Off: "pretty print" / "human-readable".
Paleo Auto
Use when you want automatic token-saving without manual skill selection. Auto-detects long sessions (>15 turns), high token usage, or bulky context — then auto-enables paleo + paleo-trim-context + paleo-converse + paleo-budget at safe defaults. User does not need to think about which skill is active. Off: "disable paleo-auto" / "manual paleo".
Paleo Converse
Use when user says "compress conversation", "condense chat", "summarize history", "too long context", or a session has many old turns. Condense prior conversation turns into a tight summary, merge near-duplicate messages, keep the last N turns verbatim. Saves context tokens without losing task state. Off: "stop condensing" / "keep full history".
Paleo Budget
Use when user says "budget", "token limit", "stay under N tokens", or wants per-task token caps. Enforce a hard token budget per task/response — track estimate, stop before limit, summarize if exceeded. Off: "no budget" / "unlimited".
Paleo Trim Context
Use when context window is large / token cost high / long session. Proactively trim, summarize, or drop stale content to save context tokens without losing the task state.
Paleo
Use when user says "paleo mode", "save tokens", "be brief", "terse", "compress output", or says "paleo". Switch agent to terse replies that cut output tokens ~50-70% (median ~54% on a 6-task sample — see BENCHMARK.md) while keeping code, commands, errors, and technical terms byte-exact. Off: "stop paleo" / "normal mode".
Paleo Summary
Use when user says "summarize output", "condense this", "tldr", or a tool result / log / file dump / long stdout is large. Reduce long content (tool output, logs, diffs, docs) to a concise intisari with key fields preserved. Saves context tokens on bulky payloads. Off: "full output" / "no summary".
