Verified against filed reports and applied minimal rewordings:
- never-drop-negations rule — dropping not/never inverts instructions (#670)
- tool-call silence defined: no preamble/progress notes around calls (#713, #714)
- language rule de-named: removes Portuguese/Spanish attractor tokens that
drove drift under compaction; every emitted line in session language
(#665, #654, #701, #539)
- particles/postpositions exempt from article-dropping — Korean/Japanese
case markers are grammar, not filler (#680)
- classical chars scoped to wenyan modes only; Auto-Clarity example marked
format-only so warnings render in session language (#679, #680)
- switch line covers all six levels + off (#549, #670)
- persisted-text boundary: docs/issues/PR text/memory files write normal
(#483, #562, #582, #670)
- wenyan-full row: character reduction labeled chars-not-tokens
Supersedes PRs #715#702#684#685#667#654#658#549#670#483#562#582
with local implementations. Eval snapshots need regeneration (API-gated).

README headline now states the measured range with method (65% avg vs
verbose default from benchmarks/, ~50% median vs 'Answer concisely.'
control from evals/) plus explicit caveat: input tokens untouched,
session-level savings smaller. Stats box shows output vs input split,
drops the unmeasured ~3x speed row. Same ~75% claim corrected in
SKILL.md description (+ synced plugin copy and dist/caveman.skill),
plugin.json, marketplace.json, gemini-extension.json, caveman-init
rule frontmatter, skill README, and CLAUDE.md.
Note for maintainer: the GitHub repo description still says 'cuts 65%
of tokens' — should read 'cuts ~50-65% of output tokens (measured)'.
Not changeable from a local commit.

Verbatim copies of edited sources into the CI-managed plugins/caveman mirror and rebuilt dist/caveman.skill, so local main is self-consistent without a push. CI's sync-skill.yml regenerates these on push; this just keeps verify_repo green locally.

The caveman.skill ZIP is regenerated by CI on every push and lived at
the repo root, where users mistook it for an editable source. Moving it
to dist/ makes its build-product nature obvious while keeping it
tracked so GitHub release links and npm packaging keep working.
Updates:
- git mv caveman.skill -> dist/caveman.skill
- .github/workflows/sync-skill.yml rebuild step now writes to dist/
- .gitignore ignores dist/* but allows dist/caveman.skill
- package.json files array includes dist/caveman.skill for npm pack
- CONTRIBUTING.md and tests/verify_repo.py path references updated
