codemaster is a Claude Code skill in the AI & Agent Building category. Two meta-skills that change how Claude works with you: caveman (ultra-terse replies, ~75% fewer tokens) and grill-me (relentless plan interview before you build).

What it does
Two meta-skills that change how Claude works with you: caveman (ultra-terse replies, ~75% fewer tokens) and grill-me (relentless plan interview before you build).
README.md
claude-kit
Three add-ons that make Claude Code work better. Built by Alex.
Two of them install in about two minutes by pasting two lines into Claude Code. The third (dream-machine) is a bit more technical and optional — details at the bottom.
What you get
| Tool | What it does | How you trigger it |
|---|---|---|
| caveman | Makes Claude answer in short, no-fluff bursts. Same information, way fewer words — and ~75% cheaper on tokens. Great when you just want the answer. | Type /codemaster:caveman |
| grill-me | Before you build something, Claude interviews you one question at a time until the plan is airtight. Catches the holes before you waste time. | Type /codemaster:grill-me |
| dream-machine | A background "health check" that keeps your Claude setup from quietly going dumb over time. (Optional, more technical — see bottom.) | Runs on its own |
Install the two skills (caveman + grill-me)
Open Claude Code and paste these two lines, one at a time:
/plugin marketplace add alexlacroix613-creator/claude-kit
/plugin install codemaster@claude-kit
That's it. You now have /codemaster:caveman and /codemaster:grill-me.
Using them
- Want short answers? Type
/codemaster:caveman. Claude stays terse until you say "stop caveman" or "normal mode." - About to plan a project? Type
/codemaster:grill-me, then describe what you want to build. Claude will ask you sharp questions one at a time.
Updating later
When Alex ships an improvement, just run:
/plugin marketplace update claude-kit
dream-machine (optional, more technical)
This one is a separate tool with its own home. It's a small program that runs quietly and tells you when your Claude setup has drifted (memory file too big, broken file references, dead scheduled jobs). It only reports — it never changes your files.
It needs a terminal and Python 3.11+. If that's not your world, skip it — caveman and grill-me above are the main event.
If you want it:
git clone https://github.com/alexlacroix613-creator/dream-machine.git
cd dream-machine
./install.sh
dream run
Full instructions live in that project's own README.
Questions?
Ask Alex. Or just type /codemaster:grill-me and let Claude figure out what you actually want. 🙂
