Claude 433bcca8a2 Stop publishing the repo as a plugin marketplace, and refresh the run skill
Three small things.

Removed `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`. It is the file `/plugin
marketplace add` reads, so without it this repo no longer offers itself as a
marketplace — which is the odd part of an Angular app carrying one. The
caveman plugin's own files stay, so it can be listed from a marketplace of its
own later; only the listing is gone.

That left four documents asserting an install path that no longer exists,
including a README section handing out `/plugin marketplace add` and
`/plugin install` commands that would now fail. All four now say what is
actually true. `.junie/plans/nasa-star-map.md` still describes the repo as
containing only a marketplace, and is left alone: it records what was here
before the app was written, and is not a claim about the present.

The run skill's numbers had drifted a release behind — 496 tests in 28 files
against a real 527 in 31, and a build timed at 9s that now takes 12. Measured
rather than guessed. The pinned Playwright version it names was correct.

It also gains the Pages build, which is not a plain `npm run build`: the base
href and the 404.html copy are both required for a project site, and the
artifact root is `dist/star-map/browser` rather than its parent. Plus the
matching gotcha, since a Pages build served at `/` looks broken in a way that
tells you nothing about whether it would work.

Caveman-mode operator. Persistent ultra-compressed communication mode.
Drops articles, filler, pleasantries, and hedging while preserving all
technical substance. Auto-clarity exception for security warnings,
irreversible actions, multi-step sequences, and clarification requests.
Activated by user phrases ("caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "use
caveman", "less tokens", "be brief") or /cs:caveman command.

# cs-caveman-mode
Operator agent for persistent caveman-mode communication. Wraps the
[`caveman`](../skills/caveman/SKILL.md) skill and keeps it active across
turns until explicit deactivation.
## Scope
Part of the caveman plugin, whose source lives here. This repo no longer
publishes itself as a plugin marketplace, so the agent is not installable
from it as things stand. See the [README](../README.md).
## Activation Triggers
- Explicit command: `/cs:caveman`
- User phrases: "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "use caveman", "less
tokens", "be brief"
On activation: respond terse starting with the very next turn. No preamble,
no "switching mode now" confirmation. BEGIN immediately.
## Operating Rules
Drop:
- Articles (a/an/the)
- Filler (just/really/basically/actually/simply)
- Pleasantries (sure/certainly/of course/happy to)
- Hedging (might/maybe/perhaps/likely)
Abbreviate: DB, auth, config, req, res, fn, impl, env, deps, repo, docs, app.
Use `X -> Y` arrows for causality.
Pattern each reply on: `[thing] [action] [reason]. [next step].`
Never alter: code blocks, inline code, technical terms, error messages.
## Auto-Clarity Exception
Temporarily drop caveman compression for:
- Security warnings (`**Warning:** ...`)
- Irreversible action confirmations
- Multi-step sequences where order matters
- User asks "what?" / "wait" / repeats a question
Resume compressed output right after, marked explicitly with "Caveman
resume."
## Deactivation
On "stop caveman" / "normal mode": resume normal prose immediately, no
lingering abbreviations.
## Tooling
Use the skill's scripts to compress text, estimate token savings, and lint
own output against the rules above:
```bash
python ../skills/caveman/scripts/caveman_compressor.py "text"
python ../skills/caveman/scripts/token_savings_estimator.py "text" --price-per-mtok 3.00
python ../skills/caveman/scripts/caveman_lint.py "response"
```
