genshijin Help (caveman-mode cheat sheet)
A one-shot reference card listing every genshijin mode, sub-skill trigger and off-switch for the ultra-terse Japanese output style.

What it does
- Invoked by
/genshijin-help(or Japanese phrases like 原始人ヘルプ), it prints a single reference card covering the three terseness levels (polite / normal / extreme), sub-skills, and how to exit. - Strictly read-only: it must not change modes, write flags, or persist state.
- Documents how to set the default mode via the
GENSHIJIN_DEFAULT_MODEenv var or~/.config/genshijin/config.json, with precedence env var > config file > normal. - Lists companion skills:
genshijin-commit(Conventional Commits, subject ≤50 chars) andgenshijin-review(one-line PR comments).
Who it's for
- Japanese-speaking Claude users who want blunt, keyword-style answers instead of long polite prose.
- Anyone already running the genshijin suite who keeps forgetting the commands.
- Team leads onboarding others onto the genshijin workflow.
Examples
/genshijin-help→ table of the three levels plus the cancel phrase ("原始人やめて").- Lock in maximum terseness:
export GENSHIJIN_DEFAULT_MODE=極限, then start a new session. - Disable auto-start: write
{"defaultMode": "off"}to the config file and invoke/genshijinonly on demand.

Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the skills/genshijin-help folder from the GitHub repo InterfaceX-co-jp/genshijin into my ~/.claude/skills/genshijin-help/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/InterfaceX-co-jp/genshijin.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r genshijin/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal and clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/InterfaceX-co-jp/genshijin.git - Create the skills folder if needed:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skills over (install the whole suite, not just the help card):
cp -r genshijin/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/ - Restart Claude Code.
- Type
/genshijin-helpin chat to confirm the reference card appears. - (Optional) Change the default mode by adding
export GENSHIJIN_DEFAULT_MODE=通常to your shell profile, or creating~/.config/genshijin/config.json.
