…d descriptions The active-mode reminder and skill boundaries told the model to write code, commits, and security warnings in normal prose, but said nothing about issue, pull-request, and merge-request titles and descriptions. Those are prose artifacts that should not be compressed into caveman fragments. Extend the boundary line across all source-of-truth surfaces: the per-turn UserPromptSubmit reminder (src/hooks/caveman-mode-tracker.js), the SessionStart ruleset (src/hooks/caveman-activate.js), the caveman skill doc (skills/caveman/SKILL.md), the auto-activation rule body (src/rules/caveman-activate.md), the per-repo init template (src/tools/caveman-init.js), and the opencode plugin reminder and command (src/plugins/opencode/).

Summary
The active-mode reminder and skill boundaries already tell the model to write code, commits, and security warnings in normal prose. They say nothing about issue, pull-request, and merge-request titles and descriptions — which are prose artifacts that should not be compressed into caveman fragments. In practice the model writes terse fragmented PR/MR/issue text while caveman mode is active.
This extends the existing boundary line to explicitly cover issue/PR/MR titles and descriptions, across every source-of-truth surface that carries the carve-out (CI mirrors under
plugins/are left untouched and regenerate from these).Changes
