## Deactivate

Say "stop caveman" or "normal mode". Resume anytime with `/caveman`.

## Configure Default Mode

Default mode = `full`. Change it:

**Environment variable** (highest priority):

```bash
export CAVEMAN_DEFAULT_MODE=ultra
```

**Config file** (`~/.config/caveman/config.json`):

```json
{ "defaultMode": "lite" }
```

Set `"off"` to disable auto-activation on session start. User can still activate manually with `/caveman`.

Resolution: env var > config file > `full`.
