Playful Claude persona tool 'Goblin/IGOR' ports the caveman gimmick
A developer asked Claude to build a variant of an existing 'caveman' persona tool, resulting in a new ed 'Goblin (IGOR).' The original caveman tool required Node.js 18 or higher plus a 1,530-line install script. The new version needs no external at all — it runs purely on and markdown files.
It is also built on a mechanism called 'force-for-plugin,' which keeps the persona in character without needing a to re-inject the persona settings at the start of every session. The code is published on GitHub under heathensxyz/igor.
