Layman — AI Output, Finally in English

🪵 Built on Caveman. Upgraded for humans.

Layman
explains what
changed.

Many agents do work. User still confused.
Layman turns giant technical dumps into short,
plain-English handoffs people actually read.

Noise in.
Clarity out.

AI agents ship code fast. The bottleneck is understanding what they just did. Layman fixes that.

Before — noise overload
Refactored auth flow by introducing
schema-level validation and response
normalization in authSubmitHandler().
Added defensive null guards for
payload.user and payload.session,
split error branches by transport vs
domain failure…

Readable
After — Layman summary
Done:
– Fixed login form when credentials wrong
– Prevented crashes from bad server data
– Added clear error messages

Why it matters:
Users get calm, clear messages instead
of a broken screen.


Check this:
Try one bad login + one valid login.

/layman
Summary (default)

Done / Why it matters / What changed / Check this. The handoff that actually gets read.

Done: Fixed login bug
Why it matters: Users see clear errors
Check this: Try bad credentials
/layman explain
Explain

More context, plain terms defined, deeper reasoning. For when your team needs the full picture.

Short version: Signup catches bad input earlier.
Terms: Validation = checking format before send.
/layman lite
Lite

One sentence. Maximum brevity. Minimum tokens. Great for high-frequency agent loops.

Expiry check used “<” instead of “<=”.
/layman ultra
Ultra

Absolute compression. Near-zero token cost. For when you need Caveman speed at its fastest.

Expiry “<=” bug. Fix.
