# caveman vs go-micro

caveman and go-micro share 5 technologies: net/http, pgx, SQLite, Postgres, and LangChain. Both are written in Go.

- [JuliusBrussee/caveman](https://seerepo.com/r/JuliusBrussee/caveman): 🪨 why use many token when few token do trick. Viral skill + proxy for coding agents that cuts 65% of tokens by talking like a caveman.
- [micro/go-micro](https://seerepo.com/r/micro/go-micro): A framework for agents, tools and services

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: net/http, pgx, SQLite, Postgres, LangChain
- Only in caveman: Anthropic, MCP, ai, @clack/prompts, @ai-sdk/provider, @mastra/core, earendil-works, typebox, Ajv
- Only in go-micro: go-redis, go-sqlite3, pq, NATS.io, github.com/nats-io/nats-server/v2, RabbitMQ, Redis, github.com/patrickmn/go-cache, etcd, MySQL, charm.land/glamour/v2, github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5, Pydantic, OpenTelemetry, go.opentelemetry.io/otel, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk, go.uber.org/zap, Prometheus, github.com/prometheus/client_model

## Side by side

| | caveman | go-micro |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 334,943 lines written, 435 code files | 138,184 lines written, 500 code files |
| Who writes it | 74.4% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code and Cursor | 20.5% of its commits signed by AI. With Codex, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot |
| Activity | Last push November 4, 2026, 1,640 commits, 117,395 stars | Last push October 29, 2026, 4,427 commits, 23,083 stars |
| Tests | 711 test files. 72.6% of its code files have a test that imports them | 286 test files. 62.8% of its code files have a test that imports them |

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
