name	caveman-stats
description	Estimate caveman token savings — compare a normal-prose baseline against its compressed form and report tokens-in / tokens-out / % reduction. Heuristic estimate (≈4 chars/token), not exact billing. TRIGGER when: /caveman-stats invoked, or asked how much caveman saved.

Caveman Stats

Report token savings. Read core rules first: .claude/skills/caveman/SKILL.md.

Modes

• Inline: given a normal-prose sample, produce its full-level compression and report both counts.
• --session: estimate savings across caveman-active responses this session (qualitative if no exact counts available — say so).

Method

• Heuristic token estimate: tokens ≈ ceil(chars / 4). State this is an approximation, not exact API billing.
• Report: baseline → compressed (-NN%).

Example

baseline:    69 tok
compressed:  19 tok
saved:       50 tok (-72%)

Honesty rule: never inflate the savings figure. If unmeasurable, say "estimate only".
