| 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".
