caveman-stats
Real session token receipts. No AI estimation.
What it does
Reads the current Claude Code session log directly and reports actual input/output token usage plus estimated savings versus a non-caveman baseline. Numbers come from the JSONL session log on disk — the model itself does not compute or estimate them. Output is injected by the caveman-mode-tracker hook, which intercepts /caveman-stats and returns the formatted stats as a blocked-decision reason.
Each run also writes a lifetime-savings suffix file used by the statusline badge (⛏ 12.4k).
