caveman-stats

caveman-stats is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mrDesign-ww/vault-os. It costs 60 tokens per session (265 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of caveman-stats, MIT.

A session-statistics skill that reads the Claude Code log to show actual token use and estimated savings for the current session.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for checking token consumption, savings estimates, and whether the added rule overhead makes a workload cost more.
Why use it?
It provides usage figures from the session log rather than asking the model to estimate them, and reports rule overhead and net savings when available.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

caveman-stats scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to caveman-stats — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

This skill is delivered by hooks/caveman-stats.js (read by hooks/caveman-mode-tracker.js on /caveman-stats). The model does not need to do anything when this skill fires — the hook returns decision: "block" with the formatted stats as the reason. The user sees the numbers immediately.

Output also includes Est. rule overhead and Est. net lines wherever a savings estimate exists with a known turn count. Rule overhead is the estimated per-turn INPUT-token cost of the injected caveman rules (default 1,250 tokens/turn, override with CAVEMAN_RULE_OVERHEAD_TOKENS) times the turn count. Net is savings minus that overhead — when negative, the output says so plainly and suggests turning caveman off for that workload, rather than hiding the net-negative regime behind a gross-savings number (see docs/HONEST-NUMBERS.md).

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
