Caveman Stats
Type /caveman-stats and get instant token counts and savings for your current session. Unlike most monitoring tools, this reads straight from the Claude Code session log instead of making the AI estimate usage. The hook blocks the command and injects the numbers directly, so the model never even sees the request. Useful when you're curious whether caveman mode is actually saving you tokens or if you're burning through your budget faster than you thought. No guesswork, just the raw numbers from your session.

In Claude Code, src/hooks/caveman-mode-tracker.js resolves src/hooks/caveman-stats.js next to itself and runs it on /caveman-stats. The hook does not block the prompt: it supplies the report through hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext with an instruction to print it verbatim inside a fenced code block. Do exactly that, and do not calculate, recompute or re-round the numbers yourself.
In Gemini CLI, direct the user to /stats model for current session token usage or /stats session for session statistics. Gemini custom commands are prompts; they cannot invoke the built-in command or read its live session metrics. Never read Claude Code transcripts as Gemini usage. In other hosts, use a native usage report if one is available; otherwise say that current session usage is unavailable. The Claude reader and its lifetime history apply only to Claude Code. Savings remain unknown in every host without a measured comparison.
