What it does
Caveman Stats is an agent skill from goern/forgejo-mcp. Show real token usage and estimated savings for the current session, read from the session log. Trigger: /caveman-stats.
Its SKILL.md is about 250 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `README.md`).
The repository describes itself as: MIRROR ONLY!! This Model Context Protocol (MCP) server provides tools and resources for interacting with the Forgejo (specifically Codeberg.org) REST API. The licence is GPL-3.0.
Example prompts
- “/caveman-stats”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1f51f83. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Caveman Stats loads about 252 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 117 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- description
- Show real token usage and estimated savings for the current session, read from the session log. Trigger: /caveman-stats.
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).
