Read the file `skinflint/stats` inside the Claude Code configuration
folder (`$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` if set, otherwise `~/.claude`). It holds up to
five lines: `saved <bytes>`, `events <count>`, `reply <bytes>`,
`replies <count>` and `injected <bytes>`. A missing line counts as 0. Do not
read any other file there. If the file does not exist, say that nothing has
been recorded yet and stop.
Report four figures, each in bytes and in tokens (bytes divided by 4,
rounded), one short line each:
1. Tool output trimmed: `saved`, across `events` tool results. Measured.
2. Replies: `reply * 33 / 67`, across `replies` replies. Say plainly that
this one is an estimate built on a measurement: the plugin's benchmark ran
the same tool-using tasks with and without the plugin, and with it Claude's
final replies were 67% of the size. That measured ratio is applied here to the replies actually
written, because in a live session each prompt is answered only once, with
the plugin on, so there is no second reply to compare against.
3. Cost of the plugin: `injected`, the rules and reminders it adds to the
conversation. Measured.
4. Net: the first plus the second minus the third.
Then one sentence of context: trimmed tool output and the plugin's own text
are input, which is sent again with each later request in the session, and
replies are output, which costs several times more per token than input, so
the net in bytes understates the saving in money when the reply figure is
the large one.
