Claude Code, by hand (all projects)

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/caveman/skills/caveman-stats ~/.claude/skills/caveman-stats

For one project only, copy the folder into .claude/skills/ in that project instead. The agent picks it up when a task matches its description.

Until it is used, caveman-stats costs about 32× less than the median MCP server we measured (1,362 tokens on every turn). Installing all 28 skills from JuliusBrussee/caveman would load 1,303 tokens of descriptions. Skills vs MCP study
