Report what the attic costs and what it holds, measured from local session transcripts. Use when the user asks "is the attic worth it", "attic stats", "how many tokens is this saving", "how big is the attic", or questions the plugin's value.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Attic stats
```bash
node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/attic-stats.js"
```
Print what it reports. Then follow these rules when discussing it:
1. **Lead with the verdict, not the contents.** The user is asking whether
this is worth keeping on. The `What this means` block answers that; the
item counts do not.
2. **If it says NOT EARNING ITS KEEP, say so first and plainly.** Do not
soften it or bury it under what the attic contains. Suggest `/attic off`,
or ask what they were expecting to recall that they never did.
3. **Never invent a savings percentage.** The script deliberately produces
none, because token spend depends on the task. Quote what is measured:
index cost, citations, repeat file reads.
4. **Two numbers carry the answer.** *Cited in replies* is how often the
model answered from the attic instead of re-reading. *Repeat file reads*
is the share of reads that an earlier session had already done — the thing
the plugin exists to reduce, so lower is better.
5. **Early sessions look bad and that is expected.** The session that writes
pays; later sessions collect. If there is one session and no citations,
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add nishikantaray/attic/attic-stats@sha256:023ed3b1fcd25ba1The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.6.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
