Read excerpt
## Activate When
- `/godmode:tokens`, "token budget", "how expensive was this loop", "context cost"
- Any multi-round skill (optimize, refactor, debug, bench, terse) that runs a loop with DECIDE/LOG boundaries
- At session end, when the user asks "is my token usage trending up or down?"
- NOT for live streaming or real-time metering — this is append-per-round observability only. If you want a live meter, use a shell prompt, not this skill.
- Opt-out: if `GODMODE_TOKENS=0` is set in the environment, this skill is a no-op. Privacy-sensitive workflows (medical, secrets, PII sweeps) can set this to disable all round-size logging for the session. Opt-out is sticky per session; never overridden by auto-activation.
## Inputs
Ask once, cache for the session:
- `session_id` — stable id for the run. Default: `date +%s` at session start, reused across every round.
- `skill` — the skill driving the current round (read from session-state.json, not re-asked).
- `round` — monotonic counter, read from session-state.json.
- `terse_on` — boolean. `1` if `$GODMODE_TERSE` is non-empty, else `0`.
- `rtk_detected` — `1` if `command -v rtk` returns zero, else `0`. Logged as environment context, not used for computation.
