check-cache-bugs

check-cache-bugs is a command for coding agents from FlorianBruniaux/claude-code-plugins. It costs 39 tokens per session (3,860 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that checks a Claude Code installation for known cache, session-resume, configuration, and attribution problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit Claude Code versions, configuration files, project instructions, skills, hooks, shell profiles, and installed Claude binaries.
Why use it?
It helps identify whether the installed version or local setup is affected by documented bugs before they cause confusing results or extra costs.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

check-cache-bugs scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Check Cache Bugs (CC#40524)

Audit your Claude Code setup for cache and cost bugs discovered in March–April 2026.

Time: ~30 seconds | Scope: version, config files, CLAUDE.md, skills, hooks, shell profiles, all claude binaries

Note on cache contamination: This skill loads content containing cch= strings into the current session's message array. For cleanest results, run this command at the very start of a fresh session — or via claude -p "$(cat .claude/commands/check-cache-bugs.md)" as a one-shot print-mode invocation.

Background

Fix Status (current as of v2.1.92)

Bug Versions affected Status
Bug 1 — cch sentinel (standalone binary) v2.1.36–v2.1.90 FIXED in v2.1.91
Bug 2 — deferred_tools_delta on --resume v2.1.69–v2.1.89 FIXED in v2.1.90
Bug 3 — attribution header per-session hash v2.1.69+ Active (env var workaround)
B4 — Microcompact / silent context stripping all versions through v2.1.92 Active (GrowthBook controlled)
B5 — Tool result budget cap 200K all versions through v2.1.92 Active (MCP tools exempted)

Original three bugs (CC#40524)

  • Bug 1 (FIXED v2.1.91): Bun's native HTTP layer did a same-length byte replacement of the cch=00000 attestation placeholder after JSON.stringify but before TLS. Triggered only if cch=00000 appeared literally in messages[] content. Confirmed closed — npm and standalone binary are now equivalent on v2.1.91+.

  • Bug 2 (FIXED v2.1.90): The session JSONL writer stripped deferred_tools_delta attachment records before writing to disk. On --resume, those records were absent — the deferred tools layer had no prior history and re-announced all tools from scratch, shifting every message position and breaking the messages-level cache prefix entirely. Each resume rebuilt 87-118K tokens as cache_creation. Anthropic tracked internally as inc-4747.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
