council-clear-cache

council-clear-cache is a command for Claude Code from sergei-aronsen/claude-code-toolkit. It costs 16 tokens per session (398 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that deletes all saved results from the Council review cache. The Council is a tool that reviews plans, and the cache can replay an older review for the same request.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clear cached Council reviews, force a new review, or remove cached files that are taking up space.
Why use it?
It removes stale results after a plan changes or when you need a fresh review. It also avoids confusing cached answers when comparing prompt wording.

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

council-clear-cache scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 5d ago.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

/council clear-cache

Remove every cached /council result from ~/.claude/council/cache/. Use it after editing your plan when the cache is masking your changes, or when you want to force a fresh review.

Purpose

The Council caches identical requests by content hash so repeated /council "<same plan>" calls inside the TTL (default 7 days) replay the previous result without making API calls. This is great for cost control but can be confusing if you tweaked the plan slightly and want the reviewers to see the new version. clear-cache is the escape hatch.

When to Use

Situation Use /council clear-cache
Cached verdict feels stale after a rebase yes — git HEAD changed but maybe not enough to invalidate
You want to A/B two prompt phrasings yes — otherwise the second is a hit
You want a full re-review without --no-cache yes
Disk usage on the cache dir matters yes

Usage

When the user types /council clear-cache (or asks to clear the Council cache), invoke:

brain clear-cache

This empties ~/.claude/council/cache/*.json and prints the count of removed entries. Show the output verbatim.

For a one-off bypass without clearing the cache, suggest the --no-cache flag instead:

brain --no-cache "<plan>"

Notes

  • The cache directory is left in place; only the JSON files are removed.
  • Cache TTL is configurable via config.cache.ttl_days in ~/.claude/council/config.json (default 7 days).
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
