caching-patterns

caching-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bugrabilge/bilge-development-kit. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,830 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to caching web data at the browser, CDN, application, database, and framework layers. A cache keeps reusable results temporarily so they can be served faster.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan browser or CDN caching, Redis or in-memory caches, database query caching, and React or Next.js data caching.
Why use it?
It helps reduce repeated work and slow data fetching while choosing how long different kinds of data should remain cached.

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

caching-patterns 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.

Caching Patterns Skill

Comprehensive caching strategies for every layer of a web application.

Cache Decision Framework

Is the data expensive to compute/fetch?
|
+-- NO -> Don't cache (complexity not worth it)
|
+-- YES -> How often does it change?
    |
    +-- Never/rarely -> Long TTL (hours/days) + CDN
    |
    +-- Every few minutes -> Short TTL (30s-5min) + stale-while-revalidate
    |
    +-- Real-time -> Don't cache, or cache with instant invalidation
    |
    +-- Per-user -> Application cache (Redis) with user-scoped keys

Caching Layers

Layer What TTL Tools
Browser Static assets, API responses Hours-Years Cache-Control headers
CDN Static files, pages, API responses Minutes-Days Cloudflare, Vercel Edge
Application Computed data, API results Seconds-Hours Redis, Upstash, in-memory
Database Query results Seconds-Minutes Query cache, materialized views
Framework Components, routes, data Varies Next.js cache, React Query

Browser Caching (HTTP Cache Headers)

Cache-Control Directives

Directive Use Case Example
public, max-age=31536000, immutable Hashed static assets (JS, CSS, images) app.a1b2c3.js
public, max-age=0, must-revalidate HTML pages index.html
private, max-age=300 User-specific API responses /api/me/profile
no-store Sensitive data /api/auth/session
stale-while-revalidate=60 Fresh enough + fast API responses

Strategy by Content Type

Content Strategy Why
JS/CSS (hashed) immutable, max-age=1y Hash changes on update
Images (hashed) immutable, max-age=1y Same as above
HTML no-cache or max-age=0, must-revalidate Always check for updates
API (public) max-age=60, stale-while-revalidate=300 Fresh enough
API (private) private, max-age=0 or no-store User-specific or sensitive
Fonts max-age=1y Rarely change

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.
