cache-strategy-planner

cache-strategy-planner is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from codebygarv/Ai-skills. It costs 30 tokens per session (392 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning guide for using several cache layers, which temporarily store frequently requested data to avoid repeated database or API work. It covers browser or CDN storage, shared stores such as Redis, and application memory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing caching for busy databases or slow external APIs, setting expiration and invalidation rules, or preventing traffic surges when cached data expires.
Why use it?
It helps choose where data should be cached and how long it should remain there. It also addresses stale data and cache stampedes, when many requests simultaneously overwhelm the original service after an entry expires.

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

cache-strategy-planner 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 4d 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

Purpose

Architect robust, multi-layer caching strategies (HTTP/CDN edge, distributed Redis/Memcached, in-process local memory) with explicit TTLs, cache invalidation hooks, and cache stampede (thundering herd) protections.

When to Use

  • High-read database bottlenecks or slow third-party API response times.
  • Designing CDN caching rules (Cache-Control, stale-while-revalidate, surrogate keys).
  • Fixing cache stampedes that crash origin servers when popular cache keys expire.

What to Analyze

  1. Cache Tier Selection: L1 (In-memory LRU, sub-millisecond) vs L2 (Redis Cluster, 1-2ms) vs Edge CDN (Cloudflare/Fastly).
  2. Write Strategy: Cache-Aside (Lazy Loading), Write-Through, Write-Behind (Write-Back).
  3. Invalidation Policy: Time-To-Live (TTL) with jitter vs Event-driven explicit key purge vs Tag-based invalidation.
  4. Stampede & Thundering Herd Defense: Mutex locking (singleflight pattern) or probabilistic early expiration (XFetch algorithm).
  5. Serialization & Memory Footprint: Protobuf, MessagePack, or compressed JSON over raw strings.

Output Format

  • Caching Architecture Diagram: Data flow between Client, CDN, Redis, and Database.
  • Cache Policy Table: [Data Type | Storage Tier | TTL | Invalidation Trigger | Stampede Defense].
  • Singleflight / Cache Wrapper Code: Production-ready caching utility with fallback.

Avoid

  • Caching mutable data without a clear invalidation strategy.
  • Omitting TTL jitter (all cache keys expiring at the exact same second).
Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

cache-strategy-planner is a skill published in the GitHub repository codebygarv/Ai-skills (24 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 392 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
