application-cache-change

application-cache-change is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dayfinggg/openai-codex-agent-skills. It costs 42 tokens per session (364 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for changing application or Redis caches while preserving correct data. Redis is a fast data store often used to hold temporary cached results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing cache keys, expiration times, invalidation, serialization, cache-aside code, locks, or Redis failure handling.
Why use it?
It helps prevent stale, mixed-up, unauthorized, or incorrectly shared data. It also covers races, failed cache operations, duplicate misses, expiration, and compatibility during releases.

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

application-cache-change 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 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.

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

Preserve the application's data contract while changing its cache.

  1. Establish the source of truth, existing cache client and server versions, serialization format, key construction, TTL, and invalidation path. Identify shared keys and all readers and writers.
  2. Determine which inputs affect the cached value. Include the verified identity and schema dimensions needed for correctness. Do not assume that a namespaced key replaces authorization.
  3. Trace writes, commits, events, and invalidation. Check races between reading old data, writing new data, and repopulating the cache. Publish invalidation at the appropriate transaction boundary.
  4. Define behavior for simultaneous misses, partial failures, negative results, and unavailable Redis. Use bounded concurrency or existing atomic primitives where needed. Do not silently make a correctness-critical store optional.
  5. For locks, verify ownership tokens, expiration, renewal, and atomic release against the actual client and Redis version. A successful SET does not by itself establish a distributed correctness guarantee.
  6. Check compatibility of serialized values during rolling releases. Avoid clearing all keys or changing global Redis settings to resolve one application's issue.
  7. Verify miss, hit, update, expiration, concurrent access, and relevant outage paths. Measure origin load and latency only with comparable data and conditions.

Use installed Redis specialists for command, connection, or cluster details. Preserve durability-sensitive data that happens to share the Redis instance.

Consult Redis caching patterns and version-matched client documentation. Finish with evidence that both cached and uncached behavior satisfy the requested contract.

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.
