Prompt Cache Control Tops 3,000 Downloads

Prompt Cache Control, a Claude Code mod for monitoring prompt-cache hits, misses, token usage, and expiry, has surpassed 3,000 downloads. Its visibility reflects growing developer interest in controlling context costs during long coding sessions.

// ANALYSIS

Prompt caching is becoming operational hygiene for agentic development, and this mod turns an invisible billing mechanic into actionable terminal feedback.

  • –Shows cache-read, cache-write, and uncached token counts per request
  • –Tracks cache expiry and explains misses caused by model, prefix, or timing changes
  • –Suggests `/compact` or `/clear` before expensive cold-cache requests
  • –Useful for developers running large Claude Code sessions where cache misses can multiply input costs
  • –Its broad access to files, settings, environment variables, and model calls makes source review essential before installation
