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.
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
