What happens when I run the clear command?

The clear command deletes all .json cache files from the temporary wayback-cache directory, forcing all subsequent requests to fetch fresh data from the API.

Does the cache clear itself automatically?

Yes, cached entries expire automatically based on their TTL and are deleted when accessed after expiration.

How do I bypass the cache for a single request?

You can use the --no-cache flag with compatible scripts like check.ts or list.ts to skip the cache and fetch fresh data.

Where is the Wayback cache stored?

Cached responses are stored in your operating system's temporary directory under a 'wayback-cache' folder.

How long does the cache stay valid?

The TTL varies: Availability API data lasts 24 hours, CDX API data lasts 1 hour, and Save status polls expire in 30 seconds.

Manages local API response caching for Wayback Machine operations to optimize performance and ensure data freshness.

The Wayback Cache Management skill provides specialized tools for controlling how Claude interacts with archived web data by managing a local tmpdir-based cache. It enables users to clear stale API responses, monitor cache health, and check storage locations, ensuring that archive-related tasks like snapshots and availability checks remain accurate and efficient. This skill is essential for developers working with the Wayback Machine who need fine-grained control over API rate limiting and data consistency through intelligent TTL management and manual cache overrides.
