Can I preview which files will be removed before committing?

Yes, the skill includes a dry-run mode that lists all entries, sizes, and the reasons for deletion before any actual files are removed.

What is the benefit of clearing 'expired' entries?

Clearing expired entries keeps your cache lean by removing documents that have surpassed their Time-To-Live (TTL) setting, ensuring the AI doesn't rely on stale information.

Does clearing the cache delete my original source documents?

No, clearing the cache only removes the local copies stored for the AI. Your source documents remain untouched and will be re-fetched automatically when next accessed.

How do I clear only specific files?

You can use the 'pattern' scope with a glob filter to target specific directories, file names, or extensions within your documentation cache.

Developer Tools

Purges and manages cached documentation entries using precise filters and safe deletion workflows.

About

The Codex Cache Manager skill provides a robust interface for maintaining the Fractary Codex cache, allowing developers to remove stale, expired, or specific documentation entries. By delegating operations to the Fractary CLI, it ensures atomic index updates and provides critical safety features such as dry-run previews and mandatory confirmation for full cache purges. This ensures your AI context remains fresh and your local storage stays optimized without risking accidental data loss.

Key Features

Atomic index updates: Maintains cache consistency using the underlying TypeScript SDK.
2 GitHub stars
Mandatory confirmation: Protects against accidental broad deletions for 'all' scope operations.
Safe dry-run previews: Inspect exactly which entries will be removed before execution.
Scope-based purging: Clear all, expired, or specific entries matching glob patterns.
Automatic re-fetching: Seamlessly repopulates deleted documents upon next access.

Use Cases

Targeted clearing of specific project files to force a sync of updated source material.
Optimizing local storage by removing large volumes of cached documentation no longer in use.
Refreshing outdated documentation that has reached its expiration (TTL) limit.
