How does prompt caching help reduce LLM costs?

Prompt caching allows you to store frequently used prefixes or context once and reuse them across multiple requests, significantly reducing the cost of processing those tokens in subsequent calls.

What are the risks of caching LLM responses?

The primary risks include serving stale or incorrect information if invalidation logic is missing, and increased latency if the cache-miss overhead is not properly managed.

What is Cache Augmented Generation (CAG)?

CAG is an alternative to RAG where you pre-cache entire document sets in the LLM's prompt window, allowing for faster and more consistent information retrieval without the complexity of a vector database.

Does this skill work with Anthropic's native features?

Yes, it includes specific patterns and best practices for implementing Anthropic's native prompt caching capabilities to ensure optimal prefix matching.
