Welcome — what this community is about

[cnighswonger]

This is the discussion space for the claude-code-cache-fix ecosystem — the interceptor, claude-code-meter, the VS Code extension, and the ongoing investigation into Claude Code's cache and quota mechanics.

What belongs here:

• Questions about setup and configuration
• Sharing your cache hit rates, quota observations, and session data
• Discussion of new Claude Code releases and how they affect caching
• Feature ideas for the interceptor, meter, or VS Code extension
• Analysis of the cost model — peak vs off-peak, model splits, exponent findings

What we're building:

• claude-code-cache-fix — Prompt cache interceptor (110+ stars)
• claude-code-meter — Community cost analytics with live dashboard
• VS Code extension — One-click activation for VS Code users
• Blog series — Technical analysis of cache mechanics

Our posture: We build tools, not grievances. Anthropic's engineering is competent. The cache bugs are real and fixable. We work within the TOS and aim for a constructive relationship with the vendor and the community.

One rule: Keep it factual. Data-backed criticism of any tool, vendor, or approach is welcome — that's how the community improves. Subjective rants, personal attacks, and conspiracy theories are not. If you can't point to a log line, a header, or a reproducible test case, it's probably not ready for this forum.

7 community contributors so far. All code is open source, all telemetry is local-only, and the interceptor has been independently audited.
