## Prompt Caching
Cache large context to reduce costs (up to 90% savings).
Cache large context to reduce costs (up to 90% savings). **Caching is a prefix match** — any byte change anywhere in the prefix invalidates everything after it. For placement patterns, architectural guidance (frozen system prompt, deterministic tool order, where to put volatile content), and the silent-invalidator audit checklist, read `shared/prompt-caching.md`.
### Automatic Caching (Recommended)

### Verifying Cache Hits
```python
print(response.usage.cache_creation_input_tokens) # tokens written to cache (~1.25x cost)
print(response.usage.cache_read_input_tokens) # tokens served from cache (~0.1x cost)
print(response.usage.input_tokens) # uncached tokens (full cost)
```
If `cache_read_input_tokens` is zero across repeated identical-prefix requests, a silent invalidator is at work — `datetime.now()` or a UUID in the system prompt, unsorted `json.dumps()`, or a varying tool set. See `shared/prompt-caching.md` for the full audit table.
