About

Keep Claude Code's prompt cache warm during breaks.

Cache Tax is a Claude Code mod that refreshes your prompt cache while you step away and shows the estimated rewrite cost before a cold send. Run `/keepwarm 90m` before a break. Pings cost tokens; choose a window you expect to return within.

A two-line recap in a 330k-token session triggered a $6.61 estimate. After resending, the reported cache write was $6.28. Recorded on 2.1.1; current wording says “up to” the estimated token count. These are API-equivalent costs, not extra subscription charges.
