Cachetoast
Cachetoast is a coding agent tool that holds prompts for expired cache sessions and provides local handoffs.
Cachetoast is a utility designed for coding agents to prevent paying full price for prompt re-reads after a session cache expires. When a session with at least 100k tokens is idle past its cache deadline, it holds the first prompt and offers a handoff to continue in a fresh session. It works locally with zero dependencies, network access, or telemetry. The tool supports Claude Code, Codex, and Pi. It creates local extracts of requests, replies, compaction summaries, and Git status to facilitate session rotation.
