Design a caching strategy for an application — pattern selection, key design, TTL, and eviction policy. Use when asked to "add caching to this", "design a cache strategy", or "what should we cache".

Steps

Step 0: Confirm Context

Ask the user for any missing context needed to produce a useful output. If the request is clear, skip questions and proceed.

Step 1: Gather Context

Gather data types to cache, read/write ratio, staleness tolerance, and current database load profile.

Step 2: Produce Output

Output a caching design: pattern recommendation (cache-aside/write-through/read-through), key naming schema, TTL strategy, eviction policy, and Redis/Memcached config.

Step 3: Summary

Output a brief summary:

  • What was produced
  • Key risks or tradeoffs
  • Recommended next steps

Key Rules

  • Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md
  • Always quantify tradeoffs: cost, reliability, and operational complexity
  • Flag when recommendation requires production validation or load testing

Delivery

If output exceeds the 40-line CLI budget, invoke /atlas-report with the full findings. The HTML report is the output. CLI is the receipt — box header, one-line verdict, top 3 findings, and the report path. Never dump analysis to CLI.
