What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by tradingstrategy-ai/getting-started in .claude/skills/clear-backtesting-cache/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Delete the indicator cache directory at ~/.cache/indicators/.

This cache stores pre-calculated indicator results (e.g. from grid search / optimiser runs) as pickle files on disk. Clearing it forces indicators to be recalculated on the next notebook run.

rm -rf ~/.cache/indicators

After deleting, report the size of the deleted directory if available, or confirm deletion.

If this is an optimiser notebook, also delete its optimiser cache folder. The cache path should appear in the perform_optimisation() output, for example:

/Users/moo/.cache/tradingstrategy/grid-search/42-hyperliquid-univ-daily-august-start
