About this mod

cache-watch is one of several mods in the claude-code-mods repository, each in its own folder. This mod hooks into Claude Code turns to detect when the prompt cache was rebuilt and surfaces a toast with the tokens written, the turn cost, and the likely cause such as an idle gap or a model change. The repository README documents installation by cloning into ~/.claude/mods and listing mod folders in CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_DIRS within ~/.claude/settings.json, plus validation via claude plugin validate.

Installation
