New plugin slashes Claude token costs by up to 90%

By PulseAugur Editorial · Summary by gemini-2.5-flash-lite from 6 sources

A new plugin called prompt-caching aims to significantly reduce token costs when using Anthropic's Claude models, particularly Claude Code. The plugin automatically detects and caches stable parts of conversations, such as system prompts and file content, reducing token usage by up to 90% for repeated interactions. While Anthropic has introduced its own auto-caching feature, prompt-caching offers additional observability tools to analyze savings and debug cache misses. Separately, there is user confusion regarding the availability of the '-p' flag in Claude Code, and discussions about Claude Code's efficiency compared to other tools like Cursor. AI

    BOOTOSHI (@KingBootoshi) After Anthropic announced that 'claude -p' is available in subscription plans, confusion and policy changes/announcements that the '-p' flag cannot be used in Claude Code have led to growing dissatisfaction among developers. https:// x.com/

    BOOTOSHI (@KingBootoshi) Anthropic가 구독 플랜에서 'claude -p' 사용 가능하다고 안내한 뒤, Claude Code에서는 '-p' 플래그를 사용할 수 없다는 혼란스러운 정책 변경/안내가 이어져 개발자들의 불만이 커지고 있다. https:// x.com/KingBootoshi/status/2054 638470853968152 # anthropic # claude # cloudecode # developerexperience # ai
