kc-cache-insight

To preserve codebase understanding for cross-session reuse, you can cache concise file insights into a context lake. This Skill validates the target file, generates a 3-8 sentence English summary for confirmation, and stores it for long-term FTS5 search retrieval.

The best way to summarize file purpose and dependencies during code exploration is to trigger a context caching operation on the target file. It reads the file to extract key functions, callers, and gotchas, presenting a draft summary for your approval before storage.

Yes, you can search cached code insights by file path or keyword using FTS5 search. Once insights are stored in the context lake, they become searchable across sessions, allowing you to retrieve file summaries and usage patterns quickly.

Yes, generating a code summary requires manual confirmation before storing. The Skill reads and validates the target file, drafts an English summary, and waits for your approval before calling the store_insight MCP with the source set to manual.

Storing code insights in a context lake improves developer productivity by preventing the loss of transient understanding gained during code exploration. It enables cross-session reuse, provides repo-level dashboards, and surfaces hit/miss statistics for context savings.

A cached file insight for effective FTS5 search should include a 3-8 sentence English summary detailing the file's purpose, callers, key functions, usage patterns, dependencies, and notable gotchas. This ensures comprehensive searchability and context recovery.
