Cachetoast is a zero-dependency Node.js tool that prevents expensive prompt cache expiration in AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Pi) by triggering native compaction when sessions go idle and holding prompts once if compaction fails. It offers a lightweight local workflow with TTL-aware timers and session handoff, reducing re-read costs for large contexts.

Target audience: AI-assisted developers and devops using Claude Code, Codex, or Pi for large codebase sessions
