How to use
- Copy the installation command and review the source package before installing it in your own agent environment.
- Check the source document for required tools, credentials and supported hosts.
- Describe your input and desired deliverable; review the output against the source material.

- Installation does not include a model subscription, API allowance or permission to access your files.
- Repository stars and installation counts describe activity, not an independent quality or security test.

How It Works
- Get Segment ID — Use MCP (
CatalystbyZoho_List_Cache_Segments) if available; otherwise retrieve it from the console or.catalystrc. - Load `references/cache-basics.md` — for SDK operations, TTL limits (48 hr max), and the
segment.delete()/segment.update()gotchas. - String values only — All cache values are strings. Always
JSON.stringifybeforeputandJSON.parseafterget. - TTL behavior — TTL is in HOURS (max 48), not seconds.
segment.update()called WITHOUT an expiry argument silently resets the key's TTL to the 48-hour maximum (a 1-hour key becomes a 48-hour key).segment.delete()does not remove the key — it setscache_valuetonulland the key persists; a latergetValue()returnsnullwith HTTP 200 and never throws.
Triggers
Use this skill for: "Cache", "cache segment", "cache key", "cache value", "TTL", "in-memory store", segment.get, segment.put, segment.delete, "session data", "temporary data Catalyst", "cache vs Data Store", or "48-hour cache".
