Claude Code Cache Efficiency Analyzer

Based on https://habr.com/ru/companies/bitrix/articles/1008320/

CLI tool that reads Claude Code JSONL session files, computes prompt cache efficiency metrics using the Bitrix24/Habr formula, and displays results as rich terminal tables.

Formula

C = S × [(1−h) × P_miss + h × P_hit] + D × P_miss + O × P_out

Where: S = cacheable tokens, h = hit rate, D = dynamic input tokens, O = output tokens.

Install & Run

Via uvx (no install needed)

pip install claude-cache-analyzer
claude-cache

From source

git clone https://github.com/AgiMateIo/claude-cache-analyzer.git
