### 10. ๐Ÿ’พ Cache Management (`cache`)**Getting Started:**

1. Fork the repository

Control the smart caching system for faster operations.2. Create a feature branch

3. Make your changes

```bash4. Add tests

# View cache statistics5. Submit a pull request

lumecode cache info

See [DEVELOPMENT.md](docs/DEVELOPMENT.md) for detailed guidelines *(coming soon)*.

# Clear all cached data

lumecode cache clear---



# View detailed cache entries## ๐Ÿ› Troubleshooting

lumecode cache list

### Common Issues

# Prune old entries (>7 days)

lumecode cache prune --days 7**Issue: "Command not found"**

```bash

# Disable cache for single command# Use full command

lumecode ask query "test" --no-cachepython -m lumecode.cli.main --help

Or create alias

**Cache Benefits:**alias lc="python -m lumecode.cli.main"

  • 50% faster repeated operations```

  • Reduces API calls and costs

  • Automatic invalidation on file changesIssue: "API key not found"

  • Configurable TTL (time-to-live)```bash

Set API key

---export GROQ_API_KEY="your-key-here"

๐ŸŽฏ Common Use Cases# Make permanent

echo 'export GROQ_API_KEY="your-key-here"' >> ~/.zshrc

1. Daily Development Workflow```

# Morning: Review overnight changes```bash

lumecode review git --since "yesterday"# Enable caching

lumecode cache enable

# Write code, then generate tests

lumecode test generate src/new_feature.py# Check cache stats

๐Ÿ“ˆ Performance & Caching

Smart Caching System

Lumecode includes a unique caching system that dramatically improves performance:

How it works:

  1. File content and git context are hashed
  2. Results cached with 1-hour TTL
  3. Cache invalidated when files change
  4. LRU eviction for memory efficiency

Performance Gains:

First run:  Ask query "explain auth" โ†’ 2.5s
Cached run: Ask query "explain auth" โ†’ 0.3s (8x faster!)

๐Ÿ’ก Tips & Tricks

1. Optimize API Usage

# Use quick mode for simple questions
lumecode ask quick "What is this?" --files file.py

# Cache frequently accessed information
lumecode ask query "architecture overview"  # Cached for 1 hour

2. Efficient Batch Processing

# Review only changed files
lumecode batch review $(git diff --name-only main)

# Parallel processing for large codebases
lumecode batch review src/ --parallel --workers 8

3. Context Control

# Exclude git context for faster responses
lumecode ask "simple question" --no-git

# Limit git diff size for large changes
lumecode --max-diff-size 2000 commit generate

4. Configuration Profiles

# Work profile with company-approved models
lumecode config profile create work \
  --provider openrouter \
  --model "anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet"

# Personal profile with free tier
lumecode config profile create personal \
  --provider groq \
  --model "llama-3.1-70b-versatile"

๐Ÿ› Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. "API key not configured"

# Set your API key
export GROQ_API_KEY="your-key-here"
# Or permanently:
lumecode config set-key groq "your-key-here"

2. "Command not found"

# Use full module path
python -m lumecode.cli.main --help

# Or add alias to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:
alias lumecode="python -m lumecode.cli.main"

3. "Rate limit exceeded"

# Switch to different provider
lumecode config set provider openrouter

# Or use caching to reduce API calls
lumecode cache info  # Check if cache is enabled

4. "Git context too large"

# Reduce diff size
lumecode --max-diff-size 2000 review git

# Or disable git context
lumecode review file api.py --no-git

Debug Mode

# Enable verbose logging
export LUMECODE_DEBUG=1
lumecode ask query "test"

# Check configuration
lumecode config show

# Test provider connection
lumecode config test-provider
