What it does

Continue Fix Volatile Msg is an agent skill from OnlyTerp/prompt-cache-skills. Ladder-aware Continue Anthropic caching — verify the rolling ladder on the wire, then enable it by default and add TTL coverage.

Its SKILL.md is about 820 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Caching. It works with OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: Drop-in prompt-caching fixes for the LLM agent harness you use. Point your AI coding agent at this repo and it ships the patches.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Caching

Example prompts

  • “/continue-fix-volatile-msg”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. verify the ladder on the wire (before any change)
  2. default-on (the actual money fix)
  3. Bedrock path: verify the cachePoint translation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5b58ae2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Continue Fix Volatile Msg loads about 822 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 345 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~822

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 345 words (~822 tokens).

“packages/openai-adapters/src/apis/AnthropicUtils.ts (helper) and its callers in the Anthropic adapter; core/llm/llms/Bedrock.ts (_addCachingToLastTwoUserMessages, cachePoint shape) for the Bedrock path.”
