A table of what breaks the cache, such as switching model or tools, and what is free, such as editing files
How long the cache lasts and what a cache hit saves compared with normal input on each model
A worked example of the same session run cold and warm
Habits for the start of a session and while you work, including when to use /clear and /compact
