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.stringify before put and JSON.parse after get.
- TTL behavior —
segment.update() resets TTL to the new value, not adds to existing. segment.delete() returns null (not an error) if the key is missing.
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".
