# Hot Cache
|
|
|
|
A ~500-word summary of the most recent context in the wiki vault. Stored in `wiki/hot.md`. Updated at the end of every session and after every significant ingest or query.
|
|
|
|
The hot cache exists to answer one question: "where did we leave off?" A new session reads `hot.md` first. If the answer is there, it skips crawling the rest of the wiki.

## What It Stores

|
|
- Key recent facts and takeaways
|
|
- Pages recently created or updated
|
|
- Active threads and open questions
|
|
- What the user is currently focused on

## Rules
|
|
|
|
- Keep it under 500 words. It is a cache, not a journal.
|
|
- Overwrite it completely each time. Not append-only.
|
|
- One file. Not split by date.
|
|
- Updated after every ingest, significant query, and at the end of each session.
|
|

## Why It Matters
|
|
|
|
Without the hot cache, every session starts cold: read the index (1000 tokens), read several domain sub-indexes, read several individual pages. With the hot cache, the first 500 tokens often have everything needed.
|
|
|
|
In practice, adding `hot.md` to an executive assistant vault dramatically reduces the token cost of session startup compared to crawling multiple wiki pages.
|
|
|
|
The hot cache is especially valuable in cross-project setups: another Claude Code project can point at this vault and read `hot.md` first to get recent context at minimal token cost.

## Connections
|
|
|
|
The hot cache is part of the [[LLM Wiki Pattern]] token discipline strategy. See [[index]] for how the broader navigation works.
