How It Works

1. Get Segment ID — Use MCP (CatalystbyZoho_List_Cache_Segments) if available; otherwise retrieve it from the console or .catalystrc.
2. Load `references/cache-basics.md` — for SDK operations, TTL limits (48 hr max), and the segment.delete() / segment.update() gotchas.
3. String values only — All cache values are strings. Always JSON.stringify before put and JSON.parse after get.
4. TTL behavior — TTL is in HOURS (max 48), not seconds. segment.update() called WITHOUT an expiry argument silently resets the key's TTL to the 48-hour maximum (a 1-hour key becomes a 48-hour key). segment.delete() does not remove the key — it sets cache_value to null and the key persists; a later getValue() returns null with HTTP 200 and never throws.

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".
