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

## Active Threads

- Open question: [thing being investigated]
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.
