# Openrouter Caching Strategy
## Overview
This skill covers caching strategies from simple LRU caches to semantic similarity caching for intelligent response reuse.
## Prerequisites
- OpenRouter integration
- Caching infrastructure (Redis recommended for production)
## Instructions
Follow these steps to implement this skill:
1. **Verify Prerequisites**: Ensure all prerequisites listed above are met
2. **Review the Implementation**: Study the code examples and patterns below
3. **Adapt to Your Environment**: Modify configuration values for your setup
4. **Test the Integration**: Run the verification steps to confirm functionality
5. **Monitor in Production**: Set up appropriate logging and monitoring
## Output
Successful execution produces:
- Working OpenRouter integration
- Verified API connectivity
- Example responses demonstrating functionality
## Error Handling
See `{baseDir}/references/errors.md` for comprehensive error handling.
## Examples
See `{baseDir}/references/examples.md` for detailed examples.
