PROMPT CACHING
# Cursor Prompt Template Engine - Anthropic Prompt Caching Implementation Guide
## Executive Summary
The `cursor-prompt-template-engine` generates dynamic prompts for Cursor IDE + Claude AI. By implementing strategic caching layers, we can achieve **up to 90% cost reduction** and **85% latency improvement** while maintaining the dynamic nature required for development workflows. This guide provides concrete implementation strategies to maximize cache reads while preserving the engine's flexibility.
