feat: add OpenClacky Prompt Cache Optimizer to LLM Optimization Tools

[streetlightstartupnotes]

Summary

Adds a new entry under 🎯 LLM Optimization Tools that demonstrates how OpenClacky's Prompt Cache architecture achieves a 93.8% cache hit rate vs naive stateless agents (Claude Code / OpenAI Codex).

What's included

advanced_llm_apps/llm_optimization_tools/openclacky_prompt_cache/
├── cache_benchmark.py   # CLI benchmark — no API key needed, pure tiktoken
├── app.py               # Streamlit interactive demo with live pricing sliders
├── requirements.txt
└── README.md

Key results (10-turn coding session, Claude Sonnet 3.7 pricing)

Agent	Input tokens	Cost / session	vs Claude Code
Claude Code	5,088	$0.0181	1.0× (baseline)
OpenAI Codex	5,088	$0.0181	1.0×
OpenClacky	971	$0.0081	0.45×

Why the cache hit rate is so high

1. Frozen system prompt — 16-tool schema never changes → always hits Anthropic's cache
2. Dual cache markers — both system block and tool definitions are cache-pinned
3. Insert-then-Compress — older history summarized rather than dropped
4. Stable 16-tool schema — no schema churn between sessions

How to run

pip install -r requirements.txt

# CLI benchmark (no API key needed)
python cache_benchmark.py

# Interactive Streamlit demo
streamlit run app.py

Thanks for the effort here, but this isn't a fit for the repo so I'm going to pass.

The core issue is that there's no LLM in this submission. cache_benchmark.py and app.py are token-counting simulations: they run tiktoken over a hardcoded conversation and apply fixed cost assumptions, with no model inference anywhere (the README itself notes "no API key required"). awesome-llm-apps is for runnable apps that actually use an LLM, not cost calculators.

Beyond that, the submission is built around promoting OpenClacky. The "93.8% cache hit rate" figure is presented as a measured result but it's an unverifiable number from your own product, and it's repeated across the README, the Streamlit footer, and the CLI output alongside links back to the product. That's product promotion rather than a self-contained tutorial.

Closing this one. Appreciate the interest in the project.
