About the project

A Go CLI that runs a command once and caches its stdout in a small background daemon for a set TTL. Repeated calls with the same command, directory and tenant key are served from memory, handy for reading secrets without re-approving each time.

Useful for
  • Cache `op read` output for 8 hours to avoid fingerprint approval on every token read
  • Inject cached secrets into env via mise or direnv without repeated prompts
  • Bound the cache with `--until`, e.g. until the end of the working day

2.7 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 9, 2026, 14:14 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

Bars show daily stars; the line is a moving average of the available history. Short histories do not yet establish a reliable usual pace. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-09 (UTC), 13:09–14:10: 27 → 39 stars (+12). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +17 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 1 day old and already has 39 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Hacker News: “Once: Cache CLI Commands” — 36 points, 4 h ago.
  • Recent forks include notable developers: @millette (310 followers).

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
