Unique: Uses a simple file-based cache in ~/.cache/ai-kernel-explorer/ rather than in-memory caching or external cache services (like Redis), making it zero-dependency and portable across machines. The cache key is derived from the file path, enabling deterministic cache hits without requiring a database or hash table.

vs others: More cost-effective than stateless API-only approaches (like raw OpenAI API calls) because it eliminates redundant requests for frequently explored files. Simpler to implement and maintain than distributed caching solutions (like Redis) for solo developers, though it lacks team collaboration benefits.
