# Content-Hash File Cache Pattern

Cache expensive file processing results (PDF parsing, text extraction, image analysis) using SHA-256 content hashes as cache keys. Unlike path-based caching, this approach survives file moves/renames and auto-invalidates when content changes.

## When to Activate

- Building file processing pipelines (PDF, images, text extraction)
- Processing cost is high and same files are processed repeatedly
- Need a `--cache/--no-cache` CLI option
- Want to add caching to existing pure functions without modifying them

## Core Pattern

### 1. Content-Hash Based Cache Key
