Stateless calls refer to requests where each call carries independent context, while stateful calls refer to requests where each call carries the same system prompt, tool definitions, or lengthy background documents; distinguishing between the two is the core dimension for cache-value-based model selection.

UnverifiedOrdinary Prompt calls are stateless one-question-one-answer interactions where each request is independent, whereas Agent systems maintain contextual memory and track goals.71% similarUnverifiedWhen parallel branches exist in a workflow, multiple nodes may read and write the same global variable simultaneously, requiring lock mechanisms or immutable data structures to avoid race conditions.67% similarUnverifiedThe prompt caching mechanism provided by Anthropic allows repeatedly occurring long system prompts or skill definitions to be cached on the server side, with subsequent calls only needing to transmit the differing portions.67% similarUnverifiedWhen AOP aspects and caching mechanisms coexist, hidden coupling issues related to execution order, proxy objects, and cache key generation are prone to occur; each component performs normally when tested individually, and the issue is only triggered when all three act simultaneously on the same request path65% similarUnverifiedA Prompt is a one-time input guide, while a Skill is a functional unit that can be triggered repeatedly with a clear input-output contract; the two differ fundamentally in reusability and maintainability.65% similar
