Description

Instead of adding keywords to the beginning and ending of a keyword, cache by listener instead.

How this could work:

***keyword***
I Am Cached
    [Tags]    cached:3600
    # Keyword implementation

The listener would cache the output of this keyword using the input arguments as key. The value would expire after 3600 seconds.

Pro

Very easy to implement

Con

Hard to figure out what's happening when you're not familiar with caching.

Research direction

The issue describes a Robot Framework listener that caches keyword output using input arguments as the key and a cached:3600 tag for expiry. Start by locating the listener and keyword-tag handling in the repository, then determine how cached output should behave across tests and test runs. Done means the proposed listener-based caching behavior is implemented and its expiry and argument-key semantics are covered by tests.
