rtk is a command-line proxy that filters and compresses output from development commands before it reaches an LLM's context. It is used with coding agents to reduce the tokens consumed by commands such as Git operations. The catalogue includes skills, commands, agents, and instructions for using rtk in agent workflows.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00010 | $0.01138 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00455 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00228 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00114 |
Grade C, and why
clean-worktrees scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Recursive force deletehighDestructive command
rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

Clean Worktrees (Automatic)
Automatically remove all worktrees for branches merged into master. No interaction required.
Difference with /clean-worktree:
/clean-worktree: Interactive, asks confirmation per branch/clean-worktrees: Automatic, removes all merged branches at once
Usage
/clean-worktrees # Remove all merged worktrees
/clean-worktrees --dry-run # Preview what would be deleted
Implementation
Execute this script:
#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
DRY_RUN=false
if [[ "${ARGUMENTS:-}" == *"--dry-run"* ]]; then
DRY_RUN=true

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

clean-worktrees is a command published in the GitHub repository rtk-ai/rtk (84,791 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 1,138 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
Other commands, from other repositories
update-infos-release
Update Claude Code releases tracking (guide + landing + version bump).
release
Release guide version (CHANGELOG + VERSION + README + landing sync + commit + push).
worktree-status
Show status of all active worktrees.
worktree
Create a git worktree for isolated feature/fix work.
watch-ci
Spawn a background Haiku-backed subagent to watch CI for the current branch (or specified target). Provider-agnostic — the subagent inspects project signals to identify the CI system (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, etc.) and picks the right CLI. Returns immediately; reports back when CI reaches a terminal state.
undo-commit
Soft-undo the last commit. Restores its changes as staged, leaves working tree intact. Refuses if HEAD is already pushed to a tracked remote.
