rtk: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/diagnose.md

diagnose is a command for Claude Code from rtk-ai/rtk. It costs 14 tokens per session (2,723 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An RTK environment diagnostic command that checks whether RTK is installed, whether its hooks work, which version is present, and how commands are routed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Run it after installing or updating RTK, or when commands and token-saving reports behave unexpectedly.
Why use it?
It helps locate setup problems such as a missing executable, broken hooks, unsupported commands, or missing token-saving reports.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter; reads .claude/ paths; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

This is rtk-ai/rtk's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on rtk itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything rtk configures →

About the project

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.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

diagnose scanned grade A with 0 findings 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Quand utiliser

  • Automatiquement suggéré quand Claude détecte ces patterns d'erreur :

    • rtk: command not found → RTK non installé ou pas dans PATH
    • Hook errors in Claude Code → Hooks mal configurés ou non exécutables
    • Unknown command dans RTK → Version incompatible ou commande non supportée
    • Token savings reports missing → rtk gain not working
    • Command routing errors → Hook integration broken
  • Manuellement après installation, mise à jour RTK, ou si comportement suspect
