rtk-ai/rtk

CLI proxy that reduces LLM token consumption by 60-90% on common dev commands. Single Rust binary, zero dependencies

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.
