rtk

Why we included this project

Anyone who runs an agentic coding tool has watched the context window fill with raw shell output: full git diffs, verbose test logs, and one-line-per-file listings. RTK sits between the agent and the shell, intercepting commands and compressing their output before the LLM reads it. It understands over a hundred common commands, so `git status` collapses into a grouped stat line, `cargo test` reports only failures, and `ls` becomes a tree with file counts. That cuts input tokens per command by 60 to 90 percent, which helps long sessions stay inside context limits and keeps API costs down. It ships as a single Rust binary with no dependencies and hooks into most major coding agents automatically, so it slots into an existing AI-assisted workflow without much setup.
