rtk-token-optimizer

name	rtk-token-optimizer
description	RTK CLI proxy that reduces LLM token consumption by 60-90% on common dev commands. Use when running git, cargo, npm, pytest, or any CLI tool inside an AI coding session. Rewrites verbose command outputs to compact summaries before they reach the context window. Supports Antigravity (Gemini), Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, and 10+ other agents. Source: https://github.com/rtk-ai/rtk — offline-capable single Rust binary, zero deps.

RTK Token Optimizer Skill

RTK is a CLI proxy that intercepts shell commands and returns compact, LLM-optimized summaries instead of raw verbose output — saving 60-90% of token consumption.

What RTK Does

RTK wraps common dev commands and returns only what matters to the LLM:

Command	Without RTK	With RTK
git log --oneline -50	50 lines of SHAs + messages	10-line summary
cargo test	200+ lines of test output	PASSED: 47/47 or compact failure
npm install	300+ lines of progress	installed 142 packages
pytest -v	Full verbose output	Summary table

Installation (Antigravity / Gemini)

RTK supports Google Antigravity via .agents/rules/antigravity-rtk-rules.md:

# Install RTK binary (Windows - via cargo)
cargo install rtk

# Or download pre-built binary
# https://github.com/rtk-ai/rtk/releases

# Initialize for Antigravity
rtk init --agent antigravity

This creates .agents/rules/antigravity-rtk-rules.md in your project, which instructs Antigravity to route shell commands through rtk.

Initialization for All Supported Agents

rtk init -g                    # Claude Code (global)
rtk init -g --gemini           # Gemini CLI (global)
rtk init -g --copilot          # GitHub Copilot (global)
rtk init -g --agent cursor     # Cursor (global)
rtk init -g --codex            # Codex (global)
rtk init --agent antigravity   # Antigravity (project-scoped)
rtk init --agent kilocode      # Kilo Code (project-scoped)
rtk init --agent cline         # Cline / Roo Code (project-scoped)

RTK Usage in Sessions

# RTK transparently intercepts these:
rtk git log --oneline -20
rtk cargo test
rtk npm install
rtk pytest tests/

# Analytics
rtk gain          # Token savings summary for current session
rtk gain --30d    # 30-day savings report

# Discovery
rtk discover      # Show which commands RTK optimizes in your project
rtk verify        # Verify hook is active for current agent

# Telemetry (opt-in only)
rtk telemetry status
rtk telemetry enable   # explicit opt-in
rtk telemetry disable

Config (~/.config/rtk/config.toml)

[hooks]
exclude_commands = ["curl", "playwright"]  # skip rewrite for these

[tee]
enabled = true          # save raw output on failure
mode = "failures"       # "failures" | "always" | "never"

Integration with SAP Router Skill

In the SAP Router context, RTK is especially useful for:

• git log when reviewing transport histories
• abaplint output compression (ABAP linting runs)
• pytest for SAP skill test runner output (driver.py)
• Healthcheck output: python scripts/healthcheck.py — RTK can compress the 35-MCP probe output

SAP Router + RTK pattern:

# Instead of:
python scripts/healthcheck.py  # → verbose 35-MCP output

# Via RTK:
rtk python scripts/healthcheck.py  # → compact summary

Token Saving Estimates

Tool	Avg Savings
git log/status/diff	65-85%
cargo/rust	70-90%
npm/yarn/pnpm	60-75%
pytest/unittest	70-85%
make/gradle	55-70%

Uninstall

rtk init -g --uninstall    # Remove hooks
cargo uninstall rtk
