ag-rtk

Use BEFORE running any shell command to decide rtk_run vs native shell. Default to rtk_run for all commands EXCEPT interactive (dev servers, watch mode, REPLs), file mutations (rm/mv/cp/mkdir/chmod/touch), raw JSON/parser output, or commands the user explicitly wants unfiltered.

Use when you need a quick reference for which RTK commands exist, what they do, expected token savings per command, and which flags affect compression behavior

Use when the user asks about RTK token savings, efficiency reports, missed command opportunities, or wants to optimize their command-output workflow

Use when the user asks what RTK tools are available, how desktop RTK MCP works, which RTK skill applies to their situation, or wants an overview of RTK capabilities

Use when an RTK command fails, returns a tee log path, hides needed detail, or the user asks to inspect raw command output

Use when running non-interactive shell commands that may produce long output - tests, builds, lint, typecheck, git, search, read, package, infra, or network commands

Use when installing, verifying, or troubleshooting RTK MCP setup — binary availability, MCP config, desktop app configuration, skills, rules, or agent instructions
