tokf-run

name	tokf-run
description	Compress verbose CLI output with tokf before returning results. Activates for git, cargo, npm, docker, go, gradle, kubectl, and other supported commands.

tokf — Token Output Filter

tokf compresses verbose command output so you receive concise, structured results instead of raw terminal dumps. It saves context tokens and makes output easier to reason about.

Rule

When running a supported command, prefix it with tokf run:

tokf run <command>

Examples:

tokf run git status
tokf run cargo test
tokf run npm test
tokf run docker ps

Supported commands

The following commands have built-in filters. Prefix these with tokf run:

• git status, git diff, git log, git push, git add, git commit, git show
• cargo build, cargo test, cargo check, cargo clippy, cargo install
• npm test, npm run, yarn test, pnpm test
• docker build, docker compose, docker ps, docker images
• go build, go vet
• gradle build, gradle test, gradle dependencies
• gh pr view, gh pr list, gh pr checks, gh issue view, gh issue list
• kubectl get pods
• next build
• pnpm add, pnpm install
• prisma generate
• pytest
• tsc
• ls

Commands not in this list pass through unchanged when prefixed with tokf run.

Important rules

1. Never double-prefix. If a command already starts with tokf run, do not add it again.
2. Arguments pass through. Include all flags and arguments after the base command: tokf run cargo test --release -- my_test.
3. Fail-safe. If tokf is not installed or not on PATH, run the command without the prefix.
4. Environment variables. Place env vars before tokf run: RUST_LOG=debug tokf run cargo test.
5. Pipes. Do not add redundant filtering pipes (e.g. | grep, | tail, | head) after tokf run commands — tokf already compresses the output. Piping tokf's output for other purposes (e.g. tokf run cargo test | wc -l) is fine.
