RTK Exec Skill

Execute CLI commands through the RTK (Rust Token Killer) proxy to reduce LLM token consumption by 60-90%. RTK is a CLI command proxy — it wraps existing shell commands and compresses their output using smart filtering, grouping, truncation, and deduplication.

Important: RTK is NOT an AI prompt tool. It is a CLI output compressor. You pass it a regular shell command and it returns compressed output.

Options

<command> [args...]   Required. CLI command to proxy through RTK (e.g., "ls .", "git status", "cargo test")
--gain               Show token savings statistics (rtk gain)
--version            Show RTK version (rtk --version)
--init               Initialize RTK for current project (rtk init -g)
--timeout <ms>       Execution timeout (default: 120000, max: 600000)
--working-dir <dir>  Working directory for command execution
