rtk-ai/rtk
A high-performance CLI proxy that significantly reduces LLM token consumption for common development commands.
Core Features
Reduces LLM token consumption by 60-90%.
Single Rust binary with zero dependencies.
Supports 100+ common development commands (e.g., git, ls, cat, grep).
Transparently rewrites Bash commands for AI tools.
Minimal overhead (<10ms).
Quick Start
brew install rtkDetailed Introduction
rtk is an innovative command-line interface (CLI) proxy designed to optimize the interaction between developers and large language models (LLMs). By filtering and compressing the output of common development commands before it reaches the LLM's context, rtk dramatically reduces token consumption, leading to significant cost savings and faster AI responses. Built as a lightweight, dependency-free Rust binary, it seamlessly integrates with popular AI coding assistants, enhancing their efficiency without altering the developer's workflow.
