RTK
CLI proxy that cuts noise from command output before it reaches AI
Visit rtk-ai.app ↗What is RTK?
RTK is a lightweight, open-source proxy layer that filters and compresses CLI output before it reaches your AI agent's context window. Built in Rust as a single binary with zero dependencies, it supports 125+ commands and reduces token consumption by an average of 56%, with up to 90% reduction on verbose outputs. The tool installs as a thin hook that requires no configuration and adds less than 20ms overhead.
Designed for developers using AI coding tools like Claude Code, Copilot, and Cursor, RTK helps agents reason more effectively by removing noise from build logs, test output, git commands, and file listings. The project describes itself as built with Claude Code and Copilot, and is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license with opt-in telemetry.
