RTK — Rust Token Killer

rtk acts as a command-line proxy designed to optimize interaction between your terminal and various coding helpers. This tool significantly compresses command output, reducing verbosity and presenting a cleaner context for these assistants to process. Key features include: output compression, noise reduction, support for multiple coding helpers like Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Aider, Codex, Windsurf, and Cline, a lean single Rust binary with zero dependencies, and an MIT license ensuring open-source flexibility. It boasts an average savings of 89% across thousands of commands, drastically cutting down on irrelevant information. By filtering out boilerplate and redundant data, rtk helps prevent context window pollution, enabling coding helpers to reason more effectively and maintain longer session threads. This leads to improved accuracy and reduces the likelihood of context overflows and restarts. For pay-per-token setups, it can also lead to substantial cost savings by minimizing the amount of unneeded data processed. This tool is ideal for developers and engineering teams who leverage coding helpers and wish to enhance their efficiency, improve reasoning quality, and control operational costs by providing a focused and streamlined command-line interface.
