From c28161dca89481bb1125f196eaa64bf016a13fe8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian BRUNIAUX Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2026 14:01:37 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] docs: enrich RTK evaluation with T3 Stack production testing MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Real-World Testing Results (Méthode Aristote - T3 Stack): - Project: Next.js 15 + tRPC + Prisma + pnpm - Commands tested: 12 (git, pnpm, Vitest, TypeScript, Prisma) - Git workflows validated: 85.6% avg reduction (up from 72.6%) Critical Bug Discovered: - git argument parsing broken (`--oneline`, `--graph` blocked) - Workaround: `rtk git log -- -20` (works) - Impact: CRITICAL - affects ALL git users Modern Stack Gaps Identified: - pnpm support MISSING (80-90% reduction possible, CRITICAL impact) - Vitest support MISSING (90% reduction possible, HIGH impact) - TypeScript support MISSING (70% reduction possible, MEDIUM impact) ROI Analysis: - Current v0.2.0: 40% command coverage, 55% token reduction - Proposed v0.3.0 (pnpm + Vitest): 85% coverage, 80% reduction - Dev effort: 1 week (7 days) New Deliverables: - Benchmark script: examples/scripts/rtk-benchmark.sh (reproductible tests) - Test results: claudedocs/rtk-test-results-aristote.md (53KB, gitignored) - Updated PR proposals: claudedocs/rtk-pr-proposals.md (P0-P2 ranking) - GitHub issues: claudedocs/rtk-github-issue-template.md (ready for upstream) Updated Evaluation: - Score: Still 4/5 (GOOD) but clearer path to 5/5 (CRITICAL) - Blockers: git args bug + pnpm/Vitest gaps - Strength: 85.6% git reduction validated on production codebase Full report: claudedocs/rtk-test-results-aristote.md (23K detailed analysis) --- docs/resource-evaluations/rtk-evaluation.md | 131 ++++++++++++++++++ examples/scripts/rtk-benchmark.sh | 140 ++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 271 insertions(+) create mode 100755 examples/scripts/rtk-benchmark.sh diff --git a/docs/resource-evaluations/rtk-evaluation.md b/docs/resource-evaluations/rtk-evaluation.md index c0711a8..ad99406 100644 --- a/docs/resource-evaluations/rtk-evaluation.md +++ b/docs/resource-evaluations/rtk-evaluation.md @@ -364,6 +364,137 @@ RTK paradox: `ls` becomes **worse** (-274% increase) --- +## Real-World Testing (T3 Stack Production Codebase) + +**Test Environment**: +- **Project**: Méthode Aristote (Next.js + tRPC + Prisma + pnpm) +- **Date**: 2026-01-28 +- **Commands tested**: 12 (git, pnpm, Vitest, TypeScript, Prisma) +- **Full report**: `claudedocs/rtk-test-results-aristote.md` + +### Validated Results + +| Command | Baseline | RTK | Reduction | Verdict | +|---------|----------|-----|-----------|---------| +| `git log -20` | 9.3K | 1.1K | **88.6%** | ✅ Excellent | +| `git diff HEAD~1` | 28.4K | 1.8K | **93.5%** | ✅ Excellent | +| `git status` | 260 | 87 | **66.5%** | ✅ Good | +| `find src/ -name "*.tsx"` | 38.5K | 2.4K | **93.9%** | ✅ Excellent | + +**Average (working): 85.6%** (higher than initial 72.6% due to larger project scale) + +### Critical Bug Discovered + +**Issue**: `rtk git log --oneline` fails with argument parsing error + +```bash +$ rtk git log --oneline -20 +error: unexpected argument '--oneline' found +``` + +**Workaround**: Use `rtk git log -- -20` (works, 88.6% reduction) + +**Impact**: CRITICAL - Blocks common git flags (`--oneline`, `--graph`, `--stat`, etc.) + +**Root Cause**: RTK argument parser doesn't transparently pass flags to git + +**Upstream PR needed**: Fix clap parser to treat everything after `git` as passthrough + +### Modern Stack Gaps (pnpm + Vitest) + +**1. pnpm Support (MISSING - CRITICAL)** + +| Command | Chars | Reduction Possible | +|---------|-------|-------------------| +| `pnpm list --depth=0` | 3,900 | ~80% (→ 700) | +| `pnpm outdated` | 18,600 | ~90% (→ 1,800) | + +**Superfluous content**: Box-drawing chars (┌─┐), "Legend:" headers, full paths + +**Value**: pnpm is #2 package manager, used by T3 Stack, Turborepo, Nx (millions of devs) + +**2.
