# RTK Token Optimization
|
|
|
|
**Context**: Using RTK (Rust Token Killer) to minimize token consumption from command outputs.
|
|
|
|
## Commands to Optimize
|
|
|
|
Always use RTK wrapper for these high-verbosity commands:
|
|
|
|
### Git Operations (92.3% avg reduction)
|
|
- `rtk git log` instead of `git log`
|
|
- `rtk git status` instead of `git status`
|
|
- `rtk git diff` instead of `git diff`
|
|
|
|
### File Operations (69.4% avg reduction)
|
|
- `rtk find "*.md" .` instead of `find . -name "*.md"`
|
|
- `rtk read <file>` instead of `cat <file>` (for large files >10K lines)
|
|
|
|
### DO NOT use RTK for:
|
|
- `ls` (worse output: -274% token increase)
|
|
- `grep` (buggy as of v0.2.0)
|
|
|
|
## Token Savings Target
|
|
|
|
**Baseline**: ~150K tokens per 30-min session
|
|
**With RTK**: ~45K tokens (70% reduction)
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
RTK is installed system-wide: `/usr/local/bin/rtk`
|
|
|
|
## Verification
|
|
|
|
Check RTK availability:
|
|
```bash
|
|
rtk --version # Should show: rtk 0.2.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## When NOT to use RTK
|
|
|
|
- Quick exploration (1-2 commands): overhead not worth it
|
|
- Already using tools like Grep/Read (Claude native tools are optimized)
|
|
- Small outputs (<100 chars): minimal gain
|
|
|
|
## Automation
|
|
|
|
Use RTK automatically via hook (see `.claude/hooks/bash/rtk-wrapper.sh`)
