CLI proxy that filters and compresses shell command output before it reaches an LLM's context, cutting token use.
Why you might care
Aimed at developers running AI coding agents who want lower token costs on common dev commands like git, tests, and builds. Ships as a single Rust binary with 100+ supported commands and hooks that work with agents without explicit rtk calls. Two editions exist: an Apache-2.0 version and one with a BUSL-licensed compression engine.
