3 use cases
-
Cut your coding agent's token use from command output
Install RTK and hook it into your agent so command output is compressed before it hits context.
View prompt
Install rtk-ai/rtk, run `rtk init -g` for Claude Code, do a session with tests and git commands, then report `rtk gain` savings.
-
Set up RTK for Codex, Gemini CLI or Cursor
Use the agent-specific init flags to add RTK hooks to other agents.
View prompt
Configure RTK for <agent> with the matching rtk init flag and confirm the hook is active by running a command and checking `rtk gain`.
-
Use the Apache-only edition for license-sensitive teams
Pick rtk-oss for hooks and filters under Apache-2.0 only.

Quick start with RTK
- Check you have what it needs: macOS, Linux or Windows; A supported coding agent.
- Open rtk-ai/rtk on GitHub and read the README and license.
- Install with
brew install rtk(orwinget install rtk-ai.rtk) - Hook it into Claude Code with
rtk init -g - Check with
rtk --versionandrtk gain - Work as usual and watch the savings
These steps come from our top use case, Cut your coding agent's token use from command output, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
