zot-rtk — zot extension for Rust Token Killer

Automatically routes bash commands through rtk, reducing token consumption by 60–90% for 100+ commands: git, ls, cat, grep, cargo, pytest, docker, kubectl, aws, and many more.

How it works

• Bash interception — when the LLM calls bash with a command, rtk decides via rtk rewrite whether to rewrite the invocation. If yes — the command is automatically replaced with rtk <command>. Unsupported commands pass through unchanged.
• rtk tool — the LLM can explicitly call rtk for compact output.
• /rtk command — manual invocation from chat.
• Auto-install — if rtk is not on the system, the latest release is downloaded from GitHub for the system architecture.
