RTK (Rust Token Killer): The GitHub Tool That Can Cut AI Coding Token Waste by 60%+

Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Cline, OpenCode and similar tools can inspect a project, search source code, execute tests, check Git history, analyze errors and even implement complete features.

But there is a problem many developers notice only after using agents seriously:

the AI is consuming tokens even when most of the information it receives is useless.

A coding agent may execute:

git status

and receive dozens of lines.

It may run:

npm test

and receive thousands of lines.

Then:

grep
tree
cat
git diff
docker ps
pytest
cargo test

Each command may dump a large amount of text into the LLM’s context window.

You are effectively paying the model to read terminal noise.

This is exactly the problem that RTK — Rust Token Killer is trying to solve.
