What it does

Rtk Skill is an agent skill from sopaco/deepwiki-rs. Use when running shell commands that produce verbose output (git, test, build, lint, package managers, docker). Prefix with rtk to save 60-90% tokens. Terrain projects use explicit rtk prefix (no global hook).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Linting and formatting, Containers and Git workflow. It works with Git, Docker, Bash and PowerShell. The repository describes itself as: Turn code into clarity. Generate accurate technical docs and AI-ready context in minutes—perfectly structured for human teams and intelligent agents. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 27dbd3e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- bunx
- git
- npx
- jq
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
- github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Rtk Skill loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 483 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

RTK Skill (Rust Token Killer)

RTK is a CLI proxy that filters and compresses command output before it reaches the LLM (typically 60–90% token savings).

Resolve the RTK command (read first)

Use conventional paths only — never machine-specific absolute paths like /Users/... or C:\Users\....

On Windows, tools deploy to %USERPROFILE%\.terrain\bin\ (also written as ~/.terrain/bin/ in Git Bash / PowerShell 7+). Binaries use .exe extensions; PATHEXT resolves rtk → rtk.exe.

Priority	Command prefix	When
1	`~/.terrain/bin/rtk`	Terrain env integration or desktop app (see existence check below)
2	`bunx @terrain-ai/rtk`	No Terrain install; needs network once
3	`npx @terrain-ai/rtk`	Same as bunx if Bun unavailable

Optional manifest (local, gitignored): .terrain/env/agent-tools.json — same ~/.terrain/bin/… conventions.

Existence check (cross-platform):

Shell	Check
bash / zsh / Git Bash	`[ -x ~/.terrain/bin/rtk ] \|\| [ -x ~/.terrain/bin/rtk.exe ]`
PowerShell	`Test-Path "$HOME\.terrain\bin\rtk.exe"`
cmd	`if exist "%USERPROFILE%\.terrain\bin\rtk.exe"`

Shell rules:

Invoke as ~/.terrain/bin/rtk <cmd> — tilde expands at word start in bash/zsh/Git Bash/PowerShell 7+.
Do not export RTK="$(jq -r .rtk …)" then "$RTK" — quoted variables do not expand ~.
Do not assume bare rtk is on PATH.

Example (pick one prefix per session after the existence check):

bash

# bash / Git Bash
if [ -x ~/.terrain/bin/rtk ] || [ -x ~/.terrain/bin/rtk.exe ]; then
  PREFIX=~/.terrain/bin/rtk
else
  PREFIX="bunx @terrain-ai/rtk"
fi
$PREFIX git status

powershell

# PowerShell
$PREFIX = if (Test-Path "$HOME\.terrain\bin\rtk.exe") { "$HOME\.terrain\bin\rtk.exe" } else { "bunx @terrain-ai/rtk" }
& $PREFIX git status

Verify:

bash

~/.terrain/bin/rtk gain || bunx @terrain-ai/rtk gain

We do not run rtk init / global hooks.

Golden rule

For any shell command that prints more than a few lines, run it as <rtk-prefix> <cmd> instead of bare <cmd>.

Applies to: git, tests, builds, linters, package managers, docker/kubectl, ls/grep/find, gh, etc.

In examples below, <rtk> means your resolved prefix (~/.terrain/bin/rtk or bunx @terrain-ai/rtk).

Critical: built-in Read / Grep / Glob

Claude Code, Cursor, and similar agents often have native Read/Grep tools that bypass Bash hooks.

Those tools do not auto-rewrite to RTK. For token-efficient file/search workflows, use:

Instead of native tool	Use
Read large source file	`<rtk> read path/to/file.rs`
Read signatures only	`<rtk> read path/to/file.rs -l aggressive`
Grep / search repo	`<rtk> grep "pattern" .` or `<rtk> rg "pattern"`
Find files	`<rtk> find "*.ts" .`
List directory	`<rtk> ls .`

Exception: .terrain/agent/context.md and short knowledge/*.md — read directly (already dense).

Command reference (by category)

Git (high savings)

bash

<rtk> git log -n 20 --oneline
<rtk> git diff
<rtk> git diff --staged
<rtk> add -A && <rtk> git commit -m "msg"
<rtk> git push
<rtk> git pull

Tests (failures-focused, ~90% savings)

bash

<rtk> cargo test
<rtk> test cargo test
<rtk> bun test
<rtk> vitest
<rtk> jest
<rtk> pytest
<rtk> go test

Build & lint

bash

<rtk> cargo build
<rtk> cargo clippy
<rtk> tsc
<rtk> eslint .
<rtk> ruff check
<rtk> next build

Package managers

bash

<rtk> pnpm list
<rtk> bun install
<rtk> pip list

Files & search

bash

<rtk> ls src/
<rtk> read src/lib/foo.rs
<rtk> read src/lib/foo.rs -l aggressive
<rtk> grep "fn handle_" .
<rtk> find "*.svelte" .
<rtk> diff file1 file2

Containers / cloud (when used)

bash

<rtk> docker ps
<rtk> docker logs <container>
<rtk> kubectl get pods
<rtk> gh pr list

Errors only

bash

<rtk> err npm run build

Global flags

bash

<rtk> -u git status
<rtk> -v cargo test

When command fails

RTK may collapse output but preserves exit codes. On failure, look for a tee path in output:

FAILED: 2/15 tests
[full output: ~/.local/share/rtk/tee/....log]

Read that log if you need the full unfiltered output — do not blindly re-run the same verbose command.

Bypass RTK (rare)

bash

RTK_DISABLED=1 git status

When NOT to use RTK

Use RTK	Use other Terrain skills instead
Shell command output	Architecture → `terrain-knowledge-skill` / `context.md`
git test build lint	Symbol relations → `codegraph-skill`
`<rtk> read` for code slices	Structured repomix index → `repomix-context-skill`

Workflow order: Terrain knowledge → codegraph → repomix slices → rtk for remaining shell work.

Analytics (optional)

bash

<rtk> gain
<rtk> gain --history
<rtk> discover

Do not

Run rtk init or rtk init -g — Terrain owns agent guidance via AGENTS.md
Assume hooks rewrite commands — you must type the rtk prefix
Re-run identical verbose commands after RTK already summarized them
Use wrong rtk package (verify with <rtk> gain)

Complements

terrain-knowledge-skill — what project knowledge to read first
codegraph-skill — AST/call-graph queries
repomix-context-skill — grep repomix pack for source sections
