Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Patrick, the maker of RTK. Early 2026, I was burning through my Claude Code quota in hours. Not complex prompts — just normal coding. I investigated and found that up to 89% of tokens my AI agent consumed were noise: progress bars, passing tests, verbose formatting. So I built RTK — a single Rust binary that sits between your terminal and your AI agent. It does 2 things: → Compresses CLI output (cargo test: 155 lines → 3 lines) → Cleans context so the AI reasons on signal, not noise My real numbers after 3 weeks: - 7,000+ commands processed - 29M tokens in → 4.8M out - 83.7% average savings Install in seconds: macOS: brew install rtk-ai/tap/rtk Linux: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.co... | sh Then check your savings: rtk gain What AI coding tool do you use? I'd love to hear what commands waste the most tokens for you 👇 🔗 https://github.com/rtk-ai/rtk
