### Design Principles
1. **Single Responsibility ** : Each module handles one command type
2. **Minimal Overhead ** : ~5-15ms proxy overhead per command
3. **Exit Code Preservation ** : CI/CD reliability through proper exit code propagation
4. **Fail-Safe ** : If filtering fails, fall back to original output
5. **Transparent ** : Users can always see raw output with `-v` flags

### Hook Architecture (v0.9.5+)

Two hook strategies:
```
Auto-Rewrite (default) Suggest (non-intrusive)
───────────────────── ────────────────────────
Hook intercepts command Hook emits systemMessage hint
Rewrites before execution Claude decides autonomously
100% adoption ~70-85% adoption
Zero context overhead Minimal context overhead
Best for: production Best for: learning / auditing

## Command Lifecycle
### Six-Phase Execution Flow
```
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Command Execution Lifecycle │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Phase 1: PARSE
──────────────
$ rtk git log --oneline -5 -v
Clap Parser extracts:
• Command: Commands::Git
• Args: ["log", "--oneline", "-5"]
• Flags: verbose = 1
ultra_compact = false
↓
Phase 2: ROUTE
──────────────
main.rs:match Commands::Git { args, .. }
↓
git::run(args, verbose)
↓
Phase 3: EXECUTE
────────────────
std::process::Command::new("git")
.args(["log", "--oneline", "-5"])
.output()?
Output captured:
• stdout: "abc123 Fix bug\ndef456 Add feature\n..." (500 chars)
• stderr: "" (empty)
• exit_code: 0
↓
Phase 4: FILTER
───────────────
git::format_git_output(stdout, "log", verbose)
Strategy: Stats Extraction
• Count commits: 5
• Extract stats: +142/-89
• Compress: "5 commits, +142/-89"
Filtered: 20 chars (96% reduction)
↓
Phase 5: PRINT
──────────────
if verbose > 0 {
eprintln!("Git log summary:"); // Debug
}
println!("{}", colored_output); // User output
Terminal shows: "5 commits, +142/-89 ✓"
↓
Phase 6: TRACK
──────────────
tracking::track(
original_cmd: "git log --oneline -5",
rtk_cmd: "rtk git log --oneline -5",
input: &raw_output, // 500 chars
output: &filtered // 20 chars
)
↓
SQLite INSERT:
• input_tokens: 125 (500 / 4)
• output_tokens: 5 (20 / 4)
• savings_pct: 96.0
• timestamp: now()
Database: ~/.local/share/rtk/history.db
```
### Verbosity Levels
```
-v (Level 1): Show debug messages
Example: eprintln!("Git log summary:");
-vv (Level 2): Show command being executed
Example: eprintln!("Executing: git log --oneline -5");
-vvv (Level 3): Show raw output before filtering
Example: eprintln!("Raw output:\n{}", stdout);
```

## Python & Go Module Architecture
### Design Rationale
**Added ** : 2026-02-12 (v0.15.1)
**Motivation ** : Complete language ecosystem coverage beyond JS/TS
Python and Go modules follow distinct architectural patterns optimized for their ecosystems:
```
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Python vs Go Module Design │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
PYTHON (Standalone Commands) GO (Sub-Enum Pattern)
────────────────────────── ─────────────────────
Commands::Ruff { args } ────── Commands::Go {
Commands::Pytest { args } Test { args },
Commands::Pip { args } Build { args },
Vet { args }
}
├─ ruff_cmd.rs Commands::GolangciLint { args }
├─ pytest_cmd.rs │
└─ pip_cmd.rs ├─ go_cmd.rs (sub-enum router)
└─ golangci_cmd.rs
Mirrors: lint, prettier Mirrors: git, cargo
```

└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Module Strategy Output Format Savings
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
ruff_cmd.rs JSON/TEXT DUAL • check → JSON 80%+
• format → text
ruff check: JSON API with structured violations
{
"violations": [{"rule": "F401", "file": "x.py", "line": 5}]
}
→ Group by rule, count occurrences
ruff format: Text diff output
"Fixed 12 files"
→ Extract summary, hide unchanged files
pytest_cmd.rs STATE MACHINE Text parser 90%+
State tracking: IDLE → TEST_START → PASSED/FAILED → SUMMARY
Extract:
• Test names (test_auth_login)
• Outcomes (PASSED ✓ / FAILED ✗)
• Failures only (hide passing tests)
pip_cmd.rs JSON PARSING JSON API 70-85%
pip list --format=json:
[{"name": "requests", "version": "2.28.1"}]
→ Compact table format
pip show <pkg>: JSON metadata
{"name": "...", "version": "...", "requires": [...]}
→ Extract key fields only
Auto-detect uv: If uv exists, use uv pip instead
```
#### Shared Infrastructure
**No Package Manager Detection **
Unlike JS/TS modules, Python commands don't auto-detect poetry/pipenv/pip because:
- `pip` is universally available (system Python)
- `uv` detection is explicit (binary presence check)
- Poetry/pipenv aren't execution wrappers (they manage virtualenvs differently)
**Virtual Environment Awareness **
Commands respect active virtualenv via `sys.executable` paths.

go test: NDJSON STREAMING
{"Action": "run", "Package": "pkg1", "Test": "TestAuth"}

golangci-lint run --out-format=json:

#### Sub-Enum Pattern (go_cmd.rs)
2026-03-24 22:14:35 +01:00
Uses `Commands::Go { #[command(subcommand)] command: GoCommand }` in main.rs, with `GoCommand` enum routing to `run_test/run_build/run_vet` . Mirrors git/cargo patterns.

**Why Sub-Enum? **
- `go test/build/vet` are semantically related (core Go toolchain)
- Mirrors existing git/cargo patterns (consistency)
- Natural CLI: `rtk go test` not `rtk gotest`
**Why golangci-lint Standalone? **
- Third-party tool (not core Go toolchain)
- Different output format (JSON API vs text)
- Distinct use case (comprehensive linting vs single-tool diagnostics)

### Ruby Module Architecture
**Added ** : 2026-03-15
**Motivation ** : Ruby on Rails development support (minitest, RSpec, RuboCop, Bundler)
Ruby modules follow the standalone command pattern (like Python) with a shared `ruby_exec()` utility for auto-detecting `bundle exec` .
```
Module Strategy Output Format Savings
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
rake_cmd.rs STATE MACHINE Text parser 85-90%
Minitest output (rake test / rails test)
→ State machine: Header → Running → Failures → Summary
→ All pass: "ok rake test: 8 runs, 0 failures"
→ Failures: summary + numbered failure details
rspec_cmd.rs JSON/TEXT DUAL JSON → 60%+ 60%+
Injects --format json, parses structured results
→ Fallback to text state machine when JSON unavailable
→ Strips Spring, SimpleCov, DEPRECATION, Capybara noise
rubocop_cmd.rs JSON PARSING JSON API 60%+
Injects --format json, groups by cop/severity
→ Skips JSON injection in autocorrect mode (-a, -A)
bundle-install.toml TOML FILTER Text rules 90%+
→ Strips "Using" lines, short-circuits to "ok bundle: complete"
```
**Shared ** : `ruby_exec(tool)` in utils.rs auto-detects `bundle exec` when `Gemfile` exists. Used by rake_cmd, rspec_cmd, rubocop_cmd.

### Format Strategy Decision Tree
```
Output format known?
├─ Tool provides JSON flag?
│ ├─ Structured data needed? → Use JSON API
│ │ Examples: ruff check, pip list, golangci-lint
│ │
│ └─ Simple output? → Use text mode
│ Examples: ruff format, go build errors
│
├─ Streaming events (NDJSON)?
│ └─ Line-by-line JSON parse
│ Examples: go test (interleaved packages)
│
└─ Plain text only?
├─ Stateful parsing needed? → State machine
│ Examples: pytest (test lifecycle tracking)
│
└─ Simple filtering? → Text filters
Examples: go vet, go build
```
### Performance Characteristics
```
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Python/Go Module Overhead Benchmarks │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Command Raw Time rtk Time Overhead Savings
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
ruff check 850ms 862ms +12ms 83%
pytest 1.2s 1.21s +10ms 92%
pip list 450ms 458ms +8ms 78%
go test 2.1s 2.12s +20ms 88%
go build (errors) 950ms 961ms +11ms 80%
golangci-lint 4.5s 4.52s +20ms 85%
Overhead Sources:
• JSON parsing: 5-10ms (serde_json)
• State machine: 3-8ms (regex + state tracking)
• NDJSON streaming: 8-15ms (line-by-line JSON parse)
```
### Module Integration Checklist
When adding Python/Go module support:
- [x] **Output Format ** : JSON API > NDJSON > State Machine > Text Filters
- [x] **Failure Focus ** : Hide passing tests, show failures only
- [x] **Exit Code Preservation ** : Propagate tool exit codes for CI/CD
- [x] **Virtual Env Awareness ** : Python modules respect active virtualenv
- [x] **Error Grouping ** : Group by rule/file for linters (ruff, golangci-lint)
- [x] **Streaming Support ** : Handle interleaved NDJSON events (go test)
- [x] **Verbosity Levels ** : Support -v/-vv/-vvv for debug output
- [x] **Token Tracking ** : Integrate with tracking::track()
- [x] **Unit Tests ** : Test parsing logic with representative outputs

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Package Manager Detection Flow │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Detection Order:
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 1. Check: pnpm-lock.yaml exists? │
│ → Yes: pnpm exec -- <tool> │
│ │
│ 2. Check: yarn.lock exists? │
│ → Yes: yarn exec -- <tool> │
│ │
│ 3. Fallback: Use npx │
│ → npx --no-install -- <tool> │
└─────────────────────────────────────┘
Example (lint_cmd.rs:50-77):
let is_pnpm = Path::new("pnpm-lock.yaml").exists();
let is_yarn = Path::new("yarn.lock").exists();
let mut cmd = if is_pnpm {
Command::new("pnpm").arg("exec").arg("--").arg("eslint")
} else if is_yarn {
Command::new("yarn").arg("exec").arg("--").arg("eslint")
} else {
Command::new("npx").arg("--no-install").arg("--").arg("eslint")
};
Affects: lint, tsc, next, prettier, playwright, prisma, vitest, pnpm
```
**Why This Matters ** :
- **CWD Preservation**: pnpm/yarn exec preserve working directory correctly
- **Monorepo Support**: Works in nested package.json structures
- **No Global Installs**: Uses project-local dependencies only
- **CI/CD Reliability**: Consistent behavior across environments

Example (git.rs:67-69):
if verbose > 0 {
eprintln!("Git diff summary:");
}
```
### Ultra-Compact Mode
```
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Ultra-Compact Mode (-u) │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
main.rs:51-53
#[arg(short = 'u', long, global = true)]
ultra_compact: bool,
Features:
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ • ASCII icons instead of words (✓ ✗ → ⚠) │
│ • Inline formatting (single-line summaries) │
│ • Maximum compression for LLM contexts │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Example (gh_cmd.rs:521):
if ultra_compact {
println!("✓ PR #{} merged", number);
} else {
println!("Pull request #{} successfully merged", number);
}
```

## Error Handling
### anyhow::Result<()> Propagation Chain
```
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Error Handling Architecture │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Propagation Chain:
main() → Result<()>
↓
match cli.command {
Commands::Git { args, .. } => git::run(&args, verbose)?,
...
}
↓ .context("Git command failed")
git::run(args: &[String], verbose: u8) → Result<()>
↓ .context("Failed to execute git")
git::execute_git_command() → Result<String>
↓ .context("Git process error")
Command::new("git").output()?
↓ Error occurs
anyhow::Error
↓ Bubble up through ?
main.rs error display
↓
eprintln!("Error: {:#}", err)
↓
std::process::exit(1)
```
### Exit Code Preservation (Critical for CI/CD)
```
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Exit Code Handling Strategy │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Standard Pattern (git.rs:45-48, PR #5):
let output = Command::new("git").args(args).output()?;
if !output.status.success() {
let stderr = String::from_utf8_lossy(&output.stderr);
eprintln!("{}", stderr);
std::process::exit(output.status.code().unwrap_or(1));
}
Exit Codes:
┌─────────┬──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Code │ Meaning │
├─────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 0 │ Success │
│ 1 │ rtk internal error (parsing, filtering, etc.) │
│ N │ Preserved exit code from underlying tool │
│ │ (e.g., git returns 128, lint returns 1) │
└─────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Why This Matters:
• CI/CD pipelines rely on exit codes to determine build success/failure
• Pre-commit hooks need accurate failure signals
• Git workflows require proper exit code propagation (PR #5 fix)
Modules with Exit Code Preservation:
• git.rs (all git commands)
• lint_cmd.rs (linter failures)
• tsc_cmd.rs (TypeScript errors)
• vitest_cmd.rs (test failures)
• playwright_cmd.rs (E2E test failures)
```

## Build Optimizations
### Release Profile (Cargo.toml)
``` toml
[ profile . release ]
opt-level = 3 # Maximum optimization
lto = true # Link-time optimization
codegen-units = 1 # Single codegen unit for better optimization
strip = true # Remove debug symbols
panic = "abort" # Smaller binary size
```
### Performance Characteristics
```
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Performance Metrics │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Binary:
• Size: ~4.1 MB (stripped release build)
• Startup: ~5-10ms (cold start)
• Memory: ~2-5 MB (typical usage)
Runtime Overhead (estimated):
┌──────────────────────┬──────────────┬──────────────┐
│ Operation │ rtk Overhead │ Total Time │
├──────────────────────┼──────────────┼──────────────┤
│ rtk git status │ +8ms │ 58ms │
│ rtk grep "pattern" │ +12ms │ 145ms │
│ rtk read file.rs │ +5ms │ 15ms │
│ rtk lint │ +15ms │ 2.5s │
└──────────────────────┴──────────────┴──────────────┘
Note: Overhead measurements are estimates. Actual performance varies
by system, command complexity, and output size.
Overhead Sources:
• Clap parsing: ~2-3ms
• Command execution: ~1-2ms
• Filtering/compression: ~2-8ms (varies by strategy)
• SQLite tracking: ~1-3ms

## Architecture Decision Records
### Why Rust?
- **Performance**: ~5-15ms overhead per command (negligible for user experience)
- **Safety**: No runtime errors from null pointers, data races, etc.
- **Single Binary**: No runtime dependencies (distribute one executable)
- **Cross-Platform**: Works on macOS, Linux, Windows without modification
### Why SQLite for Tracking?
- **Zero Config**: No server setup, works out-of-the-box
- **Lightweight**: ~100KB database for 90 days of history
- **Reliable**: ACID compliance for data integrity
- **Queryable**: Rich analytics via SQL (gain report)
### Why anyhow for Error Handling?
- **Context**: `.context()` adds meaningful error messages throughout call chain
- **Ergonomic**: `?` operator for concise error propagation
- **User-Friendly**: Error display shows full context chain
### Why Clap for CLI Parsing?
- **Derive Macros**: Less boilerplate (declarative CLI definition)
- **Auto-Generated Help**: `--help` generated automatically
- **Type Safety**: Parse arguments directly into typed structs
- **Global Flags**: `-v` and `-u` work across all commands
