Florian BRUNIAUX 6e55f8984c docs: address Adrien's review — structure, missing content, agents
Structure:
- Move docs/README.md → .github/docs-pipeline-contract.md (interface
  contract is not user-facing content)
- Rewrite docs/guide/index.md as a proper landing page with RTK intro,
  flow diagram, and navigation (replaces empty nav stub)
- Move configuration.md → getting-started/configuration.md (sidebar order 4,
  after supported-agents per Adrien's suggestion)

Missing content:
- Add docs/guide/analytics/discover.md: rtk discover (missed savings analysis)
  and rtk session (adoption tracking across sessions)
- Add uninstall instructions to installation.md (rtk init -g --uninstall,
  cargo uninstall, brew uninstall)
- Add global flags section to what-rtk-covers.md (-u/--ultra-compact,
  -v/--verbose)
- Add rtk smart command to what-rtk-covers.md Files section

Agents:
- Update supported-agents.md: 10 agents (was 9)
- Add OpenClaw (TypeScript plugin, before_tool_call)
- Add Mistral Vibe (planned, issue #800)
- Fix GitHub Copilot: VS Code = transparent rewrite via PreToolUse,
  Copilot CLI = deny-with-suggestion (upstream limitation)

RTK Documentation RTK (Rust Token Killer) — reduce LLM token consumption by 60-90% on common dev commands, with zero workflow changes

RTK — Rust Token Killer

RTK is a CLI proxy that sits between your AI assistant and your development tools. It filters command output before it reaches the LLM, keeping only what matters and discarding boilerplate, progress bars, and noise.

Result: 60-90% fewer tokens consumed per command, without changing how you work. You run git status as usual — RTK's hook intercepts it, filters the output, and the LLM sees a compact 3-line summary instead of 40 lines.

How it works

Your AI assistant runs:  git status
                              ↓
              Hook intercepts (PreToolUse)
                              ↓
              rtk git status  (transparent rewrite)
                              ↓
     Raw output: 40 lines     →     Filtered: 3 lines
     ~800 tokens              →     ~60 tokens  (92% saved)
                              ↓
              LLM sees the compact output

Zero config changes to your workflow. The hook handles everything automatically.
