patrick szymkowiak d921cc4fa0 feat: add Cline/Roo Code support via rtk init --agent cline (#701) (#702)
Install RTK rules in .clinerules (project-scoped) so Cline
prefixes shell commands with rtk for token savings.

Same rules-based approach as Windsurf and Codex.

RTK - Rust Token Killer (Cline)

Usage: Token-optimized CLI proxy for shell commands.

Rule

Always prefix shell commands with rtk to minimize token consumption.

Examples:

rtk git status
rtk cargo test
rtk ls src/
rtk grep "pattern" src/
rtk find "*.rs" .
rtk docker ps
rtk gh pr list

Meta Commands

rtk gain              # Show token savings
rtk gain --history    # Command history with savings
rtk discover          # Find missed RTK opportunities
rtk proxy <cmd>       # Run raw (no filtering, for debugging)

Why

RTK filters and compresses command output before it reaches the LLM context, saving 60-90% tokens on common operations. Always use rtk <cmd> instead of raw commands.
