# RTK Token Savings Audit Guide
|
||||
|
||||
Complete guide to analyzing your rtk token savings with temporal breakdowns and data exports.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The `rtk gain` command provides comprehensive analytics for tracking your token savings across time periods.
|
||||
|
||||
**Database Location**: `~/.local/share/rtk/history.db`
|
||||
**Retention Policy**: 90 days
|
||||
**Scope**: Global across all projects, worktrees, and Claude sessions
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Reference
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Default summary view
|
||||
rtk gain
|
||||
|
||||
# Temporal breakdowns
|
||||
rtk gain --daily # All days since tracking started
|
||||
rtk gain --weekly # Aggregated by week
|
||||
rtk gain --monthly # Aggregated by month
|
||||
rtk gain --all # Show all breakdowns at once
|
||||
|
||||
# Export formats
|
||||
rtk gain --all --format json > savings.json
|
||||
rtk gain --all --format csv > savings.csv
|
||||
|
||||
# Combined flags
|
||||
rtk gain --graph --history --quota # Classic view with extras
|
||||
rtk gain --daily --weekly --monthly # Multiple breakdowns
|
||||
|
||||
# Reset all tracking data
|
||||
rtk gain --reset # prompts [y/N] before deleting
|
||||
rtk gain --reset --yes # skip prompt (CI/scripts)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Command Options
|
||||
|
||||
### Temporal Flags
|
||||
|
||||
| Flag | Description | Output |
|
||||
|------|-------------|--------|
|
||||
| `--daily` | Day-by-day breakdown | All days with full metrics |
|
||||
| `--weekly` | Week-by-week breakdown | Aggregated by Sunday-Saturday weeks |
|
||||
| `--monthly` | Month-by-month breakdown | Aggregated by calendar month |
|
||||
| `--all` | All time breakdowns | Daily + Weekly + Monthly combined |
|
||||
|
||||
### Classic Flags (still available)
|
||||
|
||||
| Flag | Description |
|
||||
|------|-------------|
|
||||
| `--graph` | ASCII graph of last 30 days |
|
||||
| `--history` | Recent 10 commands |
|
||||
| `--quota` | Monthly quota analysis (Pro/5x/20x tiers) |
|
||||
| `--tier <TIER>` | Quota tier: pro, 5x, 20x (default: 20x) |
|
||||
|
||||
### Reset Flag
|
||||
|
||||
| Flag | Description |
|
||||
|------|-------------|
|
||||
| `--reset` | Permanently delete all tracking data (commands + parse failures) |
|
||||
| `--yes` | Skip the confirmation prompt (for CI/scripts) |
|
||||
|
||||
> **Warning**: `--reset` is irreversible. It clears both the `commands` and `parse_failures` tables atomically. A `[y/N]` confirmation prompt is shown by default. In non-interactive environments (piped stdin), it defaults to `N` unless `--yes` is passed.
|
||||
|
||||
### Export Formats
|
||||
|
||||
| Format | Flag | Use Case |
|
||||
|--------|------|----------|
|
||||
| `text` | `--format text` (default) | Terminal display |
|
||||
| `json` | `--format json` | Programmatic analysis, APIs |
|
||||
| `csv` | `--format csv` | Excel, data analysis, plotting |

## Analysis Workflows
|
||||
|
||||
### Weekly Progress Tracking
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Generate weekly report every Monday
|
||||
rtk gain --weekly --format csv > reports/week-$(date +%Y-%W).csv
|
||||
|
||||
# Compare this week vs last week

|
||||
|
||||
### Monthly Cost Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Export monthly data for budget review
|
||||
rtk gain --monthly --format json | jq '.monthly[] |
|
||||
{month, saved_tokens, quota_pct: (.saved_tokens / 6000000 * 100)}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Data Science Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import pandas as pd
|
||||
import subprocess
|
||||
|
||||
# Get CSV data
|
||||
result = subprocess.run(['rtk', 'gain', '--all', '--format', 'csv'],
|
||||
capture_output=True, text=True)
|
||||
|
||||
# Parse daily data
|
||||
lines = result.stdout.split('\n')
|
||||
daily_start = lines.index('# Daily Data') + 2
|
||||
daily_end = lines.index('', daily_start)
|
||||
daily_df = pd.read_csv(pd.StringIO('\n'.join(lines[daily_start:daily_end])))
|
||||
|
||||
# Plot savings trend
|
||||
daily_df['date'] = pd.to_datetime(daily_df['date'])
|
||||
daily_df.plot(x='date', y='savings_pct', kind='line')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Excel Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
1. Export CSV: `rtk gain --all --format csv > rtk-data.csv`
|
||||
2. Open in Excel
|
||||
3. Create pivot tables:
|
||||
- Daily trends (line chart)
|
||||
- Weekly totals (bar chart)
|
||||
- Savings % distribution (histogram)
|
||||
|
||||
### Dashboard Creation
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Generate dashboard data daily via cron
|
||||
0 0 * * * rtk gain --all --format json > /var/www/dashboard/rtk-stats.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Serve with static site
|
||||
cat > index.html <<'EOF'
|
||||
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/chart.js"></script>
|
||||
<canvas id="savings"></canvas>
|
||||
<script>
|
||||
fetch('rtk-stats.json')
|
||||
.then(r => r.json())
|
||||
.then(data => {
|
||||
new Chart(document.getElementById('savings'), {
|
||||
type: 'line',
|
||||
data: {
|
||||
labels: data.daily.map(d => d.date),
|
||||
datasets: [{
|
||||
label: 'Daily Savings %',
|
||||
data: data.daily.map(d => d.savings_pct)
|
||||
}]
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
</script>
|
||||
EOF
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Understanding Token Savings
|
||||
|
||||
### Token Estimation
|
||||
|
||||
rtk estimates tokens using `text.len() / 4` (4 characters per token average).
|
||||
|
||||
**Accuracy**: ±10% compared to actual LLM tokenization (sufficient for trends).
|
||||
|
||||
### Savings Calculation
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Input Tokens = estimate_tokens(raw_command_output)
|
||||
Output Tokens = estimate_tokens(rtk_filtered_output)
|
||||
Saved Tokens = Input - Output
|
||||
Savings % = (Saved / Input) × 100
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Typical Savings by Command
|
||||
|
||||
| Command | Typical Savings | Mechanism |
|
||||
|---------|----------------|-----------|
|
||||
| `rtk git status` | 77-93% | Compact stat format |
|
||||
| `rtk eslint` | 84% | Group by rule |
|
||||
| `rtk jest` | 94-99% | Show failures only |
|
||||
| `rtk vitest` | 94-99% | Show failures only |
|
||||
| `rtk find` | 75% | Tree format |
|
||||
| `rtk pnpm list` | 70-90% | Compact dependencies |
|
||||
| `rtk grep` | 70% | Truncate + group |
|
||||
|
||||
## Database Management
|
||||
|
||||
### Inspect Raw Data
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Location
|
||||
ls -lh ~/.local/share/rtk/history.db
|
||||
|
||||
# Schema
|
||||
sqlite3 ~/.local/share/rtk/history.db ".schema"
|
||||
|
||||
# Recent records
|
||||
sqlite3 ~/.local/share/rtk/history.db \
|
||||
"SELECT timestamp, rtk_cmd, saved_tokens FROM commands
|
||||
ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 10"
|
||||
|
||||
# Total database size
|
||||
sqlite3 ~/.local/share/rtk/history.db \
|
||||
"SELECT COUNT(*),
|
||||
SUM(saved_tokens) as total_saved,
|
||||
MIN(DATE(timestamp)) as first_record,
|
||||
MAX(DATE(timestamp)) as last_record
|
||||
FROM commands"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Backup & Restore
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Backup
|
||||
cp ~/.local/share/rtk/history.db ~/backups/rtk-history-$(date +%Y%m%d).db
|
||||
|
||||
# Restore
|
||||
cp ~/backups/rtk-history-20260128.db ~/.local/share/rtk/history.db
|
||||
|
||||
# Export for migration
|
||||
sqlite3 ~/.local/share/rtk/history.db .dump > rtk-backup.sql
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Cleanup
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Manual cleanup (older than 90 days)
|
||||
sqlite3 ~/.local/share/rtk/history.db \
|
||||
"DELETE FROM commands WHERE timestamp < datetime('now', '-90 days')"
|
||||
|
||||
# Reset all data
|
||||
rm ~/.local/share/rtk/history.db
|
||||
# Next rtk command will recreate database
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
import json
|
||||
import requests
|
||||
|
||||
def send_rtk_stats():
|
||||
result = subprocess.run(['rtk', 'gain', '--format', 'json'],
|
||||
capture_output=True, text=True)
|
||||
data = json.loads(result.stdout)
|
||||
|
||||
message = f"""
|
||||
📊 *RTK Token Savings Report*
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
Savings Rate: {data['summary']['avg_savings_pct']:.1f}%
|
||||
Commands: {data['summary']['total_commands']}
|
||||
"""
|
||||
|
||||
requests.post(SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL, json={'text': message})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### No data showing
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check if database exists
|
||||
ls -lh ~/.local/share/rtk/history.db
|
||||
|
||||
# Check record count
|
||||
sqlite3 ~/.local/share/rtk/history.db "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM commands"
|
||||
|
||||
# Run a tracked command to generate data
|
||||
rtk git status
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Export fails
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check for pipe errors
|
||||
rtk gain --format json 2>&1 | tee /tmp/rtk-debug.log | jq .
|
||||
|
||||
# Use release build to avoid warnings
|
||||
cargo build --release
|
||||
./target/release/rtk gain --format json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Incorrect statistics
|
||||
|
||||
Token estimation is a heuristic. For precise measurements:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Install tiktoken
|
||||
pip install tiktoken
|
||||
|
||||
# Validate estimation
|
||||
rtk git status > output.txt
|
||||
python -c "
|
||||
import tiktoken
|
||||
enc = tiktoken.get_encoding('cl100k_base')
|
||||
text = open('output.txt').read()
|
||||
print(f'Actual tokens: {len(enc.encode(text))}')
|
||||
print(f'rtk estimate: {len(text) // 4}')
|
||||
"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Regular Exports**: `rtk gain --all --format json > monthly-$(date +%Y%m).json`
|
||||
2. **Trend Analysis**: Compare week-over-week savings to identify optimization opportunities
|
||||
3. **Command Profiling**: Use `--history` to see which commands save the most
|
||||
4. **Backup Before Cleanup**: Always backup before manual database operations
|
||||
5. **CI Integration**: Track savings across team in shared dashboards
