Problem
rtk discover shows ~1,300 kubectl commands not being rewritten despite kubectl being a supported proxy. The issue is that rtk rewrite only handles the simplest form (kubectl <subcommand> ...) but misses common real-world patterns.
Patterns not rewritten
| Pattern | Example | Expected |
|---|---|---|
| Flags before subcommand | kubectl --context msquant-test get pods -n test |
rtk kubectl --context msquant-test get pods -n test |
kubectl exec |
kubectl exec -n test pod-0 -- psql |
rtk kubectl exec -n test pod-0 -- psql |
| Variable assignment wrapper | REDIS_POD=$(kubectl get pods -n test -l app=redis -o name) |
REDIS_POD=$(rtk kubectl get pods ...) |
| Line continuation | \kubectl --kubeconfig ... |
rtk kubectl --kubeconfig ... |
Reproduction
$ rtk rewrite 'kubectl get pods -n test'
rtk kubectl get pods -n test # ✅ works
$ rtk rewrite 'kubectl --context msquant-test get pods -n test'
# exit 1, no output # ❌ missed
$ rtk rewrite 'kubectl exec -n test msquant-postgresql-0 -- psql'
# exit 1, no output # ❌ missed
$ rtk rewrite 'REDIS_POD=$(kubectl get pods -n test -l app=redis -o name)'
# exit 1, no output # ❌ missed
Environment
- rtk 0.30.1
- macOS (Darwin 23.5.0)
- Hook: rtk-rewrite.sh (hook v2)
Impact
~1,300 kubectl commands over 30 days not getting token savings. kubectl output (pod lists, describe, logs) is often very verbose — high savings potential.
