Descrizione
Feature Request: RTK support for wsl and wsl.exe commands
Background
Running rtk discover --all on a Windows 11 + WSL2 hybrid environment showed:
| Command | Count (30 days) |
|---|---|
wsl |
523 |
wsl.exe |
56 |
These are the most-used unhandled commands by far, with zero RTK coverage.
Use Case
On Windows with WSL2, nearly every Linux tool invocation goes through wsl:
wsl -d Ubuntu -- git status
wsl -d Ubuntu -- npm run build
wsl -d Ubuntu -- python3 script.py
The output is often large (file listings, build logs, test results) — exactly where RTK filtering saves the most tokens.
Proposed Behavior
rtk wsl [args] should:
- Pass the command through to
wsl/wsl.exe - Apply the same output filtering/truncation as other RTK commands
- Optionally detect the inner command (e.g.
wsl -- git status→ apply git filtering rules)
Environment
- OS: Windows 11 Pro
- RTK version: 0.40.0
- Shell: PowerShell + WSL2 Ubuntu
