"Error: rtk find does not support compound predicates or actions (e.g. -not, -exec). Use find directly."

probably not good for token usage!

Research direction
Investigate the rtk find command implementation, likely in src/commands/find.rs. Understand how the current predicate parsing works and why compound predicates like not or exec are not supported. Look at related issues or PRs for context. Consider implementing support for compound predicates by extending the parsing logic or integrating with the system find for complex cases.
