RTK Rewrite

RTK rewrite plugin for OpenClaw. Intercepts exec tool calls and delegates rewrites to rtk rewrite to reduce token usage while preserving command intent.

RTK Rewrite OpenClaw Plugin

This plugin hooks into OpenClaw's before_tool_call lifecycle:

• Intercepts only exec tool calls
• Calls rtk rewrite "<command>" to request a rewrite
• Replaces the original command when a rewrite is available
• Supports optional audit logs compatible with Claude Code hook audit format

Prerequisites

rtk must be installed and available in PATH.

bash

brew install rtk-ai/tap/rtk

Install Plugin Files

Copy plugin files to the OpenClaw extensions directory:

bash

mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/extensions/rtk-rewrite
cp index.ts openclaw.plugin.json ~/.openclaw/extensions/rtk-rewrite/
openclaw config set plugins.entries.rtk-rewrite.enabled true
openclaw gateway restart

Configuration

• enabled: Enables rewrite behavior. Default true.
• verbose: Prints rewrite logs to console. Default false.
• audit: Writes hook-style audit logs. Default false.
• auditDir: Optional audit directory. Falls back to RTK_AUDIT_DIR or ~/.local/share/rtk.

Verification

bash

rtk rewrite "git status"
rtk hook-audit --since 7 -v
