+"""rtk (Rust Token Killer) handler for Dippy.
+
+rtk is a token-optimized CLI proxy that is typically prepended to bash
+commands via a Claude Code PreToolUse hook. When both rtk and Dippy are
+installed, Dippy sees commands like ``rtk git log`` and would otherwise
+miss the ``git`` handler. This handler treats rtk as a transparent
+wrapper so the inner command is analyzed directly.
+
+Meta subcommands that do not wrap another command:
+- ``rtk gain [--history]``: print token savings analytics (read-only)
+- ``rtk discover``: analyze Claude Code history (read-only)
+- ``rtk proxy <cmd>``: run the raw command without rtk's filtering; we
+  still delegate to the inner command for safety analysis
