RKT for IBM Bob

[jonnyjin14]

Hi,

I was wondering if RKT supports IBM Bob, just like it does with Claude. Thank you!

Yes, I installed RTK and actually used BOB to help create the filter needed. Here is a summary for my project that BOB wrote

RTK (Run Task Kit) is a CLI proxy that intercepts command output and filters it down to only the lines that matter before that output lands in Bob's context window. This project ships a project-local filter file at .rtk/filters.toml specifically tuned for IBM i PTF playbook runs. Once you run rtk trust -y in the project root to authorise the file, any ansible-playbook command you execute through rtk will automatically strip the noisy ok: [host], skipping:, and async-poll spam, keeping only PLAY/TASK headers, fatal:/...ignoring failures, changed: lines, the PLAY RECAP tally, and this project's own emoji status markers (✅ ⚠ ❌ ⛔). The output is also capped at 200 lines with individual lines truncated at 500 characters, so a 90-task run that produces 186 raw lines becomes a compact, scannable summary that Bob can reason over without burning through your context budget. Re-run rtk trust -y any time you edit the .toml file, because RTK revokes trust on every content change as a security measure.

Thank you for your reply! Your case explained to me that Bob typically relies on AGENTS.md rules to explicitly call RTK before the command output enters its context. Compared with Claude, it can invoke RTK automatically via hooks. Thanks again for your reply!
