+### Key Components
+
+| Component | Location | Responsibility |
+|-----------|----------|----------------|
+| **CLI Parser** | main.rs | Clap-based argument parsing, global flags |
+| **Command Router** | main.rs | Dispatch to specialized modules |
+| **Module Layer** | src/*_cmd.rs, src/git.rs, etc. | Command execution + filtering |
+| **Shared Utils** | utils.rs | Package manager detection, text processing |
+| **Filter Engine** | filter.rs | Language-aware code filtering |
+| **Tracking** | tracking.rs | SQLite-based token metrics |
+| **Config** | config.rs, init.rs | User preferences, LLM integration |
+
+### Design Principles
+
+1. **Single Responsibility**: Each module handles one command type
+2. **Minimal Overhead**: ~5-15ms proxy overhead per command
+3. **Exit Code Preservation**: CI/CD reliability through proper exit code propagation
+4. **Fail-Safe**: If filtering fails, fall back to original output
+5. **Transparent**: Users can always see raw output with `-v` flags
+
+### Hook Architecture (v0.9.5+)
+
+The recommended deployment mode uses a Claude Code PreToolUse hook for 100% transparent command rewriting.

+
+ruff_cmd.rs       JSON/TEXT DUAL        • check → JSON    80%+
+                                        • format → text
+
+  ruff check:  JSON API with structured violations
+    {
+      "violations": [{"rule": "F401", "file": "x.py", "line": 5}]
+    }
+    → Group by rule, count occurrences
+
+  ruff format: Text diff output
+    "Fixed 12 files"
+    → Extract summary, hide unchanged files
+
+pytest_cmd.rs     STATE MACHINE         Text parser       90%+
+
+  State tracking: IDLE → TEST_START → PASSED/FAILED → SUMMARY
+  Extract:
+    • Test names (test_auth_login)
+    • Outcomes (PASSED ✓ / FAILED ✗)
+    • Failures only (hide passing tests)
+
+pip_cmd.rs        JSON PARSING          JSON API          70-85%
+
+  pip list --format=json:
+    [{"name": "requests", "version": "2.28.1"}]
+    → Compact table format
+
+  pip show <pkg>: JSON metadata
+    {"name": "...", "version": "...", "requires": [...]}
+    → Extract key fields only
+
+  Auto-detect uv: If uv exists, use uv pip instead
+```
+
+#### Shared Infrastructure
+
+**No Package Manager Detection**
+Unlike JS/TS modules, Python commands don't auto-detect poetry/pipenv/pip because:
+- `pip` is universally available (system Python)
+- `uv` detection is explicit (binary presence check)
+- Poetry/pipenv aren't execution wrappers (they manage virtualenvs differently)
+
+**Virtual Environment Awareness**
+Commands respect active virtualenv via `sys.executable` paths.
+
+### Go Stack Architecture

+
+Module            Strategy              Output Format      Savings
+─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+
+go_cmd.rs         SUB-ENUM ROUTER       Mixed formats     75-90%
+
+  go test:  NDJSON STREAMING
+    {"Action": "run", "Package": "pkg1", "Test": "TestAuth"}
+    {"Action": "fail", "Package": "pkg1", "Test": "TestAuth"}
+
+    → Line-by-line JSON parse (handles interleaved package events)
+    → Aggregate: "2 packages, 3 failures (pkg1::TestAuth, ...)"
+
+  go build: TEXT FILTERING
+    Errors only (compiler diagnostics)
+    → Strip warnings, show errors with file:line
+
+  go vet:   TEXT FILTERING
+    Issue detection output
+    → Extract file:line:message triples
+
+golangci_cmd.rs   JSON PARSING          JSON API          85%
+
+  golangci-lint run --out-format=json:
+    {
+      "Issues": [
+        {"FromLinter": "errcheck", "Pos": {...}, "Text": "..."}
+      ]
+    }
+    → Group by linter rule, count violations
+    → Format: "errcheck: 12 issues, gosec: 5 issues"
+```
+
+#### Sub-Enum Pattern (go_cmd.rs)
+
+```rust
+// main.rs enum definition
+Commands::Go {
+    #[command(subcommand)]
+    command: GoCommand,
+}
+
+// go_cmd.rs sub-enum
+pub enum GoCommand {
+    Test { args: Vec<String> },
+    Build { args: Vec<String> },
+    Vet { args: Vec<String> },
+}
+
+// Router
+pub fn run(command: &GoCommand, verbose: u8) -> Result<()> {
+    match command {
+        GoCommand::Test { args } => run_test(args, verbose),
+        GoCommand::Build { args } => run_build(args, verbose),
+        GoCommand::Vet { args } => run_vet(args, verbose),
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Why Sub-Enum?**
+- `go test/build/vet` are semantically related (core Go toolchain)
+- Mirrors existing git/cargo patterns (consistency)
+- Natural CLI: `rtk go test` not `rtk gotest`
+
+**Why golangci-lint Standalone?**
+- Third-party tool (not core Go toolchain)
+- Different output format (JSON API vs text)
+- Distinct use case (comprehensive linting vs single-tool diagnostics)
+
+### Format Strategy Decision Tree
+
+```
+Output format known?
+├─ Tool provides JSON flag?
+│  ├─ Structured data needed? → Use JSON API
+│  │    Examples: ruff check, pip list, golangci-lint
+│  │
+│  └─ Simple output? → Use text mode
+│       Examples: ruff format, go build errors
+│
+├─ Streaming events (NDJSON)?
+│  └─ Line-by-line JSON parse
+│       Examples: go test (interleaved packages)
+│
+└─ Plain text only?
+   ├─ Stateful parsing needed? → State machine
+   │    Examples: pytest (test lifecycle tracking)
+   │
+   └─ Simple filtering? → Text filters
+        Examples: go vet, go build
+```
+
+### Testing Patterns
+
+#### Python Module Tests
+
+```rust
+// pytest_cmd.rs tests
+#[test]
+fn test_pytest_state_machine() {
+    let output = "test_auth.py::test_login PASSED\ntest_db.py::test_query FAILED";
+    let result = parse_pytest_output(output);
+    assert!(result.contains("1 failed"));
+    assert!(result.contains("test_db.py::test_query"));
+}
+```
+
+#### Go Module Tests
+
+```rust
+// go_cmd.rs tests
+#[test]
+fn test_go_test_ndjson_interleaved() {
+    let output = r#"{"Action":"run","Package":"pkg1"}
+{"Action":"fail","Package":"pkg1","Test":"TestA"}
+{"Action":"run","Package":"pkg2"}
+{"Action":"pass","Package":"pkg2","Test":"TestB"}"#;
+
+    let result = parse_go_test_ndjson(output);
+    assert!(result.contains("pkg1: 1 failed"));
+    assert!(!result.contains("pkg2")); // pkg2 passed, hidden
+}
+```

+  • State machine: 3-8ms (regex + state tracking)
+  • NDJSON streaming: 8-15ms (line-by-line JSON parse)
+```
+
+### Module Integration Checklist
+
+When adding Python/Go module support:
+
+- [x] **Output Format**: JSON API > NDJSON > State Machine > Text Filters
+- [x] **Failure Focus**: Hide passing tests, show failures only
+- [x] **Exit Code Preservation**: Propagate tool exit codes for CI/CD
+- [x] **Virtual Env Awareness**: Python modules respect active virtualenv
+- [x] **Error Grouping**: Group by rule/file for linters (ruff, golangci-lint)
+- [x] **Streaming Support**: Handle interleaved NDJSON events (go test)
+- [x] **Verbosity Levels**: Support -v/-vv/-vvv for debug output
+- [x] **Token Tracking**: Integrate with tracking::track()
+- [x] **Unit Tests**: Test parsing logic with representative outputs

+Exit Codes:
+┌─────────┬──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

+│ N       │ Preserved exit code from underlying tool            │

+└─────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+
+Why This Matters:
+• CI/CD pipelines rely on exit codes to determine build success/failure
+• Pre-commit hooks need accurate failure signals
+• Git workflows require proper exit code propagation (PR #5 fix)
+
+Modules with Exit Code Preservation:
+• git.rs (all git commands)
+• lint_cmd.rs (linter failures)
+• tsc_cmd.rs (TypeScript errors)
+• vitest_cmd.rs (test failures)
+• playwright_cmd.rs (E2E test failures)

+## Module Development Pattern
+
+### Standard Module Template
+
+```rust
+// src/example_cmd.rs
+
+use anyhow::{Context, Result};
+use std::process::Command;
+use crate::{tracking, utils};
+
+/// Public entry point called by main.rs router
+pub fn run(args: &[String], verbose: u8) -> Result<()> {
+    // 1. Execute underlying command
+    let raw_output = execute_command(args)?;
+
+    // 2. Apply filtering strategy
+    let filtered = filter_output(&raw_output, verbose);
+
+    // 3. Print result
+    println!("{}", filtered);
+
+    // 4. Track token savings
+    tracking::track(
+        "original_command",
+        "rtk command",
+        &raw_output,
+        &filtered
+    );
+
+    Ok(())
+}
+
+/// Execute the underlying tool
+fn execute_command(args: &[String]) -> Result<String> {
+    let output = Command::new("tool")
+        .args(args)
+        .output()
+        .context("Failed to execute tool")?;
+
+    // Preserve exit codes (critical for CI/CD)
+    if !output.status.success() {
+        let stderr = String::from_utf8_lossy(&output.stderr);
+        eprintln!("{}", stderr);
+        std::process::exit(output.status.code().unwrap_or(1));
+    }
+
+    Ok(String::from_utf8_lossy(&output.stdout).to_string())
+}
+
+/// Apply filtering strategy
+fn filter_output(raw: &str, verbose: u8) -> String {
+    // Choose strategy: stats, grouping, deduplication, etc.
+    // See "Filtering Strategies" section for options
+
+    if verbose >= 3 {
+        eprintln!("Raw output:\n{}", raw);
+    }
+
+    // Apply compression logic
+    let compressed = compress(raw);
+
+    compressed
+}
+
+#[cfg(test)]
+mod tests {
+    use super::*;
+
+    #[test]
+    fn test_filter_output() {
+        let raw = "verbose output here";
+        let filtered = filter_output(raw, 0);
+        assert!(filtered.len() < raw.len());
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Common Patterns
+
+#### 1. Package Manager Detection (JS/TS modules)
+
+```rust
+// Detect lockfiles
+let is_pnpm = Path::new("pnpm-lock.yaml").exists();
+let is_yarn = Path::new("yarn.lock").exists();
+
+// Build command
+let mut cmd = if is_pnpm {
+    Command::new("pnpm").arg("exec").arg("--").arg("eslint")
+} else if is_yarn {
+    Command::new("yarn").arg("exec").arg("--").arg("eslint")
+} else {
+    Command::new("npx").arg("--no-install").arg("--").arg("eslint")
+};
+```
+
+#### 2. Lazy Static Regex (filter.rs, runner.rs)
+
+```rust
+lazy_static::lazy_static! {
+    static ref PATTERN: Regex = Regex::new(r"ERROR:.*").unwrap();
+}
+
+// Usage: compiled once, reused across invocations
+let matches: Vec<_> = PATTERN.find_iter(text).collect();
+```
+
+#### 3. Verbosity Guards
+
+```rust
+if verbose > 0 {
+    eprintln!("Debug: Processing {} files", count);
+}
+
+if verbose >= 2 {
+    eprintln!("Executing: {:?}", cmd);
+}
+
+if verbose >= 3 {
+    eprintln!("Raw output:\n{}", raw);
+}
+```
+

+
+## Build Optimizations
+
+### Release Profile (Cargo.toml)
+
+```toml
+[profile.release]
+opt-level = 3          # Maximum optimization
+lto = true             # Link-time optimization
+codegen-units = 1      # Single codegen unit for better optimization
+strip = true           # Remove debug symbols
+panic = "abort"        # Smaller binary size
+```
+
+### Performance Characteristics

+
+Binary:
+  • Size: ~4.1 MB (stripped release build)
+  • Startup: ~5-10ms (cold start)

+
+## Extensibility Guide
+
+### Adding a New Command
+
+**Step-by-step process to add a new rtk command:**
+
+#### 1. Create Module File
+
+```bash
+touch src/mycmd.rs
+```
+
+#### 2. Implement Module (src/mycmd.rs)
+
+```rust
+use anyhow::{Context, Result};
+use std::process::Command;
+use crate::tracking;
+
+pub fn run(args: &[String], verbose: u8) -> Result<()> {
+    // Execute underlying command
+    let output = Command::new("mycmd")
+        .args(args)
+        .output()
+        .context("Failed to execute mycmd")?;
+
+    let raw = String::from_utf8_lossy(&output.stdout);
+
+    // Apply filtering strategy
+    let filtered = filter(&raw, verbose);
+
+    // Print result
+    println!("{}", filtered);
+
+    // Track savings
+    tracking::track("mycmd", "rtk mycmd", &raw, &filtered);
+
+    Ok(())
+}
+
+fn filter(raw: &str, verbose: u8) -> String {
+    // Implement your filtering logic
+    raw.lines().take(10).collect::<Vec<_>>().join("\n")
+}
+
+#[cfg(test)]
+mod tests {
+    use super::*;
+
+    #[test]
+    fn test_filter() {
+        let raw = "line1\nline2\n";
+        let result = filter(raw, 0);
+        assert!(result.contains("line1"));
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### 3. Declare Module (main.rs)
+
+```rust
+// Add to module declarations (alphabetically)
+mod mycmd;
+```
+
+#### 4. Add Command Enum Variant (main.rs)
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Subcommand)]
+enum Commands {
+    // ... existing commands ...
+
+    /// Description of your command
+    Mycmd {
+        /// Arguments your command accepts
+        #[arg(trailing_var_arg = true, allow_hyphen_values = true)]
+        args: Vec<String>,
+    },
+}
+```
+
+#### 5. Add Router Match Arm (main.rs)
+
+```rust
+match cli.command {
+    // ... existing matches ...
+
+    Commands::Mycmd { args } => {
+        mycmd::run(&args, verbose)?;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### 6. Test Your Command
+
+```bash
+# Build and test
+cargo build
+./target/debug/rtk mycmd arg1 arg2
+
+# Run tests
+cargo test mycmd::tests
+
+# Check with clippy
+cargo clippy --all-targets
+```
+
+#### 7. Document Your Command
+
+Update CLAUDE.md:
+
+```markdown
+### New Commands
+
+**rtk mycmd** - Description of what it does
+- Strategy: [stats/grouping/filtering/etc.]
+- Savings: X-Y%
+- Used by: [workflow description]
+```
+
+### Design Checklist
+
+When implementing a new command, consider:
+
+- [ ] **Filtering Strategy**: Which of the 9 strategies fits best?
+- [ ] **Exit Code Preservation**: Does your command need to preserve exit codes for CI/CD?
+- [ ] **Verbosity Support**: Add debug output for `-v`, `-vv`, `-vvv`
+- [ ] **Error Handling**: Use `.context()` for meaningful error messages
+- [ ] **Package Manager Detection**: For JS/TS tools, use the standard detection pattern
+- [ ] **Tests**: Add unit tests for filtering logic
+- [ ] **Token Tracking**: Integrate with `tracking::track()`
+- [ ] **Documentation**: Update CLAUDE.md with token savings and use cases
+
+---
+
+## Architecture Decision Records
+
+### Why Rust?
+
+- **Performance**: ~5-15ms overhead per command (negligible for user experience)
+- **Safety**: No runtime errors from null pointers, data races, etc.
+- **Single Binary**: No runtime dependencies (distribute one executable)
+- **Cross-Platform**: Works on macOS, Linux, Windows without modification
+
+### Why SQLite for Tracking?
+
+- **Zero Config**: No server setup, works out-of-the-box
+- **Lightweight**: ~100KB database for 90 days of history
+- **Reliable**: ACID compliance for data integrity
+- **Queryable**: Rich analytics via SQL (gain report)
+
+### Why anyhow for Error Handling?
+
+- **Context**: `.context()` adds meaningful error messages throughout call chain
+- **Ergonomic**: `?` operator for concise error propagation
+- **User-Friendly**: Error display shows full context chain
+
+### Why Clap for CLI Parsing?
+
+- **Derive Macros**: Less boilerplate (declarative CLI definition)
+- **Auto-Generated Help**: `--help` generated automatically
+- **Type Safety**: Parse arguments directly into typed structs
+- **Global Flags**: `-v` and `-u` work across all commands
+
