Description

I've been using RTK quite a lot lately and noticed that many of the command outputs are in JSON. I think we could further reduce token consumption by using the Toon format. This could probably be implemented quickly and toggled inside the Ultra Compress mode.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Ultra Compress mode and the command outputs that currently use JSON, then read the linked Toon format benchmarks. Done means Toon formatting is available for the relevant outputs and can be toggled within Ultra Compress mode, with the affected command behavior verified.
