sdwurg180507280211 China Proxy Manager
Use this skill when a command-line network operation needs a local proxy, especially after a connection timeout/failure or when the user explicitly requests proxy configuration.
Workflow
- Detect whether a known local proxy port is listening:
python ~/.claude/skills/china-proxy/scripts/detect_proxy.py
- If a proxy is available, apply it to the single command where possible:
https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:7890 \
http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:7890 \
git clone https://github.com/owner/repo.git
- Retry the failed operation and report whether the proxy changed the result.
Common tools
Git / curl / wget / Python
Prefer temporary environment variables so the setting does not leak into unrelated sessions:
export https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:7890
export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:7890
npm
For a one-off shell session, environment variables are usually enough. Only write persistent npm proxy configuration when the user explicitly wants it.
Guardrails
- Do not activate merely because a GitHub URL appears; use it for actual connectivity/proxy needs.
- Detect before applying a proxy.
- Prefer command-scoped or session-scoped proxy settings.
- Do not change global Git/npm configuration unless the user explicitly asks for persistent configuration.
- If no proxy is running, report that clearly instead of inventing one.
