use-cliproxy

use-cliproxy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from contains-studio/fable-delegator. It costs 103 tokens per session (1,434 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A local service that turns subscription logins for tools such as Codex, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Antigravity, and Kimi into standard web endpoints for sending model requests. It sends only the request itself, without an agent's file-editing and command-running setup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Bulk drafting, rewriting, summarising, classifying, extracting information, and judging many model responses through OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible HTTP endpoints.
Why use it?
It avoids repeating the large background instructions that agent tools add to simple model calls. This is useful when you need text results rather than an agent that changes files or runs commands.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is go build -o ~/.local/bin/cliproxy ./cmd/server.

Good fit Bulk drafting, rewriting, summarising, classifying, extracting information, and judging many model responses through OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible HTTP endpoints.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

use-cliproxy scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

CLIProxyAPI Subagent Skill

CLIProxyAPI (cliproxy) is a local server that reuses your CLI subscription OAuth logins (Codex, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Antigravity, Kimi) and re-exposes them as OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible HTTP endpoints. It strips the agent harness — so a call sends only your prompt, none of the 15–23k tokens of system-prompt + tool-definition boilerplate an agent CLI prepends per invocation.

When to use this vs. the agent CLIs — THE decision rule

Task shape Use Why
Agentic / implementation — edit files, run bash, hold repo context, multi-step build, "go implement X" agent CLI (use-codex / use-grok / use-cursor / use-agy / use-droid) The harness (file/bash/tool loop) is the entire value. A raw endpoint can only return text.
Bulk raw generation — draft/rewrite/summarize/classify/extract N items, LLM-as-judge, embeddings-style fan-out CLIProxyAPI No tools needed. Measured: agent CLIs spend ~5–7× the input tokens on harness boilerplate for pure-generation calls (cursor ~23k, droid ~15k overhead PER fresh spawn). The proxy sends only your payload.
One-off question / second opinion either; agent CLI is fine Overhead is negligible at N=1.

Rule of thumb: if the task needs tools, use an agent CLI; if it's just model-in/text-out at volume, use the proxy. Measured basis: docs/x-outreach-design-style bulk drafting was ~85% harness tokens per batch through cursor-agent; the proxy eliminates that.

Setup

Build from source (Go 1.24+) or use the Docker image from CLIProxyAPI:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/router-for-me/CLIProxyAPI && cd CLIProxyAPI
go build -o ~/.local/bin/cliproxy ./cmd/server
mkdir -p ~/.cliproxy/auths

Write ~/.cliproxy/config.yaml (localhost-only recommended):

host: "127.0.0.1"          # localhost-only; do not expose to the network
port: 8317
auth-dir: "~/.cliproxy/auths"
api-keys:
  - "sk-local-<generate-your-own>"   # clients send this as Bearer token
remote-management:
  allow-remote: false
  secret-key: "<generate-your-own>"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

use-cliproxy is a skill published in the GitHub repository contains-studio/fable-delegator (12 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 103 tokens to every session and 1,434 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
