haproxy

haproxy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from G1Joshi/Agent-Skills. It costs 18 tokens per session (379 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A proxy and load balancer that receives network requests and distributes them across application servers. Load balancing helps keep services available and prevents one server from handling all traffic.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to balance web or database traffic, route requests by path or other conditions, perform health checks, limit requests, and expose service metrics.
Why use it?
It improves traffic distribution and can detect unavailable servers before sending them requests. It also supports routing rules, rate limits, sticky sessions, and TCP traffic.

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

haproxy scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 9d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

HAProxy

HAProxy is the standard for high-performance load balancing. HAProxy 3.0 (2025) adds Syslog Load Balancing and improved HTTP/3 QUIC support.

When to Use

  • High Traffic: Handling millions of requests per second.
  • L4 Balancing: TCP proxying for Database replicas, Redis, or non-HTTP protocols.
  • Advanced Logic: Complex ACLs, rate limiting, and sticky sessions.

Quick Start

frontend http_front
   bind *:80
   default_backend web_servers

backend web_servers
   balance roundrobin
   server web1 10.0.0.1:80 check
   server web2 10.0.0.2:80 check

Core Concepts

Frontend / Backend

Frontend defines how requests enter (ports, certs). Backend defines where they go and how (algorithms, health checks).

ACLs

Access Control Lists. Powerful conditionals. acl is_api path_beg /api use_backend api_servers if is_api

Stick Tables

In-memory storage for tracking events (e.g. rate limiting by IP).

Best Practices (2025)

Do:

  • Use Data Plane API: For dynamic configuration without reloads.
  • Enable Prometheus Exporter: Built-in metrics endpoint.
  • Tune maxconn: Critical for preventing resource exhaustion.

Don't:

  • Don't use as Web Server: It is a proxy. Use Nginx/Caddy for serving static files.

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.
