proxelar

proxelar is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tdimino/claude-code-minoan. It costs 89 tokens per session (1,249 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A local proxy that sits between an application and the web, allowing HTTP and HTTPS requests and responses to be inspected or changed with Lua scripts. It includes terminal, text-based, and web interfaces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to debug APIs, inspect traffic to a local server, capture model calls for evaluations, inject CORS or authentication headers, simulate latency, or transform requests and responses.
Why use it?
It makes network behavior visible during development and testing. It can also reproduce conditions such as slow responses, missing headers, mocked endpoints, or blocked telemetry.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

  • medium Excessive Agency · line 58
    Skill grants unrestricted tool access without appropriate constraints. An agent with unfettered tool access can perform arbitrary actions including file modification, network requests, and code execution.
    Fix: Restrict tool access to only the tools required for the skill's stated purpose. Use an explicit allowlist rather than granting blanket access.
  • medium Privilege Escalation · line 96
    Commands invoke sudo or root privileges. Verify this elevated access is necessary and justified.
    Fix: Avoid sudo/root unless strictly required. Prefer least-privilege patterns. If elevation is needed, document the justification and scope.

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

proxelar scanned grade A with 2 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/frametime_bench.js), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

sudo security add-trusted-cert -d -r trustRoot -k /Library/Keychains/System.keychain ~/.proxelar/proxelar-ca.pem

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Unrestricted tool accesslowExcessive agency

A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.

Lua Scripting

Define on_request and/or on_response hooks:

function on_request(request)
    -- request.method, request.url, request.headers, request.body
    -- Return request to forward (modified or not)
    -- Return response table to short-circuit: { status = 403, headers = {}, body = "Blocked" }
    -- Return nil to pass through unchanged
end

function on_response(request, response)
    -- response.status, response.headers, response.body
    -- Return response (modified or not), or nil to pass through
end

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.

proxelar is a skill published in the GitHub repository tdimino/claude-code-minoan (41 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 1,249 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (asks for root, unrestricted tool access). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
