claude-code-proxy-patterns

claude-code-proxy-patterns is a skill for Claude Code from terrylica/cc-skills. It costs 23 tokens per session (3,455 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

Guidance for routing Claude Code requests through a local proxy to different AI providers, using Claude Code's OAuth subscription access where applicable.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build or debug the proxy, configure the request endpoint, connect compatible providers such as MiniMax, and diagnose OAuth failures.
Why use it?
It helps avoid authentication problems and gives a consistent way to direct different model tiers to different backends.

    Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.
    Fix: Prevent the skill from modifying its own code, SKILL.md, or configuration files. Treat skill files as read-only at runtime.

    Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
    Fix: Verify the destination URL is trusted and necessary. Remove or replace with documented APIs. Ensure no secrets, tokens, or PII are transmitted.

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 B, and why

claude-code-proxy-patterns scanned grade B with 3 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 14d 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.

Claude Code Proxy Patterns

Multi-provider proxy that routes Claude Code model tiers to different backends. Haiku to a cheaper Anthropic-compatible provider (cost/speed), Sonnet/Opus to Anthropic (native OAuth passthrough). Includes Go binary proxy with launchd auto-restart and failover wrapper for resilience.

Scope: Local reverse proxy for Claude Code with OAuth subscription (Max plan). Routes based on model name in request body.

Reference implementations:

  • Go proxy binary: /usr/local/bin/claude-proxy (port 8082)

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

When to Use This Skill

  • Building or debugging a Claude Code multi-provider proxy
  • Setting up ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL with OAuth subscription mode
  • Integrating Anthropic-compatible providers
  • Diagnosing "OAuth not supported" or auth failures through a proxy
  • Understanding how Claude Code stores and transmits OAuth tokens

Do NOT use for: Claude API key-only setups (no proxy needed), MCP server development, Claude Code hooks (operate at tool level, not API level), or corporate HTTPS proxy traversal.

Changes

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.

claude-code-proxy-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository terrylica/cc-skills (0 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 3,455 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 3 findings (asks for root, makes network calls, runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
