What is claude-code-proxy-patterns?

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

Use it to build or debug the proxy, configure the request endpoint, connect compatible providers such as MiniMax, and diagnose OAuth failures.

It helps avoid authentication problems and gives a consistent way to direct different model tiers to different backends.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00023	$0.03486
Opus 5	$0.00012	$0.01743

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 4d 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 MiniMax (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 (MiniMax, etc.)
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.

Port Configuration:

:8082 - Go proxy (entry point, launchd-managed, auto-restart)

The Go proxy uses cenkalti/backoff/v4 for built-in retry logic.

The proxy reads the model field from each /v1/messages request body. If it matches the configured Haiku model ID, the request goes to MiniMax. Everything else falls through to real Anthropic with OAuth passthrough.

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 (61 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 3,486 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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.
