xmake-network

xmake-network is a skill for Claude Code from xmake-io/xmake-skills. It costs 73 tokens per session (2,286 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for configuring Xmake, a build and package tool, to download dependencies through proxies, mirrors, or local package folders.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set HTTP or SOCKS5 proxies, allow specific hosts, route downloads with rules, rewrite GitHub URLs to mirrors, or reuse packages already downloaded.
Why use it?
It helps when dependency downloads are slow, blocked, or unreliable, including on restricted corporate or regional networks.

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

xmake-network 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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 230 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Xmake Network & Download Acceleration

When xrepo install, xmake require, or package fetches are slow or fail, xmake gives you several tools in increasing order of power: manual download dir → global proxy → proxy with host allow-list → pac.lua for full rule-based routing and URL mirroring.

All of these are configured with xmake g (global config) — settings persist across all projects on the machine.

1. Quickest win: manual download directory

If you already have the source tarballs (downloaded by hand, from a mirror, or shared across a team), drop them in a directory and point xmake at it:

xmake g --pkg_searchdirs="/download/packages"

Xmake will search this directory before hitting the network. To find out what filename to put there:

xmake require --info zlib
# -> searchnames: zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz

Drop zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz into /download/packages/ and the next install uses it offline.

Good for: CI caches, air-gapped machines, shared team caches on a file server.

2. Global proxy

xmake g --proxy="http://127.0.0.1:7890"
xmake g --proxy="https://host:port"
xmake g --proxy="socks5://127.0.0.1:1086"

This proxies everything xmake downloads — git, curl, wget, HTTP packages. Unset with xmake g --proxy=.

Notes:

  • The protocol is passed through to the underlying downloader. socks5:// only works for curl/git — wget does not support socks5, so packages that xmake fetches via wget may fail. Prefer http:// or https:// proxies for maximum compatibility.
  • xmake g --help lists all network-related flags.

3. Proxy only for specific hosts

Global proxying slows down non-blocked traffic. Scope it down:

xmake g --proxy="http://127.0.0.1:7890" \
        --proxy_hosts="github.com,*.githubusercontent.com,gitlab.*,*.xmake.io"

Only matching hosts go through the proxy; everything else goes direct. * is a Lua pattern wildcard (more flexible than shell glob — any Lua pattern works).

Unset with xmake g --proxy_hosts=.

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.

xmake-network is a skill published in the GitHub repository xmake-io/xmake-skills (23 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 2,286 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-30.
