Network Proxy Skill

This skill helps you troubleshoot and fix network connectivity issues by applying proxy settings.

When to use

• A command fails with a network error (e.g., "connection refused", "timeout", "network unreachable").
• A download or installation is extremely slow.
• You explicitly ask to "use proxy" or "turn on proxy".

Default Proxy Configuration

Unless the user specifies otherwise, assume the local proxy is running at:

• HTTP Proxy: http://127.0.0.1:6268
• HTTPS Proxy: http://127.0.0.1:6268
• SOCKS Proxy: socks5://127.0.0.1:6268

(Note: Port 6268 is common for tools like Clash/V2Ray. Adjust if the user provides a different port.)

How to Apply

1. Temporary (One-off command)

For a single command execution, prepend the environment variables:

export https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:6268 http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:6268 all_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:6268
[original command]

Example:

export https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:6268 http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:6268 all_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:6268
git clone https://github.com/some/repo.git

2. Session-wide (Current terminal)

To set it for the current session:

export https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:6268
export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:6268
export all_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:6268

3. Unset (Turn off)

To clear the proxy settings:

unset https_proxy http_proxy all_proxy

Troubleshooting

If the default port (6268) doesn't work:

1. Ask the user for their proxy port (common alternatives: 1080, 1087, 8080).
2. Check if a proxy tool is running.
