Network Switch Skill

To temporarily enable a proxy for curl and GitHub downloads, this Skill exports http_proxy, https_proxy, and all_proxy environment variables to route traffic through a local endpoint, then unsets them afterward to ensure safe proxy shutdown.

The best way to switch network proxy environment variables for Go tool installation is using a session-scoped helper that toggles proxy_on and proxy_off, preventing accidental interference with local network services while fetching external resources.

Yes, you need to load a local shell configuration like ~/.zshrc_proxy that defines proxy_on, proxy_off, and proxy_status with correct HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS settings before executing network access commands.

Proxy diagnostics verify external network access by performing a curl test to confirm proxy functionality, checking port listening status, and inspecting the current proxy environment state to ensure reliable connectivity.

Local network services break when proxy environment variables remain set after external downloads. This Skill prevents this by unsetting http_proxy and https_proxy variables immediately after your session-scoped task completes.

Yes, this Skill works with Clash by routing traffic through a local proxy endpoint on default port 7890, allowing controlled access to external websites and registries like GitHub within a specific session scope.
