Is the Go proxy implementation persistent?

Yes, it includes patterns for macOS launchd configuration, ensuring the proxy runs as a daemon that persists across reboots and automatically restarts if it crashes.

Why would I use a proxy with Claude Code?

Using a proxy allows you to route different model tiers to different providers, such as using MiniMax for Haiku to save costs while keeping Sonnet on Anthropic's native infrastructure.

What is the 'proxy-managed' API key used for?

Setting ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to 'proxy-managed' acts as a sentinel that tells Claude Code to switch from OAuth-only mode to honoring the ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL setting.

How does this skill handle Claude's OAuth authentication?

It implements patterns to read OAuth tokens directly from the macOS Keychain ('Claude Code-credentials') and injects the required 'oauth-2025-04-20' beta headers into proxied requests.

Can I use this for non-Anthropic providers?

Yes, it is designed to work with any provider that supports the Anthropic /v1/messages API format, such as MiniMax or other compatible LLM gateways.

Optimizes Claude Code performance and cost by routing specific model tiers to different AI providers via a local reverse proxy.

This skill provides expert patterns for implementing a local Go-based reverse proxy that intelligently routes Claude Code requests based on model tier. It allows users to send lightweight Haiku requests to cost-effective providers like MiniMax while maintaining native Anthropic access for Sonnet and Opus models. The skill addresses complex authentication challenges by automating macOS Keychain OAuth token retrieval, managing required beta headers, and implementing robust launchd service configurations for background persistence and automated failover.
