At a glance

Restart the local parsec proxy if it was killed mid-session — brings the supervisor back on the routed port so requests stop failing.

  • The user says the proxy died
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Error against 127.0.0.1
  • They killed the proxy and want it back

What it does

Proxy is an agent skill from daseinlabs/parsec. Restart the local parsec proxy if it was killed mid-session — brings the supervisor back on the routed port so requests stop failing. Use when the user says the proxy died, requests hang or error against 127.0.0.1, or they killed the proxy and want it back.

Its SKILL.md is about 380 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Agent runtime optimization with Small Language Models. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says the proxy died
  • Error against 127.0.0.1
  • They killed the proxy and want it back

Example prompts

  • “/proxy”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e97063c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Proxy loads about 382 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 180 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~382

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Restart the local parsec proxy if it was killed mid-session — brings the supervisor back on the routed port so requests stop failing. Use when the user says the proxy died, requests hang or error against 127.0.0.1, or they killed the proxy and want it back.

Run:

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/parsec up

and report its output. The command is idempotent and detached: a live listener on the routed port (parsec's or the user's own) is never double-spawned, so it is always safe to run.

How to read the result:

  • "proxy already listening on 127.0.0.1:PORT — nothing to do" — the routed port is healthy. If the user is still seeing failures, the problem is not a dead proxy; a dead worker needs no intervention either — the supervisor respawns it and forwards straight to Anthropic in the gap.
  • "proxy up on 127.0.0.1:PORT — a stuck session recovers on its next request" — revived. No restart needed: sessions already routed at that port recover on their next request.
  • "proxy spawned … but never started listening — check ~/.parsec/proxy.log" — the spawn failed. Read the tail of that log (tail -30 ~/.parsec/proxy.log) and summarize the actual error for the user rather than guessing.

Scope note: parsec up revives the proxy on the port sessions were launched with. It cannot fix routing that was never written — if ~/.claude/settings.json has no parsec ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL (e.g. after parsec disable), that is /parsec:setup, not this command.

With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add daseinlabs/parsec --skill proxy -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/proxy, .gemini/skills/proxy, .github/skills/proxy and .opencode/skills/proxy in your project.

What does Proxy need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Proxy is instructions for the agent only.

Does Proxy access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
