About This Skill
What it does
The gh-checkproxy skill allows an AI agent to verify if a given proxy is functional and working correctly. It checks connectivity and response times, providing valuable information about the health of proxies used for accessing external resources. This helps ensure reliable access and avoids errors due to non-functional proxies.
When to use it
- Troubleshooting connection issues: If an agent is experiencing problems connecting to a service through a proxy, this skill can diagnose if the proxy itself is the problem.
- Proxy health monitoring: Regularly check the status of configured proxies to proactively identify and address potential failures.
- Automated proxy selection: Integrate with a system that automatically selects proxies; use this skill to validate the chosen proxy before routing traffic.
- Testing new proxies: Before fully integrating a new proxy into an agent's workflow, verify its functionality using
gh-checkproxy.
Key capabilities
- Proxy connectivity testing
- Response time measurement
- Functionality verification
Example prompts
- "Check if proxy 127.0.0.1:8080 is working."
- "Test the health of proxy user:[email protected]:3128."
- "Verify that the proxy at my-proxy-server.internal is responding quickly."
Tips & gotchas
The skill requires proper proxy configuration details (address, port, username/password if applicable) to function correctly. Ensure these credentials are provided accurately for successful verification.
