This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (SKILL.md not found in repo tree). The test below is what we measured on Jul 21, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.

Located SKILL.md at plugins/ghost/skills/proxy/SKILL.md via the GitHub tree API; frontmatter parses cleanly with name "ghost-proxy" and a precise description. The only body-referenced file, the reaper install.sh at raw.githubusercontent.com/ghostsecurity/reaper/main/scripts/install.sh, returns HTTP 200; I read it and it is a standard cross-platform installer pulling signed release tarballs from github.com/ghostsecurity/reaper releases — the one smell is the documented curl|bash bootstrap, but it targets the vendor's own repo with no exfiltration or base64 blobs. Paths are all $HOME-relative (~/.ghost/bin, ~/.reaper), none hardcoded. I could NOT run output vs baseline: the skill is a thin wrapper over the reaper MITM proxy binary, which is not installed here (which reaper -> not found) and would require live TLS interception setup, so outputMeasured=false and I did not fabricate a captured-traffic artifact.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 5/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

What Ghost Proxy does

A Claude Code skill that operates the external reaper MITM proxy CLI to intercept, log, and inspect HTTP/HTTPS traffic for application-security testing. It documents commands to start/stop the proxy scoped to domains or hosts, view captured entries, search by method/path/status/host, and dump raw request/response pairs. Triggers when the user asks to start a proxy, capture or intercept traffic, or search and inspect captured HTTP requests.

How to install Ghost Proxy

Nothing to install: the source repository no longer has this skill. If the author brings it back, our daily re-check will pick it up and the command will reappear here.

Commands — how to trigger Ghost Proxy

  • /ghost-proxy Drives the reaper MITM proxy CLI to capture, search, and replay HTTP/HTTPS traffic

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Start the proxy and capture this app's traffic
  • Search captured requests for a specific endpoint
  • Inspect the raw HTTP response for this request

Frequently asked questions

Is the Ghost Proxy skill free?
Yes. The skill itself is free from ghostsecurity/skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
Does Ghost Proxy work with Claude Code?
We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 21, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup.

How do I install Ghost Proxy?
Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
Can I use Ghost Proxy with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
