In plain English

frontier-chain-skeleton is a configuration hub for people who manage proxy tools like Shadowrocket (on iOS), Sparkle (on Windows), or FlClash (on Android). Its main job is to merge multiple proxy subscriptions, clean up messy node names, filter out dead or fake nodes, and generate a unified configuration file for each platform. At its core, the project processes subscriptions through a series of scripts. It merges standard proxy subscriptions with "residential" (home broadband) subscriptions, normalizes the node names so they follow a consistent pattern, and removes known bad nodes. The system then generates a final configuration profile that works across Windows and Android, while using a slightly different dual-subscription model for iOS Shadowrocket to handle platform-specific compatibility issues. A person who subscribes to multiple proxy services and wants a clean, unified setup across their phone and computer would use this. For example, if you have a standard airport subscription and a residential proxy, this project combines them and creates a single "residential choice" group. Apps like AI tools or PayPal simply route through that group, meaning you never have to manually pick specific servers or remember which provider a node belongs to. A notable feature of this project is its strict separation of public code and private data. The repository contains no actual subscription links, passwords, or server credentials. All sensitive information is injected temporarily at runtime through environment variables when deploying to a server, and the project includes scripts to safely deploy updates and verify that everything is running correctly without exposing your private URLs. The README also notes that the project has retired older, more complex chaining methods that linked standard proxies to residential ones. It now focuses on a cleaner approach where residential nodes are simply aggregated and filtered dynamically, removing the need for local credential files and making the whole setup easier to maintain.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
How do I set up frontier-chain-skeleton to merge my standard airport subscription with my residential proxy subscription and generate configs for Shadowrocket?
Prompt 2
Help me configure the environment variables for frontier-chain-skeleton so my private subscription URLs are injected safely at runtime without being stored in the repo.
Prompt 3
How does frontier-chain-skeleton filter out dead or fake nodes, and how can I add my own bad-node list to the filtering scripts?
Prompt 4
Walk me through deploying frontier-chain-skeleton to a server and running the verification script to confirm everything is working correctly.
