What is CN Dev Setup?
CN Dev Setup is an essential utility designed for the Openclaw Skills ecosystem to resolve the common challenges of slow download speeds and connection timeouts faced by developers in China. This skill automates the configuration of domestic mirrors for a wide range of package managers and development environments, ensuring a smooth and efficient coding experience.
By leveraging this component of Openclaw Skills, developers can instantly transition their local environments to use trusted high-speed registries such as Alibaba Cloud, Tsinghua TUNA, and npmmirror. It covers everything from Node.js and Python to Docker and Rust, removing the need for manual configuration of individual config files and environment variables.
CN Dev Setup Use Cases
- Resolving timeout issues during npm install, pip install, or cargo build operations.
- Accelerating Docker image pulls by configuring domestic mirror endpoints.
- Streamlining the initial setup of a new development machine for optimal performance in China.
- Switching back to official upstream registries when required for specific testing or debugging.
- Configuring Git proxies to handle GitHub connection instability.
How CN Dev Setup Works
- The Openclaw Skills agent executes the status check command to identify current registry settings for all installed development tools.
- Users can trigger a global optimization or select specific tools like npm, Go, or Maven for mirror migration.
- The skill automatically updates configuration files (such as .npmrc, daemon.json, or settings.xml) or executes tool-specific CLI commands to point to domestic mirrors.
- A verification step confirms that the new mirrors are active and reachable, providing a summary of the environment status.
CN Dev Setup Setup
To deploy this configuration using your Openclaw Skills setup, run the following Python-based scripts from within the skill directory:
# Configure all detected tools to use domestic mirrors
python scripts/setup_mirrors.py --all
# Configure only specific tools like npm and pip
python scripts/setup_mirrors.py npm pip
# Check the current mirror configuration status
python scripts/setup_mirrors.py --status
# Reset specific tools to their default official mirrors
python scripts/setup_mirrors.py --reset npm pip
