About Clash Library: Scope and Maintenance Notes
This page records the catalog's scope, ecosystem background, and cataloging rules, organized by call number with short, plain-spoken entries.
CL-06.1Site Scope
In short: a catalog-style reference room for using Clash.
Clash Library organizes three kinds of holdings, catalog-card style: download entry points for Clash clients across platforms, subscription setup and system-proxy tutorials, and protocol/core reference material for choosing between options. Every entry carries a call number and a cataloging date for easy lookup. The site itself does not build software — it only curates and documents.
CL-06.2Open-Source Ecosystem Background
The lineage of the original core, Clash.Meta, and mihomo, in one section.
Background Card · CL-06.2-01 · Core Lineage
Clash began as an open-source, rule-based proxy core. After the original core stopped receiving updates, the community fork Clash.Meta picked up development, adding support for more protocols and rule types, and was later renamed mihomo. Most mainstream GUI clients today — including Clash Verge Rev and FlClash — run on mihomo as their core, with a config format that's largely compatible with the original and extended further. Every client, tutorial, and term cataloged on this site is organized around this ecosystem.
CL-06.3Cataloging & Maintenance Principles
Three rules, applied consistently.
- Download links point to each project's official release channel and are checked regularly; clients that are no longer maintained get an archived badge instead of being removed from the catalog.
- Tutorials are written after walking through each step on the actual platform — UI text and screenshot paths reflect real testing, not secondhand instructions.
- Every page carries a cataloging date (formatted as
2026-08-01); when content is updated, the date is revised too — outdated conclusions aren't left standing silently.
CL-06.4Usage Boundaries & Feedback
The last section of the lending rules.
This site only curates publicly released open-source software and usage documentation — it does not provide or sell any nodes or subscription services. Use proxy tools in accordance with your local laws; content here is for learning and technical reference only. If a link is dead or a step feels outdated, check the Tutorials page and the Protocol Handbook for entries with a more recent date — the catalog is revised on an ongoing basis under the rules above.
