NPC rushing me

[taieb]

Every time i start a skirmish game, the npc attacks me 1 minute in, i couldnt even build barracks but the npc keeps attacking me super early, how do i stop this

In the first minute really? Have you tried clicking the gear icon next to the AI at the game setup and lowering the difficulty? If you don't want to be attacked at all, start with the Sandbox difficulty, but Very Easy should be slow enough to give you enough time.

Also in the game type setting wihtin the map selection panel (on the right there is Map | Player | Game type) you can chose a grace period ("ceasefire")  for how long you will not be attacked. 

Finally, in addition to setting AI difficulty to Easy, Very Easy or Sandbox as Boudica suggested, you can also reduce Game Speed on the same Game Type panel (or alternatively from within game using the little clock icon on the left of the top right controls group.

They are some skirmish maps with hostile Gaia camps spawning units 20 meters near your starting base. They are quite annoying, and you should avoid these maps.
