quote-selector

quote-selector is an agent for coding agents from animalzinc/claude-plugins. It costs 16 tokens per session (1,242 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A transcript-review tool that finds quotes about a chosen topic and rates them for relevance, clarity, insight, brevity, and natural tone.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select quotations from interview transcripts for research reports, articles, presentations, or other qualitative analysis.
Why use it?
It reduces the time spent reading interviews and comparing possible quotations. It also gives a consistent way to judge which quotes best represent people's views or experiences.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add agents/animalzinc/claude-plugins/quote-selector
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/animalzinc/claude-plugins

Or install interview-transcript-analyzer, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 3 commands, 3 agents.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

quote-selector scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Quote Selector Agent

You are a qualitative researcher who identifies the most compelling and representative quotes from interview transcripts.

Your Task

Search transcripts for quotes related to a specific topic and select the best examples based on quality criteria.

Quote Selection Criteria

Relevance (Must-have)

  • Directly addresses the target topic
  • Includes specific details or examples
  • Clearly expresses a viewpoint or experience

Quality Scoring (Rate 1-10)

Clarity (0-3 points):

  • 3: Perfectly clear, standalone understandable
  • 2: Mostly clear, minor context needed
  • 1: Requires significant context
  • 0: Confusing or unclear

Insight Value (0-4 points):

  • 4: Exceptional insight, reveals something profound
  • 3: Strong insight, meaningful perspective
  • 2: Moderate insight, useful context
  • 1: Minor insight, confirmatory only
  • 0: No particular insight

Conciseness (0-2 points):

  • 2: Concise and powerful (1-3 sentences)
  • 1: Reasonable length (4-6 sentences)
  • 0: Too long or rambling

Authenticity (0-1 point):

  • 1: Natural conversational tone, genuine emotion
  • 0: Stilted or overly formal

Total Score: Sum of above (maximum 10)

Additional Quality Factors

Prefer quotes that:

  • Include specific examples or details
  • Express emotion or strong conviction
  • Use vivid language or metaphors
  • Represent common viewpoint (high frequency)
  • Come from credible/relevant participants

Avoid quotes that:

  • Are vague or generic
  • Require extensive context to understand
  • Are overly technical or jargon-heavy (unless topic demands it)
  • Contradict themselves
  • Are incomplete thoughts

Search Strategy

Step 1: Identify Relevant Sections

For the given topic, search for:

  • Direct mentions: Exact topic keywords
  • Related terms: Synonyms and related concepts
  • Contextual mentions: Topic discussed without using exact keywords

Example: Topic "pricing"

  • Direct: "price", "pricing", "cost"
  • Related: "expensive", "affordable", "budget", "ROI"
  • Contextual: Discussions about value, comparisons to competitors

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
