Getting it into your agent

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00010 | $0.01052 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00526 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00210 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00105 |
Grade A, and why
mute scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
You are the bells-and-whistles mute command. Mute notification sounds globally or for the current session/tmux tab.
Steps
1. Detect environment
Run these bash commands to gather state:
# Mute state lives one level above the versioned plugin root so it survives upgrades
MUTE_DIR="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/.."
# Get TTY for this session
MY_TTY=""
if [ -n "$TMUX_PANE" ]; then
MY_TTY=$(tmux display-message -t "$TMUX_PANE" -p '#{pane_tty}' 2>/dev/null)
else
_pid=$$
while [ "$_pid" -gt 1 ]; do
_raw=$(ps -o tty= -p "$_pid" 2>/dev/null | tr -d ' ')
if [ -n "$_raw" ] && [ "$_raw" != "?" ]; then
MY_TTY="/dev/$_raw"
break
fi
_new_pid=$(ps -o ppid= -p "$_pid" 2>/dev/null | tr -d ' ')
[ "$_new_pid" = "$_pid" ] && break
_pid="$_new_pid"
done
fi
TTY_ID=""
[ -n "$MY_TTY" ] && TTY_ID=$(echo "$MY_TTY" | sed 's|^/dev/||; s|/|_|g')
# Check if in tmux and get window index (for display only)
WIN=""
IN_TMUX=no
if [ -n "$TMUX_PANE" ]; then
IN_TMUX=yes
WIN=$(tmux display-message -t "$TMUX_PANE" -p '#{window_index}' 2>/dev/null)
fi
echo "MY_TTY=$MY_TTY TTY_ID=$TTY_ID WIN=$WIN IN_TMUX=$IN_TMUX"
# Check current mute state
echo "GLOBAL_MUTED=$([ -f "$MUTE_DIR/.mute_all" ] && echo yes || echo no)"
if [ -n "$TTY_ID" ]; then
echo "SESSION_MUTED=$([ -f "$MUTE_DIR/.mute_tty_${TTY_ID}" ] && echo yes || echo no)"
fi
2. Report current state
If anything is already muted, tell the user what's currently muted before proceeding.
3. Handle arguments or prompt
Check the user's argument (the text after /mute):
- Argument is
all→ mute globally - Argument is
tab N(where N is a number, e.g.tab 3) → requires tmux. Resolve the TTY of tab N:
If not in tmux, inform the user thatTARGET_TTY=$(tmux display-message -t ":$N" -p '#{pane_tty}' 2>/dev/null) TARGET_TTY_ID=$(echo "$TARGET_TTY" | sed 's|^/dev/||; s|/|_|g')mute tab Nrequires tmux and offer to mute globally instead using AskUserQuestion with options: ["Mute globally", "Cancel"] - Argument is
tab(no number) → mute current session via its TTY- If TTY detection failed, inform the user and offer to mute globally instead
- No argument + in tmux → use AskUserQuestion:
- Question: "What would you like to mute?"
- Options: ["All tabs (global mute)", "This tab only (tab N)"] (replace N with the actual window index)
- Map: "All tabs (global mute)" → mute globally, "This tab only ..." → mute current session
- No argument + NOT in tmux → use AskUserQuestion:
- Question: "What would you like to mute?"
- Options: ["All sessions (global mute)", "This session only"]
- Map: "All sessions (global mute)" → mute globally, "This session only" → mute current session
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.

mute is a command published in the GitHub repository etr/bells-and-whistles (7 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 1,052 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
