mute is a command for coding agents from punt-labs/vox. It costs 7 tokens per session (140 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that turns off spoken notifications while leaving chimes enabled.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use `/mute` when you want completion and permission chimes but no spoken notifications.
Why use it?
It stops voice commentary without removing sounds for task completion or permission requests.

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.

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/punt-labs/vox

Or install vox-dev, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 10 commands, 9 hooks.

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

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 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.

What it actually says

/mute command

Disable spoken notifications. Chime sounds still play on task completion and permission prompts.

Implementation

Call the speak MCP tool with mode="n". Then reply with one of these (pick at random, don't repeat the last one used):

  • "OK, I'll zip it."
  • "Going silent."
  • "Lips sealed."
  • "Say no more."
  • "Chimes only, got it."
  • "Muting the commentary."
  • "Read you loud and clear. Well — just clear."
Changes

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.
