quieter

quieter is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from childrentime/reactuse. It costs 22 tokens per session (1,249 once invoked), scanned A, original, Unlicense.

A design-review skill for making overly bold or visually intense interfaces feel calmer and more approachable while preserving their quality and impact.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to tone down an overstimulating webpage or interface and refine its visual style. It can guide a review of what makes a design feel too bold.
Why use it?
It helps when colors, layouts, or other visual choices feel aggressive or overwhelming. It first gathers context about the audience, use case, and brand tone before suggesting changes.

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

quieter 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 1mo 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.

Reduce visual intensity in designs that are too bold, aggressive, or overstimulating, creating a more refined and approachable aesthetic without losing effectiveness.

MANDATORY PREPARATION

Context Gathering (Do This First)

You cannot do a great job without having necessary context, such as target audience (critical), desired use-cases (critical), brand personality/tone, and everything else that a great human designer would need as well.

Attempt to gather these from the current thread or codebase.

  1. If you don't find exact information and have to infer from existing design and functionality, you MUST STOP and STOP and call the AskUserQuestionTool to clarify. whether you got it right.
  2. Otherwise, if you can't fully infer or your level of confidence is medium or lower, you MUST STOP and call the AskUserQuestionTool to clarify. clarifying questions first to complete your context.

Do NOT proceed until you have answers. Guessing leads to generic design.

Use frontend-design skill

Use the frontend-design skill for design principles and anti-patterns. Do NOT proceed until it has executed and you know all DO's and DON'Ts.


Assess Current State

Analyze what makes the design feel too intense:

  1. Identify intensity sources:

    • Color saturation: Overly bright or saturated colors
    • Contrast extremes: Too much high-contrast juxtaposition
    • Visual weight: Too many bold, heavy elements competing
    • Animation excess: Too much motion or overly dramatic effects
    • Complexity: Too many visual elements, patterns, or decorations
    • Scale: Everything is large and loud with no hierarchy
  2. Understand the context:

    • What's the purpose? (Marketing vs tool vs reading experience)
    • Who's the audience? (Some contexts need energy)
    • What's working? (Don't throw away good ideas)
    • What's the core message? (Preserve what matters)

If any of these are unclear from the codebase, STOP and call the AskUserQuestionTool to clarify.

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.
