quieter

quieter is a skill for Claude Code from educlopez/ui-craft. It costs 84 tokens per session (496 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design adjustment guide for making a user interface calmer and easier to scan. It reduces visual variation, animation, shadows, decorative color, and unnecessary layout complexity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to simplify layouts, soften visual weight, reduce decorative motion, limit accent colors, and make an existing interface feel more restrained.
Why use it?
It helps when a screen feels busy or over-designed, while keeping the main hierarchy, primary action, accessibility, and meaningful details intact.

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 6d 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

Context: this sub-skill is one lens of the broader ui-craft skill. If the ui-craft skill is also installed, read its SKILL.md first for Discovery + Anti-Slop + Craft Test, then apply the specific lens below.

Make the UI at $ARGUMENTS quieter. Load the ui-craft skill and read references/craft-intent.md.

Reduce amplitude without gutting hierarchy. Calm ≠ boring.

Apply in order (edit code directly):

  1. Declare an updated Craft Read — one line: what softened.
  2. Lower DESIGN_VARIANCE by −1–2 (floor 2). Simplify asymmetric breaks; return to clearer grid rhythm where layout was experimental.
  3. Lower MOTION_INTENSITY by −1–2 (floor 2). Remove scroll reveals and stagger; keep hover/focus only.
  4. Visual weight — compress display sizes one step (e.g. 56→48px); reduce shadow depth to hairline or ambient-only; fewer bordered containers.
  5. Color — pull accent placements toward the 3 minimum; neutralize decorative tints; no new hues.
  6. Cut decorative motion — idle animations, parallax, floating elements with no job.

Preserve: primary hierarchy, one CTA level, accessibility, states, signature detail only if it carries meaning (else simplify it).

Overlap: for structural cuts (sections, copy), also apply /distill logic. For color strategy, see /colorize.

Output: edit code. Print Review Format table. End with the updated Craft Read line.

Next step: /critique — confirm restraint did not flatten the hierarchy (rung 1).

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.
