hush

hush is a skill for Claude Code from shreyas-s-rao/claude-code-narrator. It costs 53 tokens per session (312 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that immediately stops the narrator's current and queued speech output. The narrator remains enabled afterward.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you want the narrator quiet right now. New hook-triggered speech can start again on the next agent action; disabling the narrator entirely requires a separate off command.
Why use it?
It silences speech that is playing or waiting without permanently disabling future narrator messages.

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

hush 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 11d 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

Silence Narrator Immediately

Stop all current and queued speech output immediately.

Steps

Run the following commands to kill all speech processes and clean up:

# Kill the speak daemon if running
if [ -f ~/.claude-code-narrator/daemon.pid ]; then
    kill $(cat ~/.claude-code-narrator/daemon.pid) 2>/dev/null || true
    rm -f ~/.claude-code-narrator/daemon.pid
fi

# Kill any running kokoro-speak.py processes
pkill -f kokoro-speak.py 2>/dev/null || true

# Remove the FIFO to clear any queued messages
rm -f ~/.claude-code-narrator/fifo

After Hushing

Narrator remains enabled after hushing -- only the current and queued speech is stopped. New hook-triggered speech will resume when Claude's next action fires a hook. The daemon will be restarted automatically by speak.sh when the next speech is enqueued.

If the user wants to disable narrator entirely (not just silence current speech), suggest using /narrator:off instead.

Inform the user: "Silenced. Narrator is still enabled and will speak on the next action."

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.
