quieter

quieter is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from subhansh-dev/agent-maxxing. It costs 22 tokens per session (1,083 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of quieter, MIT.

A design adjustment for interfaces that feel too intense, loud, or visually aggressive. It keeps the main purpose of the design while reducing excessive color, contrast, motion, scale, or decoration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to tone down saturated colors, extreme contrast, heavy visual elements, excessive animation, clutter, or oversized layouts after reviewing the design context.
Why use it?
It helps make an overstimulating interface easier to approach and use. The process identifies which visual choices create the intensity before changing them.

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 5d 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 — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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

MANDATORY PREPARATION

Use the frontend-design skill — it contains design principles, anti-patterns, and the Context Gathering Protocol. Follow the protocol before proceeding — if no design context exists yet, you MUST run teach-impeccable first.


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, ask the user directly to clarify what you cannot infer.

CRITICAL: "Quieter" doesn't mean boring or generic. It means refined, sophisticated, and easier on the eyes. Think luxury, not laziness.

Plan Refinement

Create a strategy to reduce intensity while maintaining impact:

  • Color approach: Desaturate or shift to more sophisticated tones?
  • Hierarchy approach: Which elements should stay bold (very few), which should recede?
  • Simplification approach: What can be removed entirely?
  • Sophistication approach: How can we signal quality through restraint?

IMPORTANT: Great quiet design is harder than great bold design. Subtlety requires precision.

Refine the Design

Systematically reduce intensity across these dimensions:

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.
