quieter

quieter is a skill for Claude Code from wpgaurav/claude-code-skills. It costs 22 tokens per session (1,374 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of quieter, MIT.

A design-review guide for making visually intense interfaces calmer and easier to approach. It reduces overly bold or overstimulating choices while keeping the design effective.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to soften an existing interface, adjust its visual tone, make designs more approachable, and review whether the result still fits the intended audience and brand.
Why use it?
It helps when strong colors, effects, or other aggressive visual choices distract users or make a product feel uncomfortable.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

89% identical to quieter — 17 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

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.

Load design guidelines when available

If a design-guidelines skill is installed (Anthropic's frontend-design, impeccable's /impeccable commands, or the project's own design system), load it first for principles and anti-patterns. If none is available, continue with the defaults in this file. Do not stop the task because a companion skill is missing.


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

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.
