What it does
Quiet is an agent skill from kunchenguid/firstmate. Enter quiet supervision mode when the captain invokes /quiet or asks for quiet mode, quiet-while-present, or fewer routine wake turns while they stay in the session. Where Pi's supervision branch or an attended supervision host already keeps routine wakes off the conversation, it enters nothing and says so.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Talk to one agent. Ship with a crew. The licence is MIT.

Context cost
Quiet loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 150 tokens; SKILL.md has 752 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- Enter quiet supervision mode when the captain invokes /quiet or asks for quiet mode, quiet-while-present, or fewer routine wake turns while they stay in the session. Where Pi's supervision branch or an attended supervision host already keeps routine wakes off the conversation, it enters nothing and says so. Elsewhere it sets the same durable away/quiet-mode flag as /afk, in `quiet` mode, so the sub-supervisor daemon self-handles routine wakes and escalates captain-relevant events exactly as away mode does, but ordinary captain chat does NOT exit it - only an explicit `/quiet off` does.

quiet
Quiet supervision mode (kunchenguid/firstmate#2356): the same token-saving
daemon tradeoff as /afk, made explicit for a captain who is staying,
watching the session, and does not want to exit the mode just by chatting.
Where a daemon runs, this skill is a thin wrapper.
The afk skill owns the daemon's injection, busy/composer guards, and reliability properties; quiet mode uses that machinery while the captain remains present.
For captain-held rechecks under quiet, see architecture.
What it does
First check whether quiet mode needs anything here. On Pi or pi-signed, enter nothing: the attended branch already keeps routine wakes out of this conversation (the
afkskill's step 2); tell the captain so. Everywhere else runbin/fm-afk-launch.sh quiet-check; its header's QUIET MODE owns what each result means.- Exit 0: enter nothing - no record, no flag, no daemon, and
/quiet offthen needs nothing either. Tell the captain inAGENTS.mdsection 9 language that supervision here already works that way: routine fleet events stay off this conversation, while decisions, failures, credentials, and review-ready work still reach them. When its line says the supervision session is paused, say instead that routine updates reach them until it recovers, and when it next retries. - Exit 2: an away record is live, so the captain has returned: run the
afkskill's return and clear its catch-up gate, then runquiet-checkagain and follow its new result. - Exit 1: go on to step 1; if it printed a line, first tell the captain plainly what keeps supervision from already being quiet here.
- Exit 0: enter nothing - no record, no flag, no daemon, and
Enter the lifecycle through
bin/fm-afk-launch.sh, exactly as/afkdoes, withFM_AFK_MODE=quietset first. Follow theafkskill's record entry, daemon launch, and announcement steps, except that on a home that runs the supervision host its/afkno-daemon rule does not apply afterquiet-checkexits 1. Never arm a separatefm-watch.sh. ExportFM_AFK_MODE=quietin the shell that invokesbin/fm-afk-launch.sh enterandstart(orstart-native), so the record notes quiet mode andstate/.afk's first line readsquietinstead ofaway. On a home that runs the supervision host, launch the daemon on the path this harness uses without the host;startandstart-nativetake quiet mode from the recordenterwrote. KeepFM_AFK_MODE=quieton a quiet refresh: an/afkentry, even without new words, replaces a quiet record with an away record and starts hold-for-return.Acknowledge in
AGENTS.mdsection 9 language: "Captain, quiet mode is active; I will batch routine updates and surface only decisions, failures, credentials, or review-ready work - ordinary chat will not exit this, say/quiet offwhen you want normal per-wake responses back."

How to exit quiet mode
Unlike /afk, ordinary chat is never the exit signal - that is the entire
point of this mode (AGENTS.md section 8's away-mode stub, quiet branch).
- Only an explicit
/quiet off(or the captain plainly asking to leave quiet mode / resume normal supervision) exits it: runbin/fm-afk-return.shunchanged, exactly the procedure/afk's "How to exit afk" section documents for its own return path (correct-ordered daemon shutdown, durable wake presentation and acknowledgement, escalation/wedge evidence, and the return-catch-up gate). That script does not read or care about the flag's mode, so it needs no quiet-specific variant. - A marked daemon escalation, or a message beginning
/quietwhile already in quiet mode (refresh, not exit) -> stay in quiet mode and process it, the same two carve-outs/afkdocuments for away mode. - Every other message while in quiet mode is simply answered as ordinary work; the flag and daemon are left untouched.
Orthogonal to approval authority
Quiet mode changes how aggressively firstmate surfaces things, never who approves what.
A PR ready for merge keeps the merge authority from AGENTS.md section 7, and a needs-decision finding keeps the ask-user-authority policy.
The captain is present, so quiet mode holds nothing for a return.
The record a quiet entry writes carries quiet mode (bin/fm-afk-contract.sh mode), and its entry, read-back, and session-start lines say so.
Every action the captain asks for or standing authority covers - landing local-only work, a merge, a dispatch - proceeds now exactly as it would without quiet mode; the afk skill's away holds never apply to a quiet record.
Must not hide a decision or a failure
Per the issue's own author triage: quiet mode is presentation only.
Progress, retries, and internal mechanics stay below deck exactly as in away
mode, but review-ready work, findings, decisions, failures, and credentials
escalate every time, through the same classification policy /afk owns.
Quiet mode is opt-in and never the unconsented default; only an explicit
/quiet invocation enters it.

Can I use Quiet in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add kunchenguid/firstmate --skill quiet -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/quiet, .gemini/skills/quiet, .github/skills/quiet and .opencode/skills/quiet in your project.
What does Quiet need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Quiet is instructions for the agent only.
Does Quiet access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Quiet safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Quiet use?
Quiet is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Quiet use?
About 1.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
