At a glance
A skill your agent uses when the user wants to stop any active human-state response mode and return to the assistant's normal response style.
- The user wants to stop any active human-state response mode and return to the assistants normal response style
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
What it does
Normal Mode is an agent skill from softcane/human-state-skills. Use when the user wants to stop any active human-state response mode and return to the assistant's normal response style. Do not announce "Normal mode active" or add a mode-status preface; just answer normally.
Its SKILL.md is about 170 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: Small response modes for AI agents when your head is in a different state. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants to stop any active human-state response mode and return to the assistants normal response style
Example prompts
- “s normal response style. Do not announce”
- “/normal-mode”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ba5914d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Normal Mode loads about 170 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 54 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.
