+## Manage verbosity
+
+You can manage the verbosity using the `skip_output` config.
+
+Possible values are `meta,success,failure,summary`.
+
+This config quiets all outputs except failures:
+
+```yml
+# lefthook.yml
+
+skip_output:
+  - meta
+  - success
+  - summary
+```
+
+You can also do this with an environment variable:
+```bash
+export LEFTHOOK_QUIET="meta,success,summary"
+```
+
 ## CI integration
 
 Enable `CI` env variable if it doens't exists on your service by default.
