Launch RSVP speed reader for text

Speed Reader

Launch the RSVP speed reader to display text one word at a time with Spritz-style ORP (Optimal Recognition Point) highlighting.

When to Use

  • You want to launch the RSVP speed reader for text in the current session.
  • The task is to turn either provided text or the assistant's prior response into a word-by-word reading view.
  • You need a quick reading aid rather than a document transformation or summary.

Instructions

  1. Get the text:

    • If $ARGUMENTS is provided, use that text
    • Otherwise, extract the main content from your previous response in this conversation
  2. Prepare the content:

    • Strip markdown formatting (headers, bold, links, code blocks)
    • Keep clean, readable prose
    • Escape quotes and backslashes for JavaScript
  3. Write and launch:

    • Read ~/.claude/skills/speed/data/reader.html
    • Replace <!-- CONTENT_PLACEHOLDER --> with:
      <script>window.SPEED_READER_CONTENT = "your escaped text";</script>
      <!-- CONTENT_PLACEHOLDER -->
      
    • Run: open ~/.claude/skills/speed/data/reader.html
  4. Confirm: Tell the user it's opening. Mention Space to play/pause.

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
