What this skill does
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: Preserve meaningful prose; do not discard user-requested code or numbers silently. Use a reviewed, actually installed reader template. The historical ~/.claude/skills/speed/data/reader.html path is not bundled by this AAS skill. Keep original assets immutable: write a separate private preview copy. 3. Serialize safely: Serialize text as JSON rather than ad-hoc quote replacement. When embedding JSON inside a script element, escape < as \u003c (and any required Unicode separators) so supplied </script> text cannot become executable HTML. Do not put source text into shell arguments or execute its contents. If the template is absent, report the missing runtime; do not pretend a reader opened. 4. Launch and verify: Open the preview using the current host's supported local-file action, not a macOS-only command on every platform. Inspect actual displayed text and controls. Confirm opening only after successful host evidence; adjust speed to the user. Arguments $ARGUMENTS Example User request: Launch the RSVP speed reader for text in the current session. 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.
