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.
