wtf is speedread-skill?

Speedread skill is an agent skill that helps you read reports written by your coding agent much faster. Instead of scrolling through long text, it turns the agent's markdown report into a single self contained HTML file and opens it in your browser as a speed reading tool. The tool shows one word at a time at a fixed point on the screen, a technique known as rapid serial visual presentation, at speeds you can adjust from 100 to 1600 words per minute. Most people can read two and a half to three and a half times faster right away, and with practice even faster than that. The reader pays attention to the structure of the markdown it is given. Headings appear in capital letters and a different color so you notice a new section without moving your eyes. Bold words display a bit slower, inline code is held longer in a monospace font, and code blocks or tables pause the stream so you can read them in full instead of one word at a time. Lists, paragraphs, and long words each have their own pacing rules, and you can switch to a normal, fully rendered view of the document at any time. Every setting, including speed, font, colors, and pacing, is saved between sessions and can be reset to defaults. To use it with Claude Code, you clone the repository into your skills folder and either ask naturally for a report you can speedread or invoke it directly. Other coding agents such as Cursor or Codex can follow the same plain markdown instructions as long as they can write files and run shell commands. It also works without any agent at all, through a small script that injects a markdown file into the reader and opens it. There is no server or build step involved, the whole reader is a single HTML file. The tool makes no network requests beyond an optional font stylesheet, and it falls back to system fonts if you are offline. It is released under the MIT license.
