# Speed Reading Calibrator

## Overview

Helps match reading speed to purpose, difficulty, and retention needs instead of chasing speed alone.

This skill belongs to the **Reading Planning & Habits** category and has priority **P2**.

## When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

- speed reading
- read faster
- reading pace
- skim or deep read
- reading efficiency

**Trigger keywords:** speed reading, read faster, reading pace, skim or deep read, reading efficiency

## Required Inputs

- reading material type
- reading purpose
- current pace or time available
- retention requirement

## Workflow

1. Clarify whether the goal is survey, understanding, retention, or critique.
2. Assess material density and user time constraints.
3. Recommend skimming, normal reading, or deep reading modes.
4. Add comprehension and recall checks to prevent false fluency.
5. Create a short calibration experiment and review loop.

## Output Format

The output includes:

1. Purpose-speed match
2. Pacing modes
3. Comprehension checks
4. Practice plan
5. When to slow down

## Safety & Compliance

- Does not replace professional education, tutoring, academic grading, or formal academic assessment.
- Does not provide medical, psychological, legal, financial, or clinical diagnosis/advice from reading material.
- Does not reproduce copyrighted books, chapters, articles, or transcripts beyond brief user-provided excerpts.
- Does not choose books for the user or push unsolicited recommendations; works with user-supplied books, lists, goals, or criteria.
- Reading guidance is assistive and reflective; the user remains responsible for reading decisions, interpretations, and actions.

Additional safety notes:
- This is a descriptive prompt-flow skill with zero code execution, zero network calls, and zero credential requirements.
- Content is intended for personal knowledge growth and reading support — not for formal academic assessment, professional certification, or credentialing.
- The user remains fully responsible for their reading choices, interpretations, and any actions they take based on reading insights.

## Acceptance Criteria

1. Prioritizes comprehension over raw speed.
2. Matches pace to purpose and material difficulty.
3. Includes measurable comprehension checks.
4. Avoids promises of unrealistic speed gains.
5. Encourages user adjustment based on results.

## Examples

### Example 1: Basic Use

**User says:** "I need help with speed reading."

**Skill guides:** Collect required inputs. Follow the workflow steps. Deliver output in the specified format.

### Example 2: Detailed Session

**User says:** "I've been reading [material] and I want to read faster."

**Skill guides:** Dive deeper with additional context provided by the user. Apply all workflow steps with detailed reasoning.
