NOT FOR app configs unrelated to shell/editor/terminal.0 installsComputerUseFront door for driving this Mac: anything with a DOM, AX, CLI, or API handle routes to Interceptor; pixel-only GUI work goes to a vision agent, OpenAI Astra via codex exec or a tool-less Claude acting through Interceptor's bridge, picked per task class by a measured bake-off, under a deny list, step caps, and a read-back that decides pass/fail. USE WHEN computer use, drive the computer, control the mac, operate this app for me, do it in the GUI, pixel-only app, no API for this, canvas UI, computer-use bake-off, Claude vs OpenAI computer use. NOT FOR DOM/AX handles or web verification (Interceptor), scraping (a scraping skill, BrightData).0 installs

Frequently asked questions about ReadIt

What does the ReadIt skill do?

Reads content aloud in the DA's Fish Audio voice (an article, a file, pasted text, or what the DA just wrote) as one continuous read that starts within seconds and can be paused or stopped. USE WHEN read it to me, read this to me, read that aloud, read it, ri, /ri, play this, say this out loud, listen to this, read the article, read your write-up, stop reading, pause the read, resume the read. NOT FOR spoken tutorials (Teach), narrated video essays (the video-essay skill), one-line status notifications (the voice endpoint), or the phone and text lines. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.

How do I install the ReadIt skill?

Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install lifeos-readit` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/lifeos-readit/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.

Which AI tools does ReadIt work with?

ReadIt runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.

Is the ReadIt skill free?

Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.

How do I use ReadIt after installing it?

In Claude Code, type `/lifeos-readit` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.

Can I share the ReadIt skill with my team?

Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
