Open-source agent skill /first-reader simulates real readers reviewing your draft line by line

The author open-sourced /first-reader, a free agent skill that reads your draft the way a real person would.
How it works:
- It simulates two readers going through the draft one passage at a time, reporting what's interesting, what's confusing, what they skipped, and what they'll remember the next day
- A third reader only skims and says whether they'd have opened the piece at all
You point your agent at a draft and specify the audience, e.g. "backend engineers who've seen ten launches this month". Within minutes you get a plain-language readback plus a page showing the draft with each reader's comments next to the lines they reacted to, with an attention strip tracking engagement rising and falling. Free and open-source.
