What would be the context behind the Reading Steiner skill that Steins;Gate's Okabe Rintarou possessed? By chance, even a logic that accompanies the narrative of the work? Or is it just another Deus Ex

There was a short 3 episode OVA where its explained that Makise goes back in time and interacts with Okabe and that is what awakens his ability, or at least its implied.

No, there is no OVA like that

Yeah, it seems like it was a movie rather than an OVA. https://myanimelist.net/anime/11577/Steins_Gate_Movie__Fuka_Ryouiki_no_D%C3%A9j%C3%A0_vu?q=stein&cat=anime

That has nothing to do with "awakening Okabe's ability", that's not what happens in the movie

Its possible that is simply how I interpreted it. I have only seen that movie once and a long time ago, but I seem to remember that Okabe was implied to have gained that ability when he was younger and had a cold and, I think that he had that cold after he met Kurisu in this movie, at least that is how I remember it.
