- **`skills/last30days/scripts/sync.sh`.** The maintainer dev-deploy script is gone. Every job it did has a better replacement: `npx skills add . -g -y` symlinks the working tree into every detected harness's skill dir (better than sync.sh's copy model — edits propagate live), `hermes skills install mvanhorn/last30days-skill --force` handles Hermes, `clawhub install last30days-official` handles OpenClaw, and the Claude marketplace cache target was a "test against the official install path" hack we shouldn't have been recommending in the first place. The `test_sync_cache_path_uses_skill_version` test was dropped along with it. CLAUDE.md, HERMES_SETUP.md, the PR template, and a render.py docstring were updated to drop references; CHANGELOG and historical docs (release notes, plan files) keep their existing mentions as accurate history.

- After edits: run `bash skills/last30days/scripts/sync.sh` to deploy

## Installation
### Option 1: Via sync.sh (Recommended)
```bash
# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill.git
cd last30days-skill
# Run the sync script
bash skills/last30days/scripts/sync.sh
hermes skills install mvanhorn/last30days-skill --force
```
This will auto-detect Hermes and deploy to `~/.hermes/skills/research/last30days/`
This pulls the latest release from GitHub and deploys to `~/.hermes/skills/research/last30days/`. `--force` reinstalls over any existing copy.
### Option 2: Manual Copy
### Developer / live-edit alternative
If you're hacking on the skill locally and want edits to propagate to Hermes without re-installing, symlink your working tree:
```bash
# Create directory
mkdir -p ~/.hermes/skills/research/last30days
# Copy files
cp skills/last30days/SKILL.md ~/.hermes/skills/research/last30days/
cp -r skills/last30days/scripts ~/.hermes/skills/research/last30days/

### Claude Code (recommended)
```
/plugin marketplace add mvanhorn/last30days-skill
```
Recommended because the Claude Code marketplace handles updates for you — the plugin cache is versioned and auto-refreshes when a new release publishes. Run `claude plugin update last30days@last30days-skill` to force a check.
If you'd rather use the agent-skills install path on Claude Code, that's also supported:
```
npx skills add mvanhorn/last30days-skill -g -a claude-code
```
The native plugin and the `npx skills` install can coexist; Claude Code dedupes the slash command.
### Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, and other Agent Skills hosts
Install via the open [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io) CLI — supports 50+ harnesses including `codex`, `cursor`, `github-copilot`, `gemini-cli`, `claude-code`, `windsurf`, `cline`, `continue`, `roo`, `aider-desk`, `opencode`, `goose`, and more (full list on the [vercel-labs/skills repo](https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills)).
```bash
npx skills add mvanhorn/last30days-skill -g
```
The `-g` (global) flag installs to your user directory so the skill is available across all projects. Without `-g`, `npx skills` installs project-locally into `./.skills/` (committed with the repo). For a research-the-world tool, global is what you want.
By default this installs for whichever harness `npx skills` detects. To target a specific one (or multiple):
```bash
npx skills add mvanhorn/last30days-skill -g -a codex
npx skills add mvanhorn/last30days-skill -g -a cursor
npx skills add mvanhorn/last30days-skill -g -a gemini-cli
npx skills add mvanhorn/last30days-skill -g -a codex -a cursor
```
Update later with:
```bash
npx skills update last30days -g
```
Or update everything you've installed globally via `npx skills`:
```bash
npx skills update -g
```
List and remove with `npx skills list -g` and `npx skills remove last30days -g`.

### Gemini CLI
Gemini CLI v0.9.0 has an upstream installer bug that can fail with `Configuration file not found at /tmp/gemini-extensionXXXXXX/gemini-extension.json` ([upstream issue](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/11452)). Workaround:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill
gemini extensions install ./last30days-skill
```
### Manual (developer)
```bash
git clone https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill.git ~/.claude/skills/last30days
git clone https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill.git
ln -s "$(pwd)/last30days-skill/skills/last30days" ~/.claude/skills/last30days
```
Or build the claude.ai `.skill` file from source: `bash skills/last30days/scripts/build-skill.sh` produces `dist/last30days.skill`.
The symlink keeps the install in sync with your working tree as you edit — no re-copy needed. For `claude.ai`, build the `.skill` file from source: `bash skills/last30days/scripts/build-skill.sh` produces `dist/last30days.skill`.
Reddit (with comments), Hacker News, Polymarket, and GitHub work immediately. Zero configuration. Run `/last30days` once and the setup wizard unlocks more sources in 30 seconds.
