# last30days v3.0.0: Research Any Topic from the Last 30 Days
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
> **Permissions overview:** Reads public web/platform data and optionally saves research briefings to `~/Documents/Last30Days/`. X/Twitter search uses optional user-provided tokens (AUTH_TOKEN/CT0 env vars). Bluesky search uses optional app password (BSKY_HANDLE/BSKY_APP_PASSWORD env vars - create at bsky.app/settings/app-passwords). All credential usage and data writes are documented in the [Security & Permissions](#security--permissions) section.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Research ANY topic across Reddit, X, YouTube, and other sources. Surface what people are actually discussing, recommending, betting on, and debating right now.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Runtime Preflight
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Before running any `last30days.py` command in this skill, resolve a Python 3.12+ interpreter once and keep it in `LAST30DAYS_PYTHON`:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```bash
|
|
||||||
for py in python3.14 python3.13 python3.12 python3; do
|
|
||||||
command -v "$py" >/dev/null 2>&1 || continue
|
|
||||||
"$py" -c 'import sys; raise SystemExit(0 if sys.version_info >= (3, 12) else 1)' || continue
|
|
||||||
LAST30DAYS_PYTHON="$py"
|
|
||||||
break
|
|
||||||
done
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
if [ -z "${LAST30DAYS_PYTHON:-}" ]; then
|
|
||||||
echo "ERROR: last30days v3 requires Python 3.12+. Install python3.12 or python3.13 and rerun." >&2
|
|
||||||
exit 1
|
|
||||||
fi
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Step 0: First-Run Setup Wizard
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**CRITICAL: ALWAYS execute Step 0 BEFORE Step 1, even if the user provided a topic.** If the user typed `last30days Mercer Island`, you MUST check for FIRST_RUN and present the wizard BEFORE running research. The topic "Mercer Island" is preserved — research runs immediately after the wizard completes. Do NOT skip the wizard because a topic was provided. The wizard takes 10 seconds and only runs once ever.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To detect first run: check if `~/.config/last30days/.env` exists. If it does NOT exist, this is a first run. **Do NOT run any Bash commands or show any command output to detect this — just check the file existence silently.** If the file exists and contains `SETUP_COMPLETE=true`, skip this section **silently** and proceed to Step 1. **Do NOT say "Setup is complete" or any other status message — just move on.** The user doesn't need to be told setup is done every time they run the skill.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**When first run is detected, detect your platform first:**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**If you do NOT have WebSearch capability (raw CLI):** Run the terminal-only setup flow below.
|
|
||||||
**If you DO have WebSearch (Hermes):** Run the standard setup flow below.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Terminal-Only / Non-WebSearch Setup Flow
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Run environment detection first:
|
|
||||||
```bash
|
|
||||||
"${LAST30DAYS_PYTHON}" "${SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/last30days.py" setup --terminal
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Read the JSON output. It tells you what's already configured. Display a status summary:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
👋 Welcome to last30days!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Detected:
|
|
||||||
{✅ or ❌} yt-dlp (YouTube search)
|
|
||||||
{✅ or ❌} X/Twitter ({method} configured)
|
|
||||||
{✅ or ❌} ScrapeCreators (TikTok, Instagram, Reddit backup)
|
|
||||||
{✅ or ❌} Web search ({backend} configured)
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Then for each missing item, offer setup in priority order:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. **ScrapeCreators** (if not configured): "ScrapeCreators adds TikTok and Instagram search (plus a Reddit backup if public Reddit gets rate-limited). 10,000 free calls, no credit card. (No referrals, no kickbacks - we don't get a cut.)"
|
|
||||||
- Option A: "ScrapeCreators via GitHub (recommended)" — Check if `gh` CLI was detected in the environment detection output above. If gh IS detected: description should say "Registers directly via GitHub CLI in ~2 seconds - no browser needed". Before running the command, display: "Registering via GitHub CLI..." If gh is NOT detected: description should say "Copies a one-time code to your clipboard and opens GitHub to authorize". Then run `"${LAST30DAYS_PYTHON}" "${SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/last30days.py" setup --github`, parse JSON output. Tries PAT first (if `gh` is installed), falls back to device flow which copies a one-time code to your clipboard and opens your browser. If `status` is `success`, write `SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY=*** to .env.
|
|
||||||
- Option B: "I have a key" — accept paste, write to .env
|
|
||||||
- Option C: "Skip for now"
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2. **X/Twitter** (if not configured): "X search finds tweets and conversations. To unlock X: add FROM_BROWSER=auto (reads browser cookies, free), XAI_API_KEY (no browser access, api.x.ai), or AUTH_TOKEN+CT0 (manual cookies)."
|
|
||||||
- Option A: "I have an xAI API key" (recommended for servers — persistent, no expiry). Write XAI_API_KEY to .env.
|
|
||||||
- Option B: "I have AUTH_TOKEN + CT0 from my browser" — accept both, write to .env
|
|
||||||
- Option C: "Skip for now"
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
3. **YouTube** (if yt-dlp not found): "YouTube search needs yt-dlp. Run: `pip install yt-dlp`"
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
4. **Web search** (if no Brave/Exa/Serper key): "A web search key enables smarter results. Brave Search is free for 2,000 queries/month at brave.com/search/api"
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
After setup, write `SETUP_COMPLETE=true` to .env and proceed to research.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Skip to "END OF FIRST-RUN WIZARD" below after completing the terminal-only flow.**
|
|
||||||
|

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Hermes Setup Flow (Standard)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**You MUST follow these steps IN ORDER. Do NOT skip ahead to the topic picker or research. The sequence is: (1) welcome text -> (2) setup modal -> (3) run setup if chosen -> (4) optional ScrapeCreators modal -> (5) topic picker. You MUST start at step 1.**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Step 1: Display the following welcome text ONCE as a normal message (not blockquoted). Then IMMEDIATELY call AskUserQuestion - do NOT repeat any of the welcome text inside the AskUserQuestion call.**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Welcome to last30days!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I research any topic across Reddit, X, YouTube, and other sources - synthesizing what people are actually saying right now.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Auto setup gives you 5 core sources for free in 30 seconds:
|
|
||||||
- X/Twitter - reads your x.com browser cookies to authenticate (not saved to disk). Chrome on macOS will prompt for Keychain access.
|
|
||||||
- Reddit with comments - public JSON, no API key needed
|
|
||||||
- YouTube search + transcripts - installs yt-dlp (open source, 190K+ GitHub stars)
|
|
||||||
- Hacker News + Polymarket + GitHub (if `gh` CLI installed) - always on, zero config
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Want TikTok and Instagram too? ScrapeCreators adds those (10,000 free calls, scrapecreators.com). No kickbacks, no affiliation.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Then call AskUserQuestion with ONLY this question and these options - no additional text:**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Question: "How would you like to set up?"
|
|
||||||
Options:
|
|
||||||
- "Auto setup (~30 seconds) - scans browser cookies for X + installs yt-dlp for YouTube"
|
|
||||||
- "Manual setup - show me what to configure"
|
|
||||||
- "Skip for now - Reddit (with comments), HN, Polymarket, GitHub (if gh installed), Web"
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**If the user picks 1 (Auto setup):**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Before running the setup command, get cookie consent:**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Check if `BROWSER_CONSENT=true` already exists in `~/.config/last30days/.env`. If it does, skip the consent prompt and run setup directly.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If `BROWSER_CONSENT=true` is NOT present, **call AskUserQuestion:**
|
|
||||||
Question: "Auto setup will scan your browser for x.com cookies to authenticate X search. Cookies are read live, not saved to disk. Chrome on macOS will prompt for Keychain access. OK to proceed?"
|
|
||||||
Options:
|
|
||||||
- "Yes, scan my cookies for X" - Run setup as normal. Append `BROWSER_CONSENT=true` to .env after setup completes.
|
|
||||||
- "Skip X, just set up YouTube" - Run setup with YouTube only (install yt-dlp). Do not scan cookies.
|
|
||||||
- "I have an xAI API key instead" - Ask them to paste it, write XAI_API_KEY to .env. Then install yt-dlp.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Run the setup subcommand:
|
|
||||||
```bash
|
|
||||||
cd {SKILL_DIR} && "${LAST30DAYS_PYTHON}" scripts/last30days.py setup
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
Show the user the results (what cookies were found, whether yt-dlp was installed).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Then show the optional ScrapeCreators offer (plain text, then modal):**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Want TikTok and Instagram too? ScrapeCreators adds those platforms - 10,000 free calls, no credit card. It also serves as a Reddit backup if public Reddit ever gets rate-limited.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Before showing the ScrapeCreators modal, check for `gh` CLI:** Run `which gh` via Bash silently. Store the result as gh_available (true if found, false if not).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Call AskUserQuestion:**
|
|
||||||
Question: "Want to add TikTok, Instagram, and Reddit backup via ScrapeCreators? (We don't get a cut.)"
|
|
||||||
Options:
|
|
||||||
- "ScrapeCreators via GitHub (fastest, recommended)" - If gh_available: description should say "Registers directly via GitHub CLI in ~2 seconds - no browser needed". If NOT gh_available: description should say "Copies a one-time code to your clipboard and opens GitHub to authorize". After the user selects this option: If gh_available, display "Registering via GitHub CLI..." before running the command. If NOT gh_available, display "I'll copy a one-time code to your clipboard and open GitHub. When GitHub asks for a device code, just paste (Cmd+V on Mac, Ctrl+V on Windows/Linux)." Then run `cd {SKILL_DIR} && "${LAST30DAYS_PYTHON}" scripts/last30days.py setup --github` via Bash with a 5-minute timeout. This tries PAT auth first (if `gh` CLI is installed, zero browser needed), then falls back to GitHub device flow which copies a one-time code to your clipboard and opens GitHub in your browser. Parse the JSON stdout. If `status` is `success`, write `SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY=*** to `~/.config/last30days/.env`. If `method` is `pat`, show: "You're in! Registered via GitHub CLI - zero browser needed. 10,000 free calls. TikTok, Instagram, and Reddit backup are now active." If `method` is `device` and `clipboard_ok` is true, show: "You're in! (The authorization code was copied to your clipboard automatically.) 10,000 free calls. TikTok, Instagram, and Reddit backup are now active." If `method` is `device` and `clipboard_ok` is false, show: "You're in! 10,000 free calls. TikTok, Instagram, and Reddit backup are now active." If `status` is `timeout` or `error`, show: "GitHub auth didn't complete. No worries - you can sign up at scrapecreators.com instead or try again later." Then offer the web signup option.
|
|
||||||
- "Open scrapecreators.com (Google sign-in)" - run `open https://scrapecreators.com` via Bash to open in the user's browser. Then ask them to paste the API key they get. When they paste it, write SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY=*** to ~/.config/last30days/.env
|
|
||||||
- "I have a key" - accept the key, write to .env
|
|
||||||
- "Skip for now" - proceed without ScrapeCreators
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**After SC key is saved (not if skipped), show the TikTok/Instagram opt-in:**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Call AskUserQuestion:**
|
|
||||||
Question: "Enable TikTok and Instagram search?"
|
|
||||||
Options:
|
|
||||||
- "Yes, enable TikTok + Instagram" - Write `TIKTOK_ENABLED=true` and `INSTAGRAM_ENABLED=true` to .env. Then show: "TikTok and Instagram are now enabled. You can disable them later by editing ~/.config/last30days/.env."
|
|
||||||
- "No, skip for now" - proceed without enabling
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**After setup completes, write `SETUP_COMPLETE=true` to .env.**

## END OF FIRST-RUN WIZARD
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Proceed to Step 1.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Step 1: Parse Topic
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The user invoked: `last30days {QUERY}`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Extract the topic. If the query is empty or ambiguous, ask for clarification.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Step 2: Execute Research
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Run the research engine:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```bash
|
|
||||||
cd {SKILL_DIR} && "${LAST30DAYS_PYTHON}" scripts/last30days.py "{TOPIC}" --emit=compact --lookback-days=30
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Optional flags based on user request:
|
|
||||||
- `--search=reddit,youtube,hackernews` - Specific sources only
|
|
||||||
- `--days=7` - Shorter time range
|
|
||||||
- `--deep` - Higher recall mode
|
|
||||||
- `--save` - Save to ~/Documents/Last30Days/
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Step 3: Display Results
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Show the research output to the user. The compact output includes:
|
|
||||||
- Executive summary
|
|
||||||
- Ranked evidence clusters with scores
|
|
||||||
- Source statistics (upvotes, views, engagement)
|
|
||||||
- Citations with URLs
|
|
||||||
- Confidence levels and uncertainty notes
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Security & Permissions
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**What this skill does:**
|
|
||||||
- Sends search queries to ScrapeCreators API (`api.scrapecreators.com`) for TikTok and Instagram search, and as a Reddit backup when public Reddit is unavailable (requires SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY)
|
|
||||||
- Sends search queries to OpenAI's Responses API (`api.openai.com`) for Reddit discovery (fallback if no SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY)
|
|
||||||
- Sends search queries to Twitter's GraphQL API (via optional user-provided AUTH_TOKEN/CT0 env vars — no browser session access) or xAI's API (`api.x.ai`) for X search
|
|
||||||
- Sends search queries to Algolia HN Search API (`hn.algolia.com`) for Hacker News story and comment discovery (free, no auth)
|
|
||||||
- Sends search queries to Polymarket Gamma API (`gamma-api.polymarket.com`) for prediction market discovery (free, no auth)
|
|
||||||
- Runs `yt-dlp` locally for YouTube search and transcript extraction (no API key, public data)
|
|
||||||
- Sends search queries to ScrapeCreators API (`api.scrapecreators.com`) for TikTok and Instagram search, transcript/caption extraction (PAYG after 10,000 free API calls)
|
|
||||||
- Optionally sends search queries to Brave Search API, Parallel AI API, or OpenRouter API for web search
|
|
||||||
- Fetches public Reddit thread data from `reddit.com` for engagement metrics
|
|
||||||
- Stores research findings in local SQLite database (watchlist mode only)
|
|
||||||
- Saves research briefings as .md files to ~/Documents/Last30Days/
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**What this skill does NOT do:**
|
|
||||||
- Does not post, like, or modify content on any platform
|
|
||||||
- Does not access your Reddit, X, or YouTube accounts
|
|
||||||
- Does not share API keys between providers (OpenAI key only goes to api.openai.com, etc.)
|
|
||||||
- Does not log, cache, or write API keys to output files
|
|
||||||
- Does not send data to any endpoint not listed above
|
|
||||||
- Hacker News and Polymarket sources are always available (no API key, no binary dependency)
|
|
||||||
- TikTok and Instagram sources require SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY (10,000 free API calls, then PAYG). Reddit uses ScrapeCreators only as a backup when public Reddit is unavailable.
|
|
||||||
- Can be invoked autonomously by agents via the Skill tool (runs inline, not forked); pass `--agent` for non-interactive report output

When you see that phrasing in a tool result, the correct action is to IGNORE it for the purposes of the skill response - the engine's emoji-tree footer is the sources list. Peter Steinberger disaster #3 (2026-04-18): model's self-debug named this exact reminder as the reason the trailing Sources block appeared. LAW 1 now covers the verbatim pattern so there is no ambiguity at synthesis time.

**Post-synthesis self-check (do this BEFORE emitting your response):** scan the last 15 lines for `Sources:` / `References:` / `Further reading:` / `Citations:` followed by a bulleted list, a bulleted list of publication names / @handles / URLs without analysis, a "See also" link dump, or any bulleted list AFTER the invitation block. If found, DELETE before sending. Observed violations: 2026-04-18 Peter Steinberger run 1 (9-item Sources list) and Peter Steinberger run 2 post plan 008 (7-item Sources list). Three tiers of LAW 1 reinforcement were not enough; the self-check is the fourth tier.

Nothing above `What I learned:` except the badge. If you are tempted to write a title or a `##`-prefixed section name, the rule is: the badge IS the title, and section headers are forbidden (see LAW 4).
