fix: Emphasize recency in Reddit search to find recent threads

The model was finding old threads (Nov-Dec 2025) that got filtered out,
leaving 0 results even for popular topics like "nano banana prompts".

Changes:
- Add explicit date filters: "after:{from_date}" and "2026"/"January 2026"
- Emphasize RECENT content is critical, old threads are filtered anyway
- Tell model to verify dates before including threads

Before: 0-2 Reddit threads for "nano banana prompting practices"
After: 16 Reddit threads from January 2026

-STEP 1: EXTRACT CORE KEYWORDS
-Extract the main subject. Examples:
-- "killer features of clawdbot" → search for "clawdbot"
-- "best React hooks practices" → search for "React hooks"
-Search for the CORE KEYWORD, not the full phrase.
+STEP 1: EXTRACT THE CORE SUBJECT
+Strip qualifiers and get the MAIN NOUN/PRODUCT/TOPIC:
+- "best nano banana prompting practices" → "nano banana"
+- "killer features of clawdbot" → "clawdbot"
+- "top Claude Code skills" → "Claude Code skills"
+DO NOT search for "best", "top", "tips", "practices" - just the core subject.
 
-STEP 2: SEARCH STRATEGIES (try multiple)
-1. "reddit [keyword]" - general Reddit search
-2. "reddit [keyword] discussion" - find discussions
-3. "[keyword] site:reddit.com/r/" - subreddit posts
-4. "reddit.com/r/ [keyword] comments" - thread URLs
+STEP 2: SEARCH FOR RECENT CONTENT (CRITICAL)
+You MUST search with date filters to find recent threads:
+1. "[core subject] site:reddit.com after:{from_date}"
+2. "reddit [core subject] 2026" or "reddit [core subject] January 2026"
+3. "[core subject] site:reddit.com/r/"
 
-REQUIRED: URLs must contain BOTH "/r/" AND "/comments/"
-Example valid URL: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/abc123/title/
+The goal is threads from {from_date} to {to_date}. Older threads are NOT useful.
 
-REJECT these URLs (not discussion threads):
-- developers.reddit.com (Reddit apps, not discussions)
-- business.reddit.com
-- reddit.com/user/ (user profiles)
-- Any URL missing "/comments/"
+STEP 3: VALIDATE DATES
+Before including a thread, verify its date is AFTER {from_date}.
+If you cannot determine the date, set date to null.
+EXCLUDE threads you know are older than {from_date}.
 
-DATE RANGE: {from_date} to {to_date} (last 30 days).
+REQUIRED URL FORMAT: Must contain "/r/" AND "/comments/"
+REJECT: developers.reddit.com, business.reddit.com, reddit.com/user/
 
-Find {min_items}-{max_items} discussion threads.
+Find {min_items}-{max_items} RECENT discussion threads (from last 30 days).
 
 Return JSON:
 {{

+IMPORTANT: Only return threads from the last 30 days. Old threads will be filtered out anyway."""
