The skill advertises ScrapeCreators as offering "10,000 free API calls" in
six places. The actual free tier on the ScrapeCreators pricing page is
"100 credits free · No credit card required · Credits never expire" — a
100x overstatement that surprises users on signup.
Reporter (#367) burned through their full free allocation on a single
/last30days run after taking the 10,000-call claim at face value. They
verified the actual tier directly against scrapecreators.com plus an
independent review at fahimai.com.
Sweep:
- hooks/scripts/check-config.sh:110 (SessionStart hook tip line)
- README.md:228 (Sources × Cost table row)
- HERMES_SETUP.md:62 (Optional: ScrapeCreators bullet)
- skills/last30days/scripts/lib/ui.py:199 (PROMO_SINGLE_KEY["reddit"])
- skills/last30days/SKILL.md:1648 ("PAYG after 10,000 free API calls")
- skills/last30days/SKILL.md:1661 ("10,000 free API calls, then PAYG")
Wording defaults to the provider's own framing — "100 free credits" — and
keeps PAYG language where it was already explicit, since the paid step is
the part users were actually getting blindsided by.
CI gates: tests/test_plugin_contract.py (4) + tests/test_version_consistency.py (4)
all pass. shellcheck clean. No tests pin the "10,000" string.
Every job sync.sh did has a better replacement:
- Per-harness skill dirs (~/.claude/skills, ~/.codex/skills, ~/.agents/skills):
`npx skills add . -g -y` writes to every detected harness's home dir and
uses symlinks by default. Edits propagate live — no re-deploy step.
- Hermes (~/.hermes/skills/research/last30days):
`hermes skills install mvanhorn/last30days-skill --force` pulls from
GitHub and handles the deploy itself. The script wrapping was redundant.
- OpenClaw variant: `clawhub install last30days-official` is what users
already run per the README; the maintainer doesn't need a separate
variant-deploy step in the public repo's scripts.
- Claude marketplace cache (~/.claude/plugins/cache/...): this was a
"test against the official install path" hack we shouldn't have been
recommending. With PR #400's resolver collapse, STEP 0 no longer
enforces the cache as the only valid SKILL.md location. Just install
the skill normally via `npx skills` or the marketplace.
Cleanup:
- DELETE skills/last30days/scripts/sync.sh
- tests/test_version_consistency.py — drop test_sync_cache_path_uses_skill_version
- CLAUDE.md — replace the sync.sh command + rule with `npx skills add . -g -y`
- HERMES_SETUP.md — Installation now uses `hermes skills install --force`;
developer-alternative section shows the symlink pattern for live editing
- render.py — _skill_version docstring no longer attributes the
".claude-plugin absent" case to sync.sh; explains it via per-harness
install paths in general
- .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md — drop the "Ran bash scripts/sync.sh"
checklist item
CHANGELOG and historical docs (release notes, plan files) keep their
existing sync.sh mentions as accurate history.
