Trevin Chow f3df47c381 chore: remove orphaned SPEC.md and TASKS.md
Both files lived at the repo root as pre-plugin-layout artifacts. On
current main neither is referenced from README, SKILL.md, AGENTS.md,
CHANGELOG, or docs/ — no inbound links to break by removing. Git history
preserves the content for anyone who needs to dig it up.

Closes #352, #353. The PRs by @dinakars777 correctly flagged the drift;
deletion is the cleaner resolution than annotating them as historical.

Dave Morin 863c3bc145 fix(version): replace hardcoded v3.0.0 with dynamic _skill_version()
render.py, ui.py, and last30days.py had hardcoded "v3.0.0" in titles

(reads from plugin.json at runtime) so version strings stay in sync.

2026-05-16 23:23:48 -07:00
Trevin Chow 8bab997854 chore: add greptile.json to opt into update-triggered reviews + status check
Without this config, Greptile's documented default is `triggerOnUpdates: false`
(only the initial PR open triggers a review). Empirically Greptile has been
re-reviewing on force-push to this repo anyway, but documenting the intent
makes the behavior reliable across plan changes and any future config-source
shifts on Greptile's side.

`statusCheck: true` registers Greptile as a GitHub status check (not just a
PR comment). That gives maintainer-tooling a machine-readable heartbeat -
poll `GET /repos/.../commits/SHA/check-runs` and filter by app name to see
whether Greptile is `queued` / `in_progress` / `completed`. Without it the
only signal is "did a new Greptile comment appear" which is silently
ambiguous when Greptile re-reviews and finds nothing new.

If `statusCheck` is OSS-plan-restricted Greptile silently ignores the key,
which is fine - the rolling-summary comment with `Confidence Score: N/5`
remains the fallback signal.

Refs greptileai/skills `greploop` skill for the terminal-state pattern this
config enables.

Trevin Chow 791c0a57a0 review: gate web Reddit enrichment behind EXCLUDE_SOURCES
PR #366 routes Reddit URLs found in web-search results through the public
Reddit JSON API to recover thread body + top comments (the Claude Code
WebFetch tool blocks reddit.com directly). That bypass is sound and the
fixed problem is real - but the always-on shape ignores user intent on
source gating.

A user who sets EXCLUDE_SOURCES=reddit to suppress Reddit results would
still get Reddit content smuggled back in via web-search URLs that
happen to point at reddit.com threads. This contradicts the suppression
contract that EXCLUDE_SOURCES is supposed to provide (see
lib/pipeline.available_sources where the same env var gates the
top-level Reddit source).

Add a _reddit_excluded(config) check in web_search() that mirrors the
parsing pattern from lib/pipeline (comma-separated, case-insensitive,
whitespace-tolerant). When reddit is in EXCLUDE_SOURCES, skip the
enrichment pass entirely - the web results themselves still flow
through, but they're not augmented with Reddit body/comments.

Four new tests in test_grounding_v3.py cover:
- EXCLUDE_SOURCES=reddit skips enrichment
- case-insensitive parsing matches REDDIT/Reddit/whitespace-padded/csv
- Other sources in EXCLUDE_SOURCES don't trigger the gate
- Enrichment runs normally when reddit isn't excluded

19/19 grounding tests pass.

Dave Morin 211df0deaa feat(web): auto-enrich Reddit URLs from web search via JSON API
Web search backends (Brave, Exa, Serper) can return Reddit URLs as
results. Claude Code's WebFetch blocks reddit.com, so the model can't
retrieve full thread content. After web search, detect Reddit URLs
and fetch body text + top comments via reddit.com/.json endpoint
using the skill's own HTTP library.

voidborne-d b04212680d docs: correct ScrapeCreators free tier to 100 credits (closes #367)
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.

2026-05-16 22:31:18 -07:00
Trevin Chow 68ae74ff4f docs: capture eval-not-in-CI design decision under docs/solutions/
Closes #374 (adapted, not 1:1 merged).

@hnshah opened PR #374 proposing a docs/adr/ directory for architecture
decision records. The intent is right -- the "why is search-quality eval
manual?" reasoning drifts out of memory if it isn't written down -- but
the docs/adr/ convention doesn't fit alongside the existing
docs/solutions/ structure (compound-engineering ce-compound pattern with
frontmatter metadata, additive entries, no membership-contract test).

This commit adopts hnshah's ADR 002 content (search-quality eval is
manual by default) as a docs/solutions/architecture/ entry with the
canonical compound-style frontmatter (module, problem_type, applies_when,
related_components, tags). Drops the docs/adr/ directory pattern, the
README index, and the test_adr_docs.py contract test.

ADR 001 (multi-surface packaging) is intentionally not adopted here: it
referenced sync.sh as the deploy mechanism, but sync.sh was removed in
PR #405 in favor of `npx skills add . -g -y`. The multi-surface
packaging story is still real but has moved beyond what the original
ADR captured; a fresh "how we ship to multiple harnesses" entry would
make sense as a separate doc.

Trevin Chow 27c90504c0 review: validate SSH host alias + rename LAST30DAYS_YT_SSH_HOST -> LAST30DAYS_YOUTUBE_SSH_HOST
Addresses two concerns surfaced during PR #376 review:

1. **SSH option-injection on the host value.** The original PR uses
   shlex.quote() on the remote command and added a `--` option terminator
   in front of the host, but neither one stops a hostile env var like
   `LAST30DAYS_YT_SSH_HOST=-oProxyCommand=...` from being read in the
   first place. Tighten `_ytdlp_ssh_host()` to validate the host against
   `^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+$` (plain hostname/SSH-config-alias shape: letters,
   digits, dot, underscore, hyphen). Any value that doesn't match logs a
   warning to stderr and returns None, so the wrap function falls back to
   local execution. The `--` terminator stays as defense-in-depth for the
   case where a valid host happens to start with `-`, but the regex closes
   the door on the env var reaching ssh at all.

2. **Env var naming consistency.** Existing skill-internal config knobs
   spell out their domain: `LAST30DAYS_X_BACKEND`, `LAST30DAYS_X_MODEL`,
   `LAST30DAYS_PLANNER_MODEL`, `LAST30DAYS_RERANK_MODEL`, etc. The module
   is `youtube_yt.py`, the source key is `youtube`, the function family
   is `is_youtube_*()` — `YT` was the odd abbreviation out. Rename to
   `LAST30DAYS_YOUTUBE_SSH_HOST` so the variable matches the user mental
   model ("route YouTube fetches via residential IP") and the codebase's
   spelled-out convention.

Adds three new tests:
- test_host_alias_with_dash_prefix_is_rejected (validator rejects `-o...`)
- test_host_alias_with_shell_metacharacters_is_rejected (rejects spaces, ;, $, `, &)
- test_host_alias_validator_accepts_realistic_aliases (allows FQDNs, IPs, bare aliases)

The existing test_wrap_cmd_uses_option_terminator is rewritten to use a
valid host value (since an invalid one is now filtered upstream) and
continues to assert the `--` terminator placement as defense-in-depth.

44/44 youtube_yt tests pass (40 prior + 4 net new validator tests).

shoobee f4eb0af104 fix(youtube): address Greptile review feedback
Three changes from automated review on PR #376:

1. Add `--` option terminator before host in _wrap_ytdlp_cmd (P1 security)
   Prevents SSH option injection if LAST30DAYS_YT_SSH_HOST were ever set
   to a value starting with `-` (e.g. `-oProxyCommand=...`). Low
   exploitability since the env var is user-controlled config — but the
   fix is a single arg and turns a self-harm footgun into no footgun.

2. Hoist `import shlex` to module-level (P2 style)
   Pure stdlib import, no reason for the deferred form. Cleaner.

3. Cache _ytdlp_ssh_host() result in fetch_transcript (P2 style)
   Was being called 2-3x per video; the function is cheap (env lookup
   + strip) so this is purely about readability.

Adds test_wrap_cmd_uses_option_terminator covering the security fix
explicitly with a `-oFoo=bar` host value. Updates index assertions in
the two existing tests that check command shape (host is now at index
4, command string at 5, with `--` at 3).

shoobee 79b5d049ce feat(youtube): route yt-dlp through SSH host for residential IP egress
Adds LAST30DAYS_YT_SSH_HOST env var (or `~/.config/last30days/.env` key).
When set, yt-dlp YouTube search invocations are wrapped as
`ssh <host> "yt-dlp ..."` so they run on a residential-IP machine.

Motivation: when last30days runs on a datacenter VPS (Hetzner,
DigitalOcean, AWS, etc.), `ytsearch:` queries return 0 results because
YouTube's bot-wall fingerprints datacenter IP ranges before any cookie
check runs. Cookies alone don't fix this — the IP reputation is checked
first. Verified across yt-dlp stable 2026.03.17 and nightly builds.

The existing fallbacks (browser cookies, residential proxy services,
excluding YouTube) all have downsides: cookies expire, proxies cost
money, exclusion loses signal. Many users with a Mac mini, Pi, or
home server can host yt-dlp on their own residential IP — this just
needs an SSH alias and a one-line env var to wire it up.

Behaviour:
- Default (env var unset): identical to before, no shape change.
- Env var set: search command list is wrapped with `ssh -o BatchMode=yes
  <host> "<shell-quoted yt-dlp invocation>"`. is_ytdlp_installed()
  returns True without a local PATH check (the binary lives on the
  remote host).
- Transcript path: when SSH-routing is on, skips the yt-dlp transcript
  path (which writes a VTT file we couldn't easily read back over SSH)
  and uses the existing _fetch_transcript_direct HTTP fallback. The
  timedtext API isn't bot-walled, so this works fine on datacenter IPs.

Setup pitfall documented in the function docstring: on macOS hosts
with Homebrew, `eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv zsh)"` must
live in ~/.zshenv (not just ~/.zprofile) — non-login SSH shells don't
source .zprofile, so without this `ssh macmini "yt-dlp ..."` returns
"command not found" while interactive SSH works fine.

Tests: 10 new cases covering env var read, whitespace stripping,
empty-value handling, command wrapping passthrough/active modes,
shlex quoting, is_ytdlp_installed short-circuit, and end-to-end
search_youtube wrapping. Full test suite: 0 new failures (the 14
pre-existing failures in test_store, test_watchlist, test_setup_openclaw,
test_safari_cookies, test_version_consistency are unchanged on main).

Verified live: 0 results → 4 real hits for "claude code" search from a
Hetzner VPS routed through a Mac mini exit node on Tailscale.

Trevin Chow 5d4f9ef2c5 fix(store): use UTC for all date arithmetic against SQLite columns
Greptile flagged that _cli_query's --since parsing uses datetime.now()
(local time) while first_seen is stored via SQLite's datetime('now') (UTC).
The same bug exists in three other call sites that compare against either
first_seen or run_date (both UTC):

- get_daily_cost: "today" defaults to local date, returns wrong day's cost
  near UTC midnight
- get_stats: "7 days ago" cutoff for runs_7d / successful_7d
- get_trending: "N days ago" cutoff for finding activity ranking
- _cli_query: "N days ago" cutoff for --since flag (Greptile's flag)

All four now use datetime.now(timezone.utc). Same root cause and same fix
as the test_get_new_findings_filters_by_date repair in the previous commit.

The Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite preview model is being discontinued on

architecture is identical and only the model identifier needs to
be updated from `gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview` to
`gemini-3.1-flash-lite`.

Also relaxes the `_require_gemini_31_preview` guard to accept any
`gemini-3.1-*` identifier (renamed to `_require_gemini_31`), so the
GA name and the still-preview `gemini-3.1-pro-preview` both pass.

Trevin Chow eb2d7a0f37 fix(ci): run full pytest suite, repair 13 rotted tests
CI was running only test_plugin_contract.py and test_version_consistency.py
(2 of 84 test files), masking 13 rotted tests across 4 clusters. The suite is
fully offline-safe (1402 tests in ~7s without network), so the narrow scope
wasn't gating integration flakiness; it was just stale. validate.yml now runs
`uv run pytest` against the full suite.

Engine fix: store.findings_from_report is rerank-first. ranked_candidates is
the primary persistence path; hackernews/polymarket are unconditionally
supplemented from items_by_source because they rank poorly but matter for
watchlists. When ranked_candidates was empty (rerank failed or skipped),
reddit, x, and every other source were silently dropped. The supplement loop
now falls back to all sources only when ranked_candidates is empty; the normal
path is unchanged.

Test repairs:
- test_store.py (6) + test_watchlist_commands.py (2): cascade from the engine fix
- test_get_new_findings_filters_by_date (latent): local-time vs SQLite UTC
  flake — switched to datetime.now(timezone.utc)
- TestPollDeviceAuth (3): mock_time.time side_effect lists too short after
  impl added a last_reminder call — padded timeout test, pinned others to
  return_value=0 (loops terminate via urlopen, not the clock)
- test_bare_run_emits_web_promo: engine reads ~/.config/last30days/.env, so
  a contributor's saved EXA/PARALLEL key made grounding "available" and
  suppressed the web promo. Also missing X made the "x" promo preempt "web".
  Set LAST30DAYS_CONFIG_DIR="", subprocess cwd=tmpdir, XAI_API_KEY stub.

Trevin Chow 719cdef2fb fix(http): contain DNS retry-budget widening to DNS path only
PR #382 introduced an `effective_retries` widening on the first gaierror,
but the widening leaked: every non-DNS error path (HTTPError, non-DNS
URLError, OSError) was gated on `effective_retries - 1` and so inherited
the expanded bound. A caller passing `retries=2` who hit DNS-then-non-DNS
got 3 attempts instead of 2 — contrary to the PR description and the
fail-fast intent of small retry budgets.

Fix:
- Gate every non-DNS sleep/retry decision on the caller's original
  `retries`, not the widened `effective_retries`.
- Add an explicit `break` in each non-DNS branch when the original
  budget is exhausted, so the (possibly widened) outer loop bound
  can't pull us into an extra attempt.

Adds two regression tests covering the DNS-then-non-DNS-URLError and
DNS-then-OSError sequences flagged in Greptile review on PR #382.

Gabriel Arrillaga 5a2fe5279b fix(http): expand retry budget + use exponential backoff on DNS failure
Transient DNS resolution failures (socket.gaierror, surfaced as
urllib.error.URLError with reason=gaierror) were retried with the
generic URLError handler — linear backoff (2s, 4s, 6s) and bounded by
the caller-passed `retries` parameter. For callers that pass small
retry values (e.g. lib/reddit.py::_subreddit_search uses retries=2), a
single first-attempt DNS hiccup followed by one quick retry on the
still-flaky resolver would exhaust the retry budget and wipe a whole
subreddit sweep — which the caller's broad `except Exception` then
silent-empties as `[]`.

Fix:
- Distinguish URLError-with-gaierror-reason from generic URLError via
  a new `_is_dns_failure()` helper.
- For DNS failures, use exponential backoff (1s, 2s, 4s, ...) instead
  of the linear default.
- For DNS failures, expand the effective retry budget to at least
  MIN_DNS_RETRIES (=3) on first occurrence, so callers that passed
  `retries=2` still get a meaningful retry budget for the transient
  case. Non-DNS URLErrors and HTTPErrors keep the caller's value.
- DNS attempts are counted separately (`dns_attempts`) so unrelated
  URLError or OSError failures within the same call don't accidentally
  expand the budget further.

Reported during a community-signal pass where the Reddit subreddit
sweep silently returned zero items after a first-round transient DNS
hiccup. The fix lives at the http layer (where the retry loop is)
rather than per-source so every caller benefits.

Tests:
- Verifies a caller-passed retries=2 still gets MIN_DNS_RETRIES=3
  attempts on gaierror.
- Verifies gaierror-then-success returns successfully on attempt 2.
- Verifies the exponential-backoff sleep pattern (1s, 2s) on the
  retry attempts before exhaustion.
- Verifies a non-DNS URLError (ConnectionRefusedError reason) does
  NOT expand the retry budget — only true DNS failures do.

All 12 http tests pass (8 baseline + 4 new). No regressions in the
broader test suite (1373 pass / 14 fail, vs 1369 pass / 14 fail on
main — the 14 failures are pre-existing and unrelated to this PR).

Gabriel Arrillaga a717dd2b2c fix(bird_x): retry subprocess on non-JSON stdout (HTML interstitial)
Twitter's edge intermittently serves an HTML anti-bot interstitial in
place of JSON when the bird-search subprocess hits a per-query rate
limit. Before this fix, that response made json.loads raise
JSONDecodeError and _run_bird_search() returned {"error": ..., "items":
[]} with the parsed exception message — silent-empty against an
orchestrator that has no way to distinguish "Twitter served HTML; retry
likely succeeds" from "no tweets matched the query."

Surfaced during a community-signal pass where a Karpathy-LLM-wiki
subquery returned zero X items, while a second identical run a few
seconds later returned full results.

Fix:
- Extract the subprocess invocation into _invoke_bird_subprocess() so
  the retry loop can call it multiple times cleanly. Returns
  (result, terminal_error) — terminal_error is non-None for
  unrecoverable cases (subprocess timeout, spawn failure) that should
  NOT be retried.
- In _run_bird_search(), wrap the json.loads parse in a retry loop
  bounded by MAX_JSON_DECODE_RETRIES (=2) with JSON_DECODE_RETRY_DELAY
  (=5s) between attempts.
- On non-JSON stdout, log a diagnostic that names the shape
  (`looks_html`, first-80-chars stdout preview, attempt counter) so
  silent-empty failures become legible in logs.
- On retry exhaustion, return an error dict whose message explicitly
  names "anti-bot interstitial" as the likely cause, distinguishing
  this failure from a genuine no-results case.

Subprocess timeout, spawn failure, and non-zero return-code paths are
unchanged — those are terminal and don't retry.

Tests:
- Verifies HTML-then-JSON returns success on attempt 2.
- Verifies all-HTML returns the diagnostic error dict mentioning the
  anti-bot interstitial cause.
- Verifies subprocess timeout is NOT retried.

All 12 bird_x tests pass (9 baseline + 3 new).

Two related drifts surfaced while reviewing PR #399 (EXCLUDE_SOURCES) —
docs claimed several SC-backed sources required INCLUDE_SOURCES opt-in
that the code didn't actually enforce, and threads was inconsistently
gated relative to its same-key siblings.

This commit picks the "code as source of truth + EXCLUDE_SOURCES as
suppression knob" model and aligns docs to match. It also promotes
threads to the same auto-on tier as tiktok and instagram, since all
three share the SC key and per-call cost shape — there was no real
product reason for threads being opt-in while the other two weren't.

The resulting source-gating model is three-tier and intentional:

  • **Auto-on if backing infra present** (suppress via EXCLUDE_SOURCES):
    reddit, HN, polymarket, X, youtube, github, bluesky, truthsocial,
    grounding, **tiktok, instagram, threads**

  • **INCLUDE_SOURCES persistent opt-in** (cost/billing reasons):
    perplexity (different paid API — OpenRouter),
    tiktok_comments / youtube_comments (N× extra SC calls per video)

  • **--search per-query opt-in** (relevance reasons):
    pinterest (visual pins, narrow utility),
    xiaohongshu (Chinese-market specific)

Changes:

- env.py: `is_threads_available()` drops the INCLUDE_SOURCES check,
  now mirrors tiktok/instagram (SC key → True). Docstring updated.
- tests/test_env_v3.py: new `ThreadsAvailabilityTests` class locks in
  the new contract and includes a regression guard ("INCLUDE_SOURCES
  should not be needed").
- SKILL.md: lines 333-338 rewritten so the model's "Build
  ACTIVE_SOURCES_LIST" checklist reflects what the engine actually
  runs. Drops false INCLUDE_SOURCES requirement for
  tiktok/instagram/threads; corrects pinterest to mention --search;
  adds missing INCLUDE_SOURCES=perplexity requirement.
- README: same alignment for the user-facing "Everything else in v3"
  section.

Note on EXCLUDE_SOURCES references in the new docs: the suppression
flag is wired up in PR #399. SKILL.md and README mention EXCLUDE_SOURCES
as the opt-out path; that prose is forward-looking until #399 lands.
The behavior changes in this PR (threads auto-on) are self-contained
and don't require #399 to function — but for users who want to suppress
the newly-auto-on threads source, #399 needs to land first.

Brad Ferguson edea402b7c fix(sources): unblock SC YouTube + multi-token HN searches
Two related fixes that surface when running last30days with multi-keyword
themed queries (e.g. "claude, personal agents, agentic infra"). Both bugs
caused entire sources to silently return zero items.

YouTube (ScrapeCreators)
  SC's /v1/youtube/search rejects ?keyword= with HTTP 400:
    {"error":"missing_parameter","message":"You must provide a query"}
  The canonical SC parameter for that endpoint is `query`. Other SC
  endpoints we use (Reddit, TikTok, Instagram) happened to work because
  they use their own per-endpoint parameter names — YouTube was the lone
  outlier.

Hacker News (Algolia)
  Multi-keyword theme queries returned zero hits across every theme.
  Algolia treats query= as strict AND across tokens, so a 4-5 word query
  like "claude, personal agents, agentic infra" matches no stories.

  Three changes in hackernews.py:

  1. Hoist comma/hyphen flattening into _flatten_query_for_algolia() so
     search_hackernews and _title_matches_query normalize the query the
     same way — addresses Greptile P2 #2 about the two callsites needing
     to stay in sync.
  2. Pass `optionalWords` for all-but-the-first token so Algolia ranks
     by token-overlap instead of requiring every token.
  3. Relax _title_matches_query from all-words to any-word, *but match
     on word boundaries (\b<word>\b) rather than naive substring* —
     addresses Greptile P2 #1, which flagged that the previous any-word
     relaxation would let "ai" falsely match "email" or "rail".

  Token-overlap relevance scoring at parse time already demotes weak
  matches, so word-boundary any-word matching is safe.

Tests: added coverage for no-token-in-title rejection, word-boundary vs
substring, and hyphen/comma flattening alignment between the search
parameter and the post-filter.

Trevin Chow 4d4ac97ffb refactor: hoist comparison-html gate into a single condition (Greptile DRY)
Greptile flagged that `entity_reports and args.emit == "html"` appeared in
two places — once when computing the footer display path, again when calling
save_output. The else-branches differ between the two callsites (the display
needs `report.topic` as fallback; the save call needs `None` so save_output
falls back to the report's own topic), so collapsing into one shared
expression would be wrong, but hoisting just the condition into a single
`is_comparison_html` bool eliminates the risk of drift while keeping the
two callsites' fallback semantics distinct.

Trevin Chow 306d8c2d73 fix(env): wire EXCLUDE_SOURCES through get_config + SKILL.md integration
The original PR added EXCLUDE_SOURCES filtering to pipeline.available_sources()
and to the check-config.sh banner, but env.py::get_config() builds its config
dict from a hardcoded keys list that didn't include EXCLUDE_SOURCES. The
result: setting EXCLUDE_SOURCES in the environment silently no-op'd through
the Python pipeline. Only the bash hook (which reads shell env directly)
worked. The PR's unit tests didn't catch this because they construct config
dicts directly, bypassing get_config().

Changes:
- Add ('EXCLUDE_SOURCES', '') to env.py's keys list so the env var actually
  propagates into config.
- Add an end-to-end regression test that goes through get_config() rather
  than constructing config dicts directly.
- Document EXCLUDE_SOURCES in SKILL.md's source-list checklist so the model
  invoking the skill knows to subtract excluded sources before displaying
  the active-sources line. (Per AGENTS.md: engine flags without SKILL.md
  prose are incomplete — the agent invoking the skill won't know the flag
  exists.)

Trevin Chow d0dcf751f1 fix(keychain): single source of truth for key list + robust USER fallback
Addresses Greptile review on PR #407:

- P1: setup-keychain.sh ALL_KEYS was missing GOOGLE_GENAI_API_KEY and
  XIAOHONGSHU_API_BASE relative to _load_keychain's inline list, so users
  manually storing those keys would not see them in --list and the
  interactive prompt would never offer to set them.

  Hoist the canonical key list into lib/env.py::KEYCHAIN_KEYS, have
  get_config() pass it through, and add a parity test that parses
  ALL_KEYS out of setup-keychain.sh and asserts equality. Drift is now
  caught at CI time instead of after a user reports a missing key.

- P2: os.environ.get("USER", "") silently returned "" under sudo, in
  Docker without --env USER, or in CI runners that strip USER. The
  resulting `security find-generic-password -a ""` call would never
  match items stored by setup-keychain.sh, so all lookups silently
  returned nothing. Fall back to pwd.getpwuid(os.getuid()).pw_name when
  USER is absent.

The P2 process-listing comment ("secret visible briefly via ps because
security has no stdin path for -w") has no clean fix — the README
already documents the manual `security add-generic-password` invocation
as an alternative for users with strict secret hygiene.

Trevin Chow 0fd532d249 docs: compound learning on release-time consistency-test cascade failures
Documents the cascade pattern surfaced during this session's install-modernization
arc: a `test_sync_cache_path_uses_skill_version` test asserted that a hardcoded
version pin in `sync.sh` matched the version frontmatter in SKILL.md. When a
release bumped SKILL.md, every open PR's CI failed simultaneously on the
unrelated stale-pin assertion. Affected at least 5 PRs across the 2026-05-13
to 2026-05-15 window (#400, #390, #392, and two others) plus required hotfix
PR #397 to unblock the queue.

The permanent fix shipped in PR #405 (deleted sync.sh + the test). This doc
captures the design lesson so the pattern doesn't reappear: don't write
consistency tests that read two files and assert one matches a value derived
from the other. Either derive at runtime from a single source of truth, or
self-skip / merge-base-scope the test so deletion is a non-event.

Created via /ce-compound. Includes:

- docs/solutions/workflow-issues/release-consistency-test-cascade-2026-05-16.md
  (the new learning — first entry under docs/solutions/)
- CONCEPTS.md (new — 4 entries: Skill, Engine, Harness, Beta channel,
  capturing project-specific vocabulary that surfaced across the session)
- AGENTS.md (added one-line Structure entries surfacing docs/solutions/ and
  CONCEPTS.md so fresh agents discover them)
- docs/plans/2026-04-22-{002,003,005,006}-*-plan.md (added deprecation banner
  to each, pointing readers at PR #405 and the new docs/solutions entry —
  these 4 historical plans still reference the deleted sync.sh inline)

Also: closed PR #379 (j-sperling's workaround for the same cascade,
superseded by PR #405's permanent fix).

Trevin Chow 73dc6b9996 refactor: consolidate SKILL.md version regex into lib/skill_meta.py
The same `^version:\s*"([^"]+)"\s*$` regex (or a slight variant) was
duplicated across three files: render.py inline, test_plugin_contract.py
local helper, test_version_consistency.py local helper. A future change
to the SKILL.md frontmatter version format would have needed to update
three places without any compile-time pressure to keep them in sync.

New skills/last30days/scripts/lib/skill_meta.py provides:
- `_VERSION_RE` private compiled pattern (accepts double-quoted,
  single-quoted, or unquoted YAML version scalars per the widening
  landed in 997708a)
- `read_skill_version(skill_md_path: Path) -> str | None` helper that
  catches OSError + UnicodeDecodeError and returns None on miss

Callers updated:
- render.py::_skill_version now calls skill_meta.read_skill_version
  inside the SKILL.md fallback loop, returning `read_skill_version(...) or "?"`.
  Semantically equivalent to the old break-after-first-SKILL.md logic.
- test_plugin_contract.py and test_version_consistency.py import the
  helper instead of defining the regex inline. Both files use the
  established sys.path.insert pattern.

Added tests/test_skill_meta.py with 6 direct unit tests covering the
helper's full contract: missing file, undecodable bytes, no-version-line,
and all three quoting styles (double, single, unquoted). Previously the
helper was only exercised transitively through render._skill_version().

Added test_skill_md_uses_double_quoted_version to
test_version_consistency.py — the old per-test regex incidentally
asserted "this repo's SKILL.md uses double-quotes" by being strict;
the shared helper accepts all three styles, so the assertion is now
explicit instead of implicit.

Code-reviewed by ce-code-review (8 reviewers); safe_auto fixes applied
inline (rename to _VERSION_RE, group or-chain instead of generator,
docstring tightened, dropped unnecessary `from __future__ import
annotations`, tightened signature to Path-only).

Conftest.py refactor for the sys.path.insert duplication across ~20 test
files filed as issue #411 — out of scope for this PR (touches many
files, separate concern).

Test results: 23 passed in the affected test set (16 prior + 6 new
test_skill_meta tests + 1 new double-quote assertion). Full suite shows
same 13 pre-existing failures as main; zero new failures.

Trevin Chow 1fd763e09f docs: flip CLAUDE.md ↔ AGENTS.md — AGENTS.md becomes canonical, CLAUDE.md points at it
Mirrors the multi-harness reframing of the project itself. CLAUDE.md is
Claude-Code-specific by name; AGENTS.md is the multi-harness convention
that Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, and most other Agent
Skills hosts also read. The canonical content belongs in the file
multi-harness tooling expects.

git mv preserves history — the Orientation section and everything else
that was in CLAUDE.md is now tracked under AGENTS.md, with full blame
continuity. The new CLAUDE.md is a one-line `@AGENTS.md` reference so
Claude Code continues to load the content (it follows @ references).
2026-05-16 17:03:11 -07:00
Trevin Chow e0f6ef845a docs(claude.md): add Orientation section, reframe as multi-harness Agent Skills package
Closes the spirit of #335 (closed in favor of this fresh PR after the
sync.sh thread became obsolete via PR #405).

Two changes:

1. Top-of-file description reframed from "Claude Code skill" to
   "Agent Skills package... installable across Claude Code (most common
   host), Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and 50+ other
   Agent Skills hosts". The skill works across every major agent host
   after the install-modernization work in PR #400/#404/#405/#409.
   Calling it "Claude Code skill" undersells the surface and biases
   contributors toward Claude-Code-specific assumptions.

2. New ## Orientation section (4 bullets) framing the project for
   contributors who would otherwise read the python3 invocation in
   ## Commands and form a CLI-first mental model. Names the trap
   explicitly with one concrete invalid-syntax example
   (`/last30days OpenClaw --emit=html | pbcopy` — slash commands don't
   pass shell mechanics through). Bullets adapted from #335 with
   multi-harness framing replacing the Claude-Code-only framing.

No code changes. No SKILL.md changes. CLAUDE.md only. AGENTS.md
inherits via @CLAUDE.md.

Trevin Chow c918e18465 Merge pull request #409 from tmchow/refactor/skill-dir-relative-resolver
refactor(skill): replace SKILL_ROOT resolver with SKILL_DIR substitution
2026-05-16 16:55:32 -07:00
Trevin Chow 6fe0aca7ee refactor(skill): replace SKILL_ROOT resolver with SKILL_DIR substitution
The Step 1 and comparison-mode resolver loops walked a hardcoded list
of install paths trying to find scripts/last30days.py. Two problems:

1. The list was never exhaustive — it covered ~/.codex/skills, but not
   ~/.claude/skills, ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.copilot/skills,
   ~/.hermes/skills/research, etc. PR #406 was about to fix that by
   enumerating more paths, but enumeration is the wrong shape.
2. The resolver could pick a different install than the SKILL.md the
   model loaded from. Spec-vs-engine divergence is subtle and confusing
   when it triggers.

The model already knows the SKILL.md path it loaded (from its Read tool
result). Templating that into the bash block is strictly better than
guessing across an enumerated list:

- Works for every harness without enumeration (Hermes, Cursor, anything
  new) because we just use wherever the harness loaded SKILL.md from
- Aligns spec with engine — the engine runs from the same install the
  spec was read from
- Deletes ~80 lines of bash across Step 1 + comparison-mode + the
  prose preamble describing the resolver

Mechanics:

- SKILL_DIR placeholder in both bash blocks — model substitutes the
  absolute path of the directory containing the SKILL.md it just Read
- One-line validation `[ ! -f "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/last30days.py" ]`
  catches bad templating with a clear error
- All references to $SKILL_ROOT replaced with $SKILL_DIR (badge
  VERSION lookup, prose description in the LAW-7 preamble area)
- STEP 0 unchanged — different concern (marketplaces stale-clone hop)

Version 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4 (behavior change: install paths the resolver
list never enumerated now work; install paths it did enumerate work
the same way they used to but via the SKILL_DIR template).

Damien Stevens 74a387b093 feat(env): macOS Keychain credential source
Adds the macOS Keychain as the lowest-priority credential source on Darwin.
Items stored as generic passwords with service name "last30days-<KEY>" for
the current user are picked up automatically by get_config() — file env
and process env still win on collision.

No new config knob: behavior is strictly additive. On non-Darwin (or when
the `security` binary is missing) the loader is a no-op, so Linux/Windows
behavior is unchanged.

  Priority (highest wins):
    1. Environment variables
    2. .claude/last30days.env (per-project)
    3. ~/.config/last30days/.env (global)
    4. macOS Keychain items prefixed last30days- (new)

Includes:
  - lib/env.py: KEYCHAIN_SERVICE_PREFIX constant, _load_keychain helper
    (platform-gated, shutil.which-gated, subprocess-error tolerant),
    wiring into get_config before get_openai_auth so OPENAI_API_KEY can
    come from Keychain too, _CONFIG_SOURCE reports "keychain" when no
    file source is present.
  - scripts/setup-keychain.sh: bash helper with interactive set,
    --list, --delete, --replace modes. Uses `security add-generic-password`.
  - tests/test_env_keychain.py: 12 tests covering platform gate,
    missing-binary gate, success path, whitespace stripping, subprocess
    errors swallowed, get_config precedence, and an OPENAI_AUTH wiring
    regression test.
  - tests/test_env_cookies.py: existing integration test mocks the new
    _load_keychain hook so it stays hermetic on Darwin developer
    machines that have real keychain entries.
  - README.md: new "macOS Keychain (optional)" subsection under
    "Bring your own keys" documenting setup-keychain.sh and the manual
    `security add-generic-password` invocation.

Tested on macOS with a populated keychain and against the existing pytest
suite — CI-tracked tests (test_plugin_contract.py, test_version_consistency.py)
plus all env-touching tests pass. Pre-existing unrelated failures in
test_store.py / test_watchlist_commands.py / test_setup_openclaw.py /
test_footer_nudge_suppression.py are untouched.

docs+refactor: modernize install story everywhere, delete sync.sh
2026-05-15 23:46:57 -07:00
Trevin Chow 9fb19eae63 refactor: delete sync.sh, dev workflow moves to npx skills add . -g -y + native installers
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.

Trevin Chow d1cc29d338 docs(readme): add -g (global) flag to every npx skills example
`npx skills add` defaults to project-local install (`./.skills/`,
committed with the repo). For a research-the-world skill like this one,
that's almost never what users want — they want it available across all
projects, not scoped to whichever directory they happened to run the
install from.

Adding `-g` (global) to every npx skills example in the README:
- Top-of-file install snippet
- Install table row
- Claude Code subsection's "alternative via npx skills" example
- Codex/Cursor/etc. subsection's default, per-harness, update, list,
  and remove commands

Brief one-liner explains what `-g` does and notes that dropping it
gives a project-local install for users who want team consistency on
a specific codebase.

Tobi 095bcae915 fix(check-config): normalize EXCLUDE_SOURCES (lowercase + whitespace) before matching
The bash banner accounting used raw substring matching while
pipeline.py normalises EXCLUDE_SOURCES via .strip().lower(). With
EXCLUDE_SOURCES=TikTok,Instagram (or with surrounding spaces),
pipeline correctly excludes the sources but the banner did not
deduct them — count showed 1-2 higher than what the pipeline
actually runs. Normalisation now mirrors the Python side
(lowercase, collapse whitespace around commas, strip outer whitespace).

Reproducer (clean HOME with config EXCLUDE_SOURCES=TikTok,Instagram):
  before: /last30days: Ready — 7 sources active.
  after:  /last30days: Ready — 5 sources active.

Trevin Chow ded52062e6 docs(readme): drop Gemini CLI native-extension install path
The native `gemini extensions install` path was a workaround for the
v0.9.0 installer bug (still unresolved per upstream issue #11452).
Now that `npx skills add -a gemini-cli` covers Gemini cleanly with the
same install/update story as every other supported harness, the native
path is just one more confusing option to maintain. Users on Gemini get
the same recommendation everyone else does.

Removes the dedicated "Gemini CLI (native extension)" subsection and
the separate table row. Gemini CLI is now surfaced once, in the npx
skills section, alongside Codex, Cursor, Copilot, and the rest.

github-copilot, windsurf, cline, continue, roo, aider-desk, opencode,
goose, and more — not just the few I'd listed initially. Updating to
reflect that breadth.

- Top-of-file snippet now reads "Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, or
  any of 50+ Agent Skills hosts" (was: "Codex, Cursor, Copilot, or any
  Agent Skills host" + Gemini listed separately in the table footer).
- Install table: same expansion; Gemini CLI native-extension row relabeled
  to clarify it's the native path (not the only Gemini option).
- npx skills subsection: lists the most common harness flags and links
  to the upstream vercel-labs/skills repo for the full list.
- Gemini CLI native subsection: now leads with "the npx skills path
  above is simpler" and frames the native install as the alternative
  for users with an existing Gemini extensions workflow or who hit
  the v0.9.0 installer bug.

Trevin Chow f1ce7533e6 docs(readme): recommend Claude Code plugin, add npx skills install for Codex/Cursor/Copilot
The skill is now installable across every major agent harness after the
SKILL.md path-resolver work landed in PR #400 + #404. README didn't yet
reflect that — the install table only listed Claude Code, OpenClaw, and
Gemini CLI, and the top-of-file install snippets featured Hermes (an
internal dev workflow, not a public install method).

Restructured the install section:

- Top-of-file snippets: just Claude Code (recommended, auto-updates) and
  the universal `npx skills add` one-liner. Dropped Hermes from the
  prominent spot (internal-only); pointed everything else to the Install
  section below.
- Install table: added a third column for update commands, since every
  harness now has a distinct update path worth surfacing. Added the
  `npx skills` row covering Codex/Cursor/Copilot/any Agent Skills host.
- Claude Code subsection: explains why it's recommended (marketplace
  handles versioned cache + auto-refresh) and notes that the agent-skills
  install also works on Claude Code if preferred (`-a claude-code`).
- New "Codex, Cursor, Copilot, and other Agent Skills hosts" subsection:
  shows the default install, per-harness `-a` targeting, and the update
  commands (`npx skills update last30days` for one skill, bare
  `npx skills update` for all).
- Manual (developer) subsection: switched from a clone-into-skills-dir
  recipe to a clone + symlink recipe. Symlink keeps the install in sync
  with the working tree as you edit, no re-copy on each change.

No code changes. No version bump (docs-only).

Trevin Chow 0b939bf703 Merge pull request #404 from tmchow/fix/json-plan-shell-quoting
fix(skill): write --plan / --competitors-plan to tmpfile (closes #403)
2026-05-15 22:52:49 -07:00
Trevin Chow 9f95efb215 fix(skill): use portable trailing-XXXXXX mktemp form for plan tmpfiles
Greptile's review flagged mktemp -t as non-portable between BSD and GNU.
The suggested replacement (mktemp "$TMPDIR/...XXXXXX.json") is correct
about dropping -t but still puts X's in the middle of the template name
(XXXXXX.json), which BSD mktemp does not substitute — only X's at the
end of the basename are replaced on BSD. Verified on macOS:

  mktemp "$TMPDIR/last30days-test.XXXXXX.json"
  → /var/folders/.../last30days-test.XXXXXX.json  (X's left literal)

The fully portable form uses trailing X's and drops the .json suffix
(engine reads by path, not extension):

  mktemp "$TMPDIR/last30days-test.XXXXXX"
  → /var/folders/.../last30days-test.DXAHzR     (X's substituted)

Verified on bash and zsh, BSD/macOS. GNU/Linux is already fine since
GNU substitutes X's wherever they appear in the basename.

Applied to both --competitors-plan (comparison-mode block) and --plan
(Step 1 block) tmpfile writes.

Trevin Chow ff54c07a3b fix(skill): write --plan / --competitors-plan to tmpfile, bump 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3
Closes #403.

The SKILL.md templates instructed the model to invoke the engine with
inline single-quoted JSON: `--plan '$JSON'` and `--competitors-plan '{...}'`.
When any resolved field value contained an apostrophe (common in `context`
strings like "McDonald's", "people's choice", or contracted forms like
"don't", "won't"), the inner `'` closed the outer single-quote and broke
shell parsing before the engine was even invoked.

Observed during PR #400 testing: a Codex run hit the trap and self-healed
by re-encoding, wasting one engine invocation and ~30s of latency.

Fix: switch both templates to the heredoc + tmpfile pattern. The engine's
`parse_plan()` and `parse_competitors_plan()` already check
`os.path.isfile(plan_str)` and read from disk — only the SKILL.md prose
needed to change.

The quoted heredoc marker (<<'PLAN_EOF') is load-bearing: it suppresses
shell interpolation so apostrophes, $, backticks, etc. pass through verbatim.
A trap on EXIT cleans up the tmpfile after the engine call returns.

LAW 7's "MUST contain --plan" self-check guidance and Step 1's invocation
example both updated to reference the file form. Comparison-mode invocation
block updated the same way for --competitors-plan.

Version bump 3.2.2 -> 3.2.3 because this is a behavior change users
running comparison-mode queries will notice (no more "shell quoting error,
retrying" sequences on apostrophe-containing context strings).

Trevin Chow 2f277dfc66 fix(skill): address greptile P1+P2 review feedback on PR #400
Two real bugs flagged in the automated review of PR #400; both small.

1. render.py::_skill_version manifest with no "version" key

   `json.loads(manifest.read_text()).get("version", "?")` returned "?"
   immediately on a valid JSON manifest that lacked the "version" key,
   never falling through to the SKILL.md frontmatter fallback. Contradicted
   the docstring's "Returns '?' only if both sources are missing" contract.
   Same shape if version is present but empty string ("" produces the
   broken badge `🌐 last30days v · synced ...`).

   Fix: pull the version out of the parsed dict, then `continue` to the
   next ancestor if it's None or empty. Falls through to the SKILL.md
   walk only after exhausting every ancestor.

2. SKILL.md STEP 0 re-read target hardcoded to nested cache layout

   STEP 0 told the model to re-read from
   `$CLAUDE_CACHE_LATEST/skills/last30days/SKILL.md` — the new nested
   layout. But Step 1's resolver explicitly handles both shapes
   (nested `{cache}/{version}/skills/last30days/` and flat
   `{cache}/{version}/`), noting "Both shapes ship in the wild." On an
   install where the highest-versioned cache happens to be the older flat
   shape, STEP 0's re-read target wouldn't exist; the model would silently
   stay on the stale marketplaces/ copy STEP 0 was supposed to move it
   away from — the exact failure mode this guard was added to prevent.

   Fix: extend the STEP 0 bash to resolve $CLAUDE_CACHE_SKILL_MD by
   probing both layouts, then have the model hop to that resolved path
   instead of constructing the path from a hardcoded suffix.

Two new tests in tests/test_skill_version.py cover the missing-key and
empty-string cases for fix 1. Fix 2 is exercised via the bash probe at
verify time (the STEP 0 prose-contract test isn't unit-testable from
Python, but the dual-layout bash is verified to resolve to the correct
SKILL.md on both shapes).

Stale finding skipped: greptile also flagged a missing try/except on the
SKILL.md read_text() call, but that was already addressed during the
ce-code-review safe_auto pass earlier in this PR — current code wraps it
in `try/except (OSError, UnicodeDecodeError)`, strictly more defensive
than the suggested fix.
2026-05-15 22:34:52 -07:00
Trevin Chow 6c2c55733c fix(skill): use find instead of ls+glob in cache resolvers (zsh compatibility)
zsh errors on globs that match nothing instead of returning the literal
pattern (bash's default), and `2>/dev/null` does not suppress the error
because it comes from the shell's glob expansion before `ls` even runs.
Under Codex (which executes the SKILL.md bash via zsh), STEP 0 and the
Step 1 / comparison-mode resolvers emitted noisy "no matches found"
errors on machines without a Claude plugin cache populated.

Replaces all three `ls -d $HOME/.claude/plugins/cache/last30days-skill/last30days/*/`
invocations with `find ... -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d 2>/dev/null`.
find is POSIX-portable, errors silently when the base dir doesn't exist,
and never triggers shell glob errors. `sort -V | tail -1` precedence
preserved (verified: picks 3.10.0 over 3.2.1 over 3.1.0). Trailing-slash
strip removed because find doesn't append slashes.

Observed in Codex session running /last30days against PR #400 with the
Claude plugin cache deleted - bash output was:
  zsh:1: no matches found: /Users/.../last30days/*/

After fix: clean empty output, exit 0, STEP 0 correctly treats it as
"no cache present, do not hop", resolver falls through to per-harness
skill dirs as designed.

Trevin Chow 997708ad48 refactor(skill): apply ce-code-review fixes — bump to 3.2.2, fallback tests, comparison resolver
12 fixes from the multi-agent code review on PR #400:

Version 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2 across all manifests (SKILL.md frontmatter + body
header, pyproject.toml, .claude-plugin/{plugin,marketplace}.json, sync.sh
cache path). The PR ships observable behavior changes (STEP 0 logic flip,
resolver order change, badge fallback) that should not silently appear
under the same version number — the new fallback reads SKILL.md version
directly so the badge would otherwise be misleading.

render.py::_skill_version:
- `import re` moved to module top
- _VERSION_RE extracted as a module-level compiled pattern that accepts
  double-quoted, single-quoted, and unquoted YAML version scalars
- `break` -> `continue` on corrupt manifest, so a corrupt inner manifest
  no longer shadows a valid outer one
- Wrap SKILL.md read_text() in try/except for UnicodeDecodeError to keep
  badge emission from crashing on mis-encoded SKILL.md
- Docstring clarifies precedence; inline comment marks the fallback boundary
  between the manifest walk and the SKILL.md walk

tests/test_skill_version.py (new): 7 unit tests for the fallback paths
(manifest absent, manifest corrupt, corrupt-inner + valid-outer, both
absent, SKILL.md without version, single-quoted, unquoted).

tests/test_plugin_contract.py: tombstone test asserting .codex-plugin/
stays removed (was the only CI guard against accidental reintroduction).

SKILL.md:
- STEP 0 bash echoes CLAUDE_CACHE_LATEST so the model can see the
  resolved value when deciding whether to hop
- "Both shapes ship in the wild" comment now names the two cache layouts
  (nested {cache}/{version}/skills/last30days/ vs flat {cache}/{version}/)
- Comparison-mode bash invocation gets its own inline SKILL_ROOT resolver
  (latent gap: the contract tells the model to skip Step 1 on comparison
  queries, so SKILL_ROOT was previously unset there)

CHANGELOG.md: [Unreleased] entries for the resolver rewrite and the
breaking removal of Codex native-plugin support.

All 9 reviewer personas surfaced findings; 3 cross-reviewer corroboration
clusters were promoted (import re, "both shapes" comment, missing fallback
tests). Maintainability follow-up flagged: regex now duplicated across
render.py and 2 test files; could consolidate via shared lib/skill_meta.py
helper in a future PR.

Trevin Chow c913e1cf89 refactor(skill): SKILL.md-relative path resolver, drop Codex native plugin
STEP 0 (CANONICAL PATH SELF-CHECK) used to force any SKILL.md load that wasn't
under $HOME/.claude/plugins/cache/last30days-skill/last30days/{version}/ to
re-Read from there. That guard is Claude-Code-specific (defends against the
marketplaces/ stale-clone bug) and broke under non-Claude installers like
`npx skills add`, ~/.codex/skills/, and ~/.agents/skills/.

The new STEP 0 narrows the check to its actual target: fire only when the
loaded SKILL.md path contains /.claude/plugins/marketplaces/. Every other
install path is trusted. The 2026-04-22 incident workaround is preserved
without breaking other harnesses.

Step 1 SKILL_ROOT resolver collapses the Codex-first / Claude-fallback /
CWD-fallback chain into a single precedence walk: Claude plugin cache
(versioned) first, then ~/.codex/skills, ~/.agents/skills, repo checkout,
./.skills/last30days (npx skills install dir), CWD, and GEMINI_EXTENSION_DIR.

Also drops Codex native plugin support: .codex-plugin/plugin.json is deleted,
the badge VERSION jq fallback in line 108 stops looking at it, and render.py's
_skill_version no longer scans for it. Codex users install via `npx skills add`
or the per-harness skill dir going forward.

render.py::_skill_version gains a SKILL.md frontmatter fallback so the badge
no longer emits `v?` on install dirs that sync.sh populates (which don't
include .claude-plugin/plugin.json).
2026-05-15 21:44:55 -07:00
Trevin Chow 54db014c7c fix(sync): point sync.sh at this repo's plugin cache, not the private repo's (#402)
sync.sh was written against the layout of mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private
(`.../cache/last30days-skill-private/last30days-3/{version}`) and that path
was never updated when this public repo got its own copy. Running sync.sh
from here populated the BETA channel's cache (`/last30days-beta`) instead
of this repo's own `/last30days` cache, so devs working in this repo could
not test their changes via the public slash command without waiting for a
marketplace release.

Path now derives from this repo's own manifests:
- marketplace name `last30days-skill` (.claude-plugin/marketplace.json)
- plugin name      `last30days`       (.claude-plugin/plugin.json)

Drops the `last30days-3-nogem` target along with it - that's a private-repo
variant with no public equivalent.

Updates test_sync_cache_path_uses_skill_version to assert the new path
pattern and clarifies the COMMON_TARGETS comment so the next person editing
it understands which marketplace/plugin name segments come from where.

Tobi 4f6b86c456 feat: honor EXCLUDE_SOURCES env var in source count + pipeline filter
Adds a per-run denylist via the existing-but-unused EXCLUDE_SOURCES
config key. Two coupled changes:

1. pipeline.available_sources() filters out any source listed in
   config["EXCLUDE_SOURCES"] (comma-separated, case-insensitive,
   whitespace-tolerant) before returning.
2. hooks/scripts/check-config.sh "Ready — N sources active" banner
   subtracts excluded sources from the ScrapeCreators +3 (Reddit
   comments + TikTok + Instagram) so the count matches what the
   pipeline actually runs.

Use case: skip TikTok/Instagram on runs where you only want
text-substantive sources, without unsetting SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY
(which would also kill Reddit comments). The existing INCLUDE_SOURCES
allowlist covers Perplexity opt-in but doesn't cover this denylist case
— tiktok and instagram are added unconditionally when
SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY is set, with no opt-out short of removing the key.

Tests (tests/test_pipeline_v3.py::TestExcludeSources):
- excludes tiktok+instagram when listed
- no exclusion when env unset or empty string
- case-insensitive + whitespace-tolerant parsing
- works for any source (e.g. EXCLUDE_SOURCES=hackernews), not just SC-backed
2026-05-16 00:54:18 +02:00
Trevin Chow 80a1a47eef refactor: drop requests dep, route all providers through lib/http urllib wrapper (#393)
Five provider modules (pinterest, threads, instagram, tiktok, youtube_yt)
and watchlist.py each carried a try/except `requests` import with parallel
urllib + requests branches. The urllib path already used the
stdlib-only wrapper at `lib/http.py` (retries, 429 handling, HTTPError).
This collapses every dual-branch into a single `http.get`/`http.post`
call and removes the `requests` dependency from `pyproject.toml`.

Also drops 4 transitive deps (urllib3, certifi, charset-normalizer, idna)
from the lockfile, leaving the skill stdlib-only at runtime.

Tests for tiktok comments and watchlist delivery were rewritten to mock
`lib.http` directly instead of the now-removed `requests` module.

Out of scope but flagged during review: the 13 surviving SC call sites
share a near-identical scaffold and would benefit from a
`http.scrapecreators_get(url, params, token, ...)` helper. Filed for a
follow-up PR rather than expanding scope here.

Matt Van Horn c845f483d6 fix(sync): bump cache target to 3.2.1 to match SKILL.md (#397)
test_sync_cache_path_uses_skill_version asserts that sync.sh's plugin

moved to 3.2.1 in #371 but sync.sh still pointed at 3.2.0, leaving CI red

Matt Van Horn dc934ddb6a feat(digg): rename to 'Digg' and bump per-cluster post limits (#372)
* feat(digg): bump POSTS_PER_CLUSTER to 5 and render limit to 3

Match the per-item enrichment cap and inline-display cap used by the
other sources (Reddit, HN, YouTube, TikTok, GitHub all use 5 fetched /
3 displayed). At the previous 3/2 caps the engine routinely truncated
cluster context — a recent run on cli-printing-press lost the Jason
Calacanis quote tweet entirely because the display cut off after Garry
Tan's first two posts.

* feat(digg): rename 'Digg AI 1000' to 'Digg' in user-facing strings

Drop the 'AI 1000' suffix from the footer line, source label, inline
quote attribution ('via Digg'), why_relevant, container, mock title,
SKILL.md source list, and README sources table. Internal code comments
and docstrings still reference the upstream Digg AI 1000 product.

Bumps version to 3.2.1 and adds a CHANGELOG entry covering this rename
and the POSTS_PER_CLUSTER / render-limit bumps from the prior commit.

Matt Van Horn c04bd67922 feat: add Digg AI 1000 as an opt-in source (#370)
* feat(digg): add Digg AI 1000 source module with cluster search and post enrichment

- search_digg shells out to digg-pp-cli with --since 30d --agent
- parse_digg_response normalizes clusters to last30days dict shape
- enrich_with_top_posts attaches top-ranked X posts to top-K clusters
- shutil.which gate plus subproc.run_with_timeout discipline matches
  bird_x.py / youtube_yt.py patterns

25 unit tests cover parse, age window, relevance, binary-missing
fallback, timeout recovery, and partial enrichment failures.

* feat(digg): wire Digg source into pipeline, normalize, signals, and render

pipeline.py:
- Import digg, add to MOCK_AVAILABLE_SOURCES, gate via shutil.which
- Dispatch case calls search_digg + parse_digg_response, runs
  enrich_with_top_posts at default/deep depth
- Mock fixture includes one enriched cluster + one bare cluster

normalize.py:
- _normalize_digg maps cluster dicts to SourceItem with
  container='Digg AI 1000' and metadata.posts pass-through

signals.py:
- SOURCE_QUALITY['digg'] = 0.85 (top tier alongside YouTube,
  reflecting Digg's curatorial layer)
- ENGAGEMENT_WEIGHTS['digg'] balances postCount, uniqueAuthors,
  and the rank_score derived from Digg's curatorial position

render.py:
- SOURCE_LABELS['digg'] = 'Digg AI 1000'
- _FOOTER_SOURCES adds '⛏️ Digg AI 1000' line after GitHub
- ENGAGEMENT_DISPLAY mirrors footer keys
- New _digg_posts_for + _format_digg_quote helpers emit inline
  '@handle via Digg AI 1000' quotes for clusters with attached X
  posts; both compact and full-dump renderers call them

* feat(digg): polish per-item engagement display and progress label

- ENGAGEMENT_DISPLAY for digg uses 'posts' / 'auth' to match the
  codebase abbreviation convention (HN: 'pts'/'cmt', X: 'rt'/'re')
- Footer item word changes from 'story' to 'cluster' to dodge the
  pre-existing naive plural in _footer_line_for_source ('storys')
  and to match Digg's actual data model
- ui.py SOURCE_COMPLETION_META adds digg with correct 'cluster'/
  'clusters' plural so 'Research complete' shows 'Digg: N clusters'

* feat(digg): document Digg AI 1000 source in skill, README, and changelog

- planner.py SOURCE_CAPABILITIES adds digg with discussion/social/link
  capabilities so the planner offers it through the standard fanout
- SKILL.md ACTIVE_SOURCES_LIST gate includes 'which digg-pp-cli' check
  and the source list / available-sources line names digg as opt-in
- README.md Sources table adds the Digg AI 1000 row with the activation
  gate so first-time readers see what they get
- CHANGELOG.md Unreleased section calls out the source addition

* fix(digg): enrich post-dedupe so brief survivors carry inline quotes

Pipeline dispatch was attaching X posts to the top-3 items returned by
search, but dedupe later picked different survivors when multiple
clusters compared similar (common for trending topics). The brief
ended up showing clusters with no posts attached even though
enrichment ran successfully on positions 0-2.

Move enrichment to _finalize_items_by_source. The new
digg.enrich_source_items helper reads metadata['clusterUrlId'] and
writes metadata['posts'] in place on the SourceItems that actually
survive dedupe.

Verified live on 'openclaw': 2 surviving clusters, both now carry
real X-post quotes from @sama and @jeremyphoward attributed
'via Digg AI 1000'.

Adds 3 unit tests covering survivor enrichment, non-digg skip, and
clusterUrlId fallback to item_id.

* test(digg): relax live off-topic test to check shape, not emptiness

Digg's live search uses fuzzy/popularity fallback, so an impossible
token can still return some loosely-related clusters. The contract
the pipeline depends on is shape (results is always a list);
token-overlap relevance handles the noise downstream.

Trevin Chow b1773be8f3 feat(emit): --emit=html for shareable self-contained briefs (#332)
Adds a one-command shareable HTML mode to /last30days. The skill detects
HTML intent (explicit --emit=html / --emit:html / --html flag in
$ARGUMENTS, or natural-language asks like "give me a shareable brief",
"for Slack", "export as HTML"), runs the normal research + chat synthesis
flow, then saves a self-contained HTML file to
~/Documents/Last30Days/{topic}-brief.html. The synthesis appears in chat
as usual; the HTML is an additional artifact for sharing.

User experience:

  /last30days OpenClaw --emit=html
  /last30days OpenClaw, give me an HTML brief for Slack

Synthesis prints to chat. Last line of the response: "📎 Shareable brief
saved to ~/Documents/Last30Days/openclaw-brief.html". Open it, drag it
into a message, browser-print to PDF, email it.

Architecture:

  - SKILL.md gets a small detection block (triggers + early exit +
    MUST/MUST NOT rules + rationale) that points to a reference file.
  - references/save-html-brief.md owns the implementation: capture the
    synthesis verbatim into a temp file via heredoc, invoke the engine
    with --emit=html --synthesis-file, save to disk, append the
    confirmation line to chat.
  - lib/render.py exposes render_for_html(report, synthesis_md=None) and
    render_for_html_comparison(...) -- clean markdown for HTML
    conversion. Omits debug file header, model-facing safety note, and
    data quality warnings (those stay in engine stderr; recipients can't
    act on them in a shared artifact).
  - lib/html_render.py is a new module: ~200-line CSS template (dark
    mode default, prefers-color-scheme switch, print stylesheet, mobile
    breakpoint), stdlib-regex markdown-to-HTML converter, marker-based
    META + engine-footer wrapping, PROSE_LABELS registry promoting plain
    -text labels to <h2>, colophon builder.
  - last30days.py adds --emit=html argparse choice and --synthesis-file
    PATH flag (engine still callable directly without the skill in the
    loop).

Design:

  - Voice-led research brief, not corporate report. Inter + JetBrains
    Mono via Google Fonts with full system fallbacks (no FOIT, works
    offline). Brand purple #a855f7 (#7c3aed in light mode). Type ramp:
    body 17px/400/muted, bold lead-in 17px/600/fg, h2 + .prose-label
    20px/600/fg, monospace badge/meta/footer/colophon at 13-13.5px.
  - 720px max-width, generous whitespace, no card layouts or shadows.
  - Print stylesheet: light theme, A4 margins, [href]::after URL
    footnotes, page-break-inside:avoid on the engine footer.

Templated (locked) shell:

  - HTML5 boilerplate, Google Fonts <link> with preconnect, all CSS
    inline.
  - .badge / .meta / .engine-footer / .colophon containers.

Flexible (role-based):

  - <h2> rendering covers BOTH plain ## headers (comparison mode per
    LAW 4 exception) AND promoted prose labels via PROSE_LABELS
    registry. Adding a new SKILL.md prose label is a one-line tuple
    addition; no CSS or template changes.
  - Marker-based engine boundaries (<!-- META: ... -->,
    <!-- PASS-THROUGH FOOTER -->) survive the markdown converter and
    get promoted post-conversion. Robust to engine output format
    changes.
  - Generic markdown-to-HTML for body content; future SKILL.md additions
    (new sections, tables, blockquotes) render correctly without code
    changes.

Tests: 30 new tests in tests/test_html_render.py covering snapshots
(rich/thin/comparison), CLI parsing, --synthesis-file end-to-end, prose

Ilia Alshanetsky 5b87cca886 fix(xurl): treat PermissionError from PATH lookup as unavailable (#322)
is_available() only caught FileNotFoundError and TimeoutExpired. On WSL,
a /mnt/c/.../WindowsApps entry on $PATH returns EACCES during exec, and
Python raises PermissionError. That escaped is_available() and crashed
pipeline.diagnose() before any source ran.

Catch OSError instead. It covers FileNotFoundError, PermissionError, and
any other spawn-time OS error, so a non-executable xurl on PATH falls
through to the next backend instead of aborting the run.

Ilia Alshanetsky bbf892aecc refactor: extract subprocess cleanup into shared subproc helper (#210)
bird_x.py and youtube_yt.py had four near-identical copies of the same
subprocess cleanup dance (Popen + os.setsid + communicate(timeout) +
SIGTERM via killpg + proc.kill() fallback + wait(5)). Extract to
lib.subproc.run_with_timeout(), which:

- runs the child in its own process group via os.setsid where available
- raises SubprocTimeout on timeout
- on timeout: SIGTERM the group, fall back to proc.kill(), wait up to 5s
- accepts an on_pid callback so bird_x can still register child PIDs
  with last30days.register_child_pid for whole-process cleanup
- captures stdout/stderr as strings in a SubprocResult dataclass

Migrated call sites: _run_bird_search, search_handles inner worker,
search_youtube, fetch_transcript. With the helper in place, the signal
and subprocess imports became dead in both files (plus os in
youtube_yt) and went with them.

Tests: 9 new subproc tests cover success, non-zero exit, stderr capture,
timeout-raises, timeout-kills-group, missing-command, env passthrough,
PID callback, and callback-exception suppression. test_env_v3 and
test_youtube_yt patch subproc.run_with_timeout instead of the removed
bird_x.subprocess and yt-dlp subprocess.

Ilia Alshanetsky 2acbf8a869 perf: batch store_findings, dedup source_items in O(1), remove dead code (#206)
1. N+1 queries in store.store_findings()
   The old loop ran one SELECT per finding to check existence, then one
   INSERT or UPDATE. 100 findings cost 200 serial SQLite roundtrips.
   Now: one batch SELECT with WHERE source_url IN (...) builds a lookup
   dict, then executemany() handles all inserts and updates. Query count
   stays constant regardless of batch size. Benchmark on 500 findings:
   ~30ms to ~20ms; gap widens on slower storage.

2. O(n^2) source_items dedup in fusion.weighted_rrf()
   Merging an item into an existing candidate ran any(existing.source ==
   ... for existing in candidate.source_items), linearly scanning a list
   that grew with each merge. At 40 candidates with 20 source_items each,
   fusion went quadratic. Now tracks (source, item_id) tuples in a
   per-candidate set for O(1) lookup. The source_items list itself is
   unchanged since other code iterates it.

3. Dead code removal
   - providers.GeminiClient.ground_search() and .url_context_json(): zero
     callers. Deleted.
   - render._top_comment_excerpt(): zero callers. Deleted.
   - env.is_reddit_available(): one-line wrapper around get_reddit_source.
     Callers can check get_reddit_source(config) is not None directly.

Ilia Alshanetsky e6b89f2644 perf: cache PreparedQuery per stream, skip double-normalize in dedupe (#282)
Scoring hot path (_normalize_score_dedupe) re-tokenized the same
ranking_query ~240x per stream: once per item for local_relevance,
plus ~5x per item across snippet windows. Query tokens are immutable
within a stream, so compute them once as relevance.PreparedQuery and
thread through signals.annotate_stream and snippet.extract_best_snippet.

dedupe._PreparedText called normalize_text twice: once in __init__ and
again via get_ngrams. Factor out _ngrams_of_normalized so the prepared
path skips the redundant pass while get_ngrams keeps its public contract.

Behavior unchanged.

Matt Van Horn 949bcf8942 feat: vs mode N full passes + --competitors auto-discovery + (/Last30Days) title (#312)
* feat: vs mode runs N full passes; --competitors wraps vs with auto-discovery

Unifies vs-mode and --competitors onto one fanout architecture. A topic
containing "vs" / "versus" now runs N full pipeline.run() calls in parallel
(reverting the one-pass latency optimization that removed per-entity
depth); --competitors becomes a SKILL.md-level shortcut where the hosting
reasoning model (Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, Gemini) discovers N peers via
its own WebSearch, runs Step 0.55 per entity, and invokes the engine with
a vs-topic + --competitors-plan JSON.

Changed:
- vs-mode: N full passes in parallel via fanout (was 1 merged pass).
- --competitors: SKILL.md shortcut for vs-mode-with-discovery. Engine flag
  kept for headless/cron use. LAW 7-style stderr reframed to lead with the
  hosting-model path (use WebSearch + --competitors-plan) instead of
  BRAVE_API_KEY. Footer BRAVE/SERPER nudge suppressed when --plan or
  --competitors-plan present (hosting model already has WebSearch).

Added:
- --competitors-plan JSON flag: per-entity {x_handle, x_related, subreddits,
  github_user, github_repos, context}. Accepts inline JSON or file path.
  subrun_kwargs_for helper is the single source of truth for per-entity
  kwargs — no closure-default fallthrough from main scope.
- Per-entity save files: each entity's sub-run produces its own
  {slug}-raw.md with a single-row Resolved Entities block.
- --polymarket-keywords filter for ambiguous single-token topics.

Fixed:
- test_competitor_subrun_isolation regression suite locks in 3.0.12's
  no-leak invariant (main flags do not inherit into peer sub-runs).
- Updates test_regression.py for the new comparison-mode payload shape.

Bumps plugin.json to 3.0.13. 1,219 tests passing.

* fix: comparison title attribution — (Last 30 Days) → (/Last30Days)

User feedback on 3.0.13 dogfood runs (Kanye vs Drake, Mercer Island,

Three SKILL.md occurrences updated. Pure documentation change. Bumps to
3.0.14.

Matt Van Horn 00d01933e0 fix: per-entity Step 0.55, LAW 7 sub-run quiet, default 2, canonical SKILL.md (#311)
Four fixes based on 2026-04-22 test-window feedback on v3.0.11 --competitors:

- Each competitor sub-run now runs Step 0.55 (X handle / subreddits /
  GitHub) via resolve.auto_resolve inside the fanout closure. Deep-copied
  config per entity prevents _auto_resolve_context leak across sub-runs.
  Resolved data stored on report.artifacts["resolved"] for the renderer.
- New internal_subrun keyword on planner.plan_query and pipeline.run
  suppresses the LAW 7 "No --plan passed" stderr for engine-internal
  fan-out only. Default path unchanged.
- Default --competitors count is now 2 (3-way total). --competitors=N
  still customizes; range 1..6.
- SKILL.md STEP 0 canonical-path self-check forces readers who loaded
  from marketplaces/ (auto-restored to origin/main, stale) to re-read
  from plugins/cache/last30days-skill/last30days/{VERSION}/SKILL.md.
  Two of three 2026-04-22 test windows hit this stale-path trap.
- New ## Resolved Entities block in render_comparison_multi shows
  per-entity handles/subs/github for debug visibility.

Bumps plugin.json to 3.0.12. 12 new tests; 1,175 total passing.

Matt Van Horn 5f054380c5 feat: --competitors flag for auto-discovered comparison fan-out (#308)
Pass `--competitors` on a single-entity topic and the engine auto-discovers
2-6 peer entities via web search, runs the full pipeline on each in
parallel, and returns one N-way comparison reusing the existing 9-axis
Head-to-Head scaffold. `last30days OpenAI --competitors` resolves to
Anthropic + xAI + Google Gemini; `last30days Kanye West --competitors`
resolves to Drake + Kendrick Lamar + one more peer.

- New CLI flags: --competitors, --competitors=N, --competitors-list
- New scripts/lib/competitors.py — mirrors resolve.auto_resolve pattern
  (web search + deterministic text extraction, no internal LLM)
- New scripts/lib/fanout.py — ThreadPoolExecutor orchestrator; per-entity
  failures degrade gracefully as long as >=2 entities survive
- Multi-report render in scripts/lib/render.py reuses the comparison
  scaffold for the synthesis table
- LAW 7-style stderr when no backend and no list, pointing the hosting
  reasoning model at --competitors-list
- 38 new tests across CLI parsing, discovery, fanout, and rendering

Matt Van Horn 4e91f4e754 fix: Step 0.55 category-peer subreddit expansion (#305)
* feat(resolve): category-peer subreddit map for Step 0.55

Introduces scripts/lib/categories.py with a curated category->peer-subs
map and wires scripts/lib/resolve.py auto_resolve() to merge peers into
the WebSearch-extracted subreddit list. Named 2026-04-22 failure mode:
a "Prompting GPT Image 2" run resolved only r/OpenAI + r/ChatGPT and
missed r/StableDiffusion, r/midjourney, r/dalle2, r/aiArt where
prompting techniques actually live.

Map is static, curated, ~11 categories (ai_image_generation,
ai_video_generation, ai_music_generation, ai_coding_agent,
ai_agent_framework, ai_chat_model, saas_screen_recording,
saas_productivity, prediction_markets, crypto_defi, dev_tool_cli).
First-match-wins ordering from most-specific to least-specific.
Compound-term patterns only (no bare common nouns like "image", "ai").

auto_resolve now:
- calls detect_category(topic) after _extract_subreddits
- merges peer_subs case-insensitively, caps at MAX_SUBS (10)
- preserves every WebSearch-returned sub (freshest signal)
- emits [Resolve] Matched category=<id>, adding peers: <list> on stderr
  only when peers were actually added
- returns new "category" key in the result dict for observability
- wraps classifier in try/except so failures degrade to unwidened list

Includes drive-by: test_full_resolve / test_partial_failure
searches_run expectations bumped from 3->4 / 2->3 to match the current
queries dict (subreddit + news + x_handle + github).

* feat(skill): Step 0.55 category-peer expansion and self-check

Adds Section 2a (category-peer expansion, MANDATORY for product topics)
and the Step 0.55 self-check checkpoint that fires immediately before
the Resolved block displays. Structural mirror of the engine-side
categories.py map: same categories, same peer subs, same priority
order.

The model-side path now:
- Applies category-peer expansion to the WebSearch-resolved subs on
  every product-in-a-known-category run.
- Emits the (+ <category_id> peers) annotation on the Reddit line of
  the Resolved block as the observable contract. Absence on a
  product-in-a-known-category topic is a Step 0.55 regression.
- Runs a self-check before emitting Resolved: "does the resolved list
  include at least 2 peer subs for the matched category? if not,
  widen NOW and do not run the engine yet."

Mirror of the Python map lives inside Step 0.55 as a table for the
model to pattern-match against; extrapolation to unlisted categories
is explicitly allowed. Worked example (the exact failing query)
appears below the table so reviewers can see before/after at a glance.

Both changes land inside the existing Step 0.55 block. No new
top-level section, no new LAW. LAWs 1-6 wording unchanged.

* test: end-to-end regression for GPT Image 2 failure mode

Stubs grounding.web_search to return the OpenAI-only subs that caused
the 2026-04-22 failure, then asserts that auto_resolve widens to
include the image-gen peers and emits the [Resolve] Matched
category=ai_image_generation stderr line. Covers the cap boundary
and the uncategorized-topic no-op path.

Fixture tests/fixtures/prompting-gpt-image-2-resolved-block.md is
documentation-grade (not parsed by tests) and shows the pre-fix vs
post-fix Resolved block shape so reviewers can evaluate future
categories.py edits against the original bug.

Matt Van Horn 952a876536 feat: attribute top comments with u/ and @ handles in evidence lines (#292)
Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Bluesky, X and Threads top comments
now render as u/author or @handle in the evidence block, instead of the
generic "Comment (...)" label. The enrichment adapters already captured
author; only the render layer was dropping it.

Also fixes the TikTok adapter to prefer user.unique_id (the @handle) over
user.nickname (display name) so attribution round-trips to a profile URL.

Legacy "Comment (...)" shape is preserved when author is empty, [deleted],

Matt Van Horn 1f23e3f980 test: skip docs/ in memory-dir-paths sweep (#291)
The regression test from #290 walks the filesystem via Path.rglob, so
docs/plans/*.md files (gitignored, created by internal planning) trip
the assertion on any dev machine that has run ce:plan in this repo.
Fresh clones and CI never see them, but local runs fail.

Adding docs to skip_dirs keeps the guard narrow to first-class source
files while letting internal planning docs reference old paths
verbatim.

weichao adac4c377a feat: add xurl CLI as alternative X search backend
Adds xurl (https://github.com/openclaw/xurl) as a third X search
backend, sitting after xAI API and Bird/GraphQL in the priority chain.

xurl uses the official X API v2 with OAuth2+PKCE authentication,
requiring only a free X Developer App. It auto-refreshes tokens and
works reliably as a stable fallback when xAI API key or browser
cookies are not available.

Limitations:
- X API search/recent returns last 7 days only (vs Bird's full archive)
- No AI-powered relevance scoring (uses token_overlap_relevance instead)
- Free tier: 180 requests per 15-minute window

New files:
- scripts/lib/xurl_x.py: xurl CLI wrapper with search + parse
- tests/test_xurl_x.py: 30 unit tests (all passing)

Modified files:
- scripts/lib/env.py: detect xurl in get_x_source_with_method(),
  get_missing_keys(), and get_x_source_status()
- scripts/last30days.py: add xurl_x import and xurl branch in

Matt Van Horn 3107325443 feat: inline markdown links on narrative citations (#289)
Inline markdown links on every narrative citation (@handle, r/sub,
publication, YouTube channel, TikTok/Instagram creator, Polymarket
market). Raw URL strings remain forbidden. Plain-text fallback when the
raw data has no URL for a specific source.

Commit 1 (790e5bc) added the citation rule in CITATION PRIORITY / URL
FORMATTING. Live tests showed the rule was deployed but consistently
skipped because it lived at line 1224, below the agent's chunked-read
window. Commit 2 (5864c687) hoists the rule into the VOICE CONTRACT
LAW block as LAW 8, at line 167 - inside the guaranteed-loaded top
band alongside LAWs 1-7. Same pattern that fixed v3.0.6 (invented
titles), disaster #2 (stripped bold), disaster #3 (trailing Sources),
and the 2026-04-19 Hermes evidence-dump disaster.

No Python engine changes. Rule is prompt-only; the deterministic
stats footer (LAW 5) is unchanged.

2026-04-19 11:09:56 -07:00
Matt Van Horn 4388fed46a fix: rewrite 'no LLM provider' stderr to stop the capability-constraint misread
PR #285 introduced the stderr warning "No --plan and no LLM provider
configured. Using deterministic fallback..." The 2026-04-19 Run 1
agent self-debug said it read that as "I don't have a key, I can't do
LLM stuff, I have to accept fallback" - which is the exact wrong
mental model. The word "provider" referred to the engine's INTERNAL
planner credentials, but the agent parsed it as "I need credentials
to plan at all."

Rewritten to say plainly: YOU are the reasoning model hosting this
skill (Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, Gemini, or any agent runtime);
YOU ARE the planner; you do not need an API key or credentials - you
ARE the LLM. The --plan flag exists precisely so a reasoning model
generates its own plan upstream and passes it to the engine. The
deterministic fallback is the headless/cron path only.

Runtime enumeration is explicit so agents on every supported runtime
recognize themselves - this skill ships to Claude Code, Codex, Hermes,
and ~/.agents via sync.sh.

Tests: updated test_fallback_logs_warning_when_no_provider to assert
the new language (YOU ARE the planner, runtime names present) and
assert the old misleading phrasing is absent. Renamed the companion
test for clarity.

Matt Van Horn a7d6ef051a fix: expand entity-grounding haystack to transcripts + top comments
PR #285's entity grounding checked only title + snippet. That missed:

- YouTube videos where the entity is mentioned in transcript but not
  in title (false demotion of on-topic content)
- Reddit posts where the entity is in top comments but not in title
  (false demotion of on-topic discussion)

And it also wasn't strong enough to reliably demote items like the
2026-04-19 Nate Herk "Managed Agents" video - which had no Hermes
anywhere - because the -25 penalty on rerank_score composed to only
-15 on final_score via the 0.60 weight, and engagement bonus partially
offset that.

Two fixes:

1. _candidate_haystack() now joins title + snippet +
   metadata[transcript_snippet] + metadata[transcript_highlights] +
   metadata[top_comments][*].excerpt/text + metadata[comment_insights].
   Catches entity mentions wherever they actually live. Guarded with
   isinstance checks so malformed metadata doesn't raise.
2. ENTITY_MISS_FINAL_PENALTY (20.0) applied directly in _final_score
   when candidate.explanation contains "entity-miss". This lands the
   full penalty weight on the composite signal that cluster-scoring
   consumes, instead of being diluted by the rerank_score weight.
   Combined effect: entity-miss gap grows from ~15 to ~35 points.

Tests: 8 new scenarios covering transcript match, transcript highlight
match, top-comment match, comment-insight match, empty-text skip,
no-primary-entity no-op, and the dual-penalty composition check.

Matt Van Horn b7df5ecd2d fix: emit user-visible DEGRADED RUN WARNING on bare named-entity calls
The stderr [Planner] warning from PR #285 doesn't reach the user because
Claude and other reasoning agents hide stderr from their synthesis. The
2026-04-19 Hermes Agent Use Cases Run 1 produced source=deterministic
and the user never saw it.

Adds a user-visible stdout block that the model's LAW 5 pass-through
contract forces into the response. Fires only when plan_source is
deterministic AND no pre-research flags were passed AND the topic is
pre-research-eligible (named entity). Cron jobs on abstract topics
don't trigger it.

Position: BEFORE the EVIDENCE FOR SYNTHESIS envelope so the model sees
it as the first non-badge content. Wrapped in a new USER-VISIBLE BANNER
envelope matching the EVIDENCE/PASS-THROUGH envelope pattern from Unit 1
of PR #285.

Runtime-agnostic language: explicitly enumerates Claude Code, Codex,
Hermes, Gemini so the hosting reasoning model recognizes itself
regardless of runtime.

pipeline.py now persists plan_source to report.artifacts so the
renderer can consume it. Adds 7 tests covering fire conditions,
suppression conditions (external/llm plan source, flags present,
abstract topic), and correct position relative to the evidence envelope.

Matt Van Horn a0d61b0dc6 fix: add LAW 7 - YOU ARE the planner, --plan mandatory on named entities
Run 1 of /last30days Hermes Agent use cases on 2026-04-19 called the engine
bare despite SKILL.md already having a detailed Step 0.75 (YOU are the
planner) and a PRECONDITION GATE requiring --plan. Those lived at lines
647 and 729 - the model didn't reach them before invoking Bash.

LAW 7 hoists the rule into the OUTPUT CONTRACT block at the top (same
placement pattern as LAW 6), so it is the first thing the model reads.
Runtime-agnostic language: Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, Gemini, or any
agent runtime. Named failure mode with the misread diagnosis: "provider"
in engine messages refers to the engine's INTERNAL planner credentials,
NOT a prerequisite the caller needs - if you are the hosting reasoning
model, YOU are the provider.

Concrete self-check: re-read pending Bash command; if no --plan and topic
is a named entity, STOP and generate a plan.

Matt Van Horn 5f218aaac5 fix: always log planner subqueries to stderr
The prior pipeline.py only logged the planner outcome when an external

The internal LLM planner and the deterministic fallback ran silently,
so retrieval-breadth failures were invisible without --debug.

After plan finalization, emit a unified trace:

  [Planner] Plan: intent=X, freshness=Y, cluster_mode=Z, subqueries=N, source=external|llm|deterministic
  [Planner]   sq1 label=... search="..." sources=[...]
  [Planner]   sq2 ...

Stderr only; does not touch the user-facing stdout synthesis. The
source= annotation distinguishes --plan (external), provider-backed
(llm), and deterministic paths — so when the 2026-04-19 Hermes Agent
Use Cases failure mode recurs, the trace tells the user which path ran
and what subqueries it produced.

Tests: added test_planner_trace_always_fires_on_mock_run which captures
stderr on a mock pipeline run and asserts the summary + per-subquery
lines appear.

Matt Van Horn a709d66e2a fix: demote reranker candidates that miss the primary entity
The 2026-04-19 Hermes Agent Use Cases run had a Nate Herk YouTube video
titled "I Tested Claude's New Managed Agents" score 51 and rank #2
with zero Hermes content. The reranker had intent-specific scoring hints
but no entity-grounding check, so topic-vicinity matches (one offhand
OpenClaw mention) drifted to the top.

Add _primary_entity(topic) that strips intent-modifier suffixes ("use
cases", "workflows", etc.) so "Hermes Agent use cases" yields
primary_entity="Hermes Agent". Pass the entity through to both the LLM
and fallback scoring paths.

Fallback path: if primary_entity is not found (case-insensitive) in
title + snippet, subtract ENTITY_MISS_PENALTY (25 pts). Skip the
demotion for candidates with no text at all (image-only TikToks etc.)
to avoid false negatives on thin-text sources.

LLM path: add a "Primary entity grounding" hint to _build_prompt when
primary_entity is non-empty. Instructs the LLM to score candidates
without the entity at <=30.

Tests: 24 rerank tests pass, including 8 new entity-grounding tests.

Matt Van Horn 4d9f29d2ed fix: broaden planner retrieval and fix deterministic fallback defaults
Topics with suffixes like "use cases", "workflows", "review",
"examples" were previously echoed near-verbatim into search_query,
returning near-zero matches because nobody posts the literal phrase
(2026-04-19 Hermes Agent Use Cases failure).

Unit 2 — planner breadth:

1. Planner prompt rule: STRIP intent-modifier phrases from search_query
   (keep them in ranking_query). Paraphrase across 4-5 subqueries that
   each express the intent differently.
2. Planner prompt rule: quote only multi-word proper nouns like
   "Hermes Agent", not the user's full topic.
3. Raise _max_subqueries cap from 3 to 5 for how_to / opinion / product /
   breaking_news / prediction. Comparison stays at 4; factual / concept
   stay at 2 unless the topic carries an intent modifier.
4. Deterministic fallback: when intent is non-{comparison,prediction}
   and topic contains an intent modifier, append 3 paraphrased
   subqueries (workflows, production, experience).

Unit 3 — deterministic fallback defaults:

5. _infer_intent default changed from "breaking_news" to "concept".
   Prior default forced strict_recent freshness on unclassified topics,
   biasing against older relevant material. Recency-signal regexes
   ("trending", "this week", etc.) added above the default so genuinely
   time-sensitive topics still classify correctly.
6. _keyword_query now quotes only title-cased multi-word proper nouns
   ("Hermes Agent", "Claude Code"), not the user's full typed topic.
   Hyphenated compounds and lowercase terms are left as bare keywords
   so platform tokenizers broaden rather than narrow retrieval.
7. New stderr warning when plan_query runs with no --plan and no LLM
   provider: surfaces that the deterministic fallback path is weaker
   than the --plan-from-Claude-Code path, so callers know to generate
   and pass a plan.

Tests: 37 planner tests pass, including 11 intent-modifier and 7
fallback-defaults tests.

Matt Van Horn 52fb0e50cb fix: scope pass-through to footer only, add LAW 6 against raw cluster dumps
The engine's ## Ranked Evidence Clusters block is a scratchpad for the
model to read, not user-facing output. Two consecutive /last30days runs
on 2026-04-19 (Hermes Agent Use Cases) dumped it verbatim as user output
because the prior canonical-boundary text (Pass through the lines ABOVE
this boundary verbatim) was ambiguous about scope.

Split render_compact stdout into two bounded blocks:

- <!-- EVIDENCE FOR SYNTHESIS: ... --> wraps Ranked Evidence Clusters,
  Stats, and Source Coverage. Transform into prose per LAW 2.
- <!-- PASS-THROUGH FOOTER: ... --> wraps the emoji-tree footer only.
  Emit verbatim per LAW 5.

Rewrite _render_canonical_boundary to scope pass-through to the footer
block explicitly and give the model a concrete self-check string
(### 1. followed by a score tuple) as the named LAW 6 failure signal.

Add LAW 6 to SKILL.md OUTPUT CONTRACT with the observed violation
(2026-04-19 Hermes Agent Use Cases) and a worked transformation example.

Matt Van Horn 8e18d0142c Merge pull request #280 from mvanhorn/fix/v3.0.9-engine-refuse-stale-skillmd
fix: v3.0.9 - engine refuses Class 1 keyword traps, delete stale SKILL.md files, reinforce LAW 1 over WebSearch
2026-04-18 13:40:37 -07:00
Matt Van Horn e8105df4fd fix: v3.0.9 - engine refuses Class 1 keyword traps, delete stale SKILL.md files, reinforce LAW 1 over WebSearch
Five Opus 4.7 self-debugs on v3.0.8 (3 passing, 2 failing runs) converged
on four fixes:

1. Engine refuses Class 1 demographic-shopping queries at main() front-door.
   Birthday-gift failure mode becomes structurally impossible - the pipeline
   never runs on a doomed query. Exit code 2 with a REFUSE message on stderr
   pointing the model to ask for hobbies/relationship/budget. Escape hatch:
   LAST30DAYS_SKIP_PREFLIGHT=1 for "just run it" overrides.

2. Delete stale `.agents/skills/last30days/SKILL.md` (1382 lines, April 13
   snapshot) and `.hermes-plugin/SKILL.md` (269 lines, April 13 snapshot).
   Peter Steinberger's self-debug named the first file as the one it read
   instead of the real SKILL.md. One SKILL.md per plugin, at the plugin root.
   Sync script simplified: Hermes now always uses main SKILL.md.

3. render_compact() appends an explicit END-OF-CANONICAL-OUTPUT boundary
   with pass-through instruction. The model had the canonical body in its
   buffer on the Peter run and discarded it; the boundary makes pass-through
   the path of least resistance.

4. LAW 1 gains a verbatim-pattern override clause naming the exact WebSearch
   tool-result reminder ("CRITICAL REQUIREMENT: MUST include Sources:
   section") that caused Peter's trailing Sources leak. No more ambiguity
   at synthesis time.

Tests: tests/test_preflight.py, 29 scenarios covering Class 1 matches
(birthday gift, best-for-demographic, what-to-buy-relationship), qualifier
skips (budget, hobbies, activity after year-old), and the REFUSE message
shape.

Validation gate before merging to main: re-run the 5 debug topics
(Peter Steinberger, birthday gift for 40 year old, Kanye West, Garry Tan,
OpenClaw vs Paperclip vs Hermes) on v3.0.9 and confirm 5/5 canonical
compliance. Rollback to v3.0.8 if any previously-passing topic regresses.

Matt Van Horn 361e9d6c13 fix: v3.0.8 - SKILL.md was too big and LAWs too deep - move to top + engine emits badge (#279)
Three independent Opus 4.7 self-debugs on 2026-04-18 converged on the same
root cause of the v3.0.6/v3.0.7 canonical-compliance regression: SKILL.md is
42,860 tokens / 1,478 lines, LAWs lived at line 1094+, every realistic reading
strategy failed to reach them before synthesis.

Unit 1 - Moved the BADGE MANDATORY block and VOICE CONTRACT LAW 1-5 (plus
the formatting-authority preface) from line ~1090 to line ~75 (right after
the SKILL CONTRACT preface, before HOW TO INVOKE THIS SKILL). Every reading
strategy now lands the LAWs in active context before synthesis.

Unit 2 - Engine now emits the badge as the first line of --emit=compact
stdout. Passing through the script output becomes the default-correct
behavior; emitting the badge no longer depends on model compliance. Reads
version from .claude-plugin/plugin.json at runtime with graceful fallback.

Unit 3 - Deleted skills/last30days/SKILL.md stub (231-line v3-spec file).
This was the wrong-file-capture hazard Ron Conway's self-debug identified:
model grabbed the first SKILL.md find surfaced and treated it as
authoritative. Only ONE SKILL.md in the plugin package now.

Diagnoses verbatim:
- Kanye thread: "I read lines 1-600 in chunks, jumped to 300-899, then
  stopped. File is 1478 lines. I never saw past ~900."
- Peter thread: "I tried Read once, hit the 25K token cap on a 42,860-token
  file, and bailed instead of chunked-reading with offset/limit. I never
  opened SKILL.md at all."
- Ron Conway thread: "I read one SKILL.md (231 lines)... the v3 spec stub.
  I never opened the operational SKILL.md sitting next to the script."

Validation: direct engine invocation confirms badge at line 1 of compact
output. Module imports clean.

Matt Van Horn 58845df312 fix: v3.0.7 - restore mandatory first-line badge + pin SKILL_ROOT + add skill-specificity anchor (#278)
Hot-fix for the public v3.0.6 0/8 regression (2026-04-18). Beta went 10/10
yesterday with the same LAW content; public went 0/8 today. The delta was
three structural anchors the port had removed or weakened.

Unit 1 - Restored MANDATORY first-line badge. Every public response now
emits "🌐 last30days v{VERSION} · synced {YYYY-MM-DD}" as line 1, blank
line, then "What I learned:" (GENERAL) or "# {TOPIC_A} vs {TOPIC_B}..."
(COMPARISON). This is the LAW 2 / LAW 4 enforcement anchor that my v3.0.6
port accidentally stripped along with the beta-specific "🧪 last30days-beta"
wording.

Unit 2 - Pinned SKILL_ROOT to the public plugin cache via
`ls -d ~/.claude/plugins/cache/last30days-skill/last30days/*/ | sort -V |
tail -1`, with a small fallback for repo/Gemini/Codex hosts. Replaces the
path-discovery loop that was landing on stale copies (~/.openclaw/,
~/.agents/, ~/.codex/) on machines with a private-repo sync history.

Unit 3 - Added a "SKILL CONTRACT" preface at the top of SKILL.md that names
the 0/8 regression as a documented failure mode and explicitly tells the
model not to treat /last30days as a generic keyword. Encodes user theory
that "/last30days-beta" sounded specific enough to trigger skill-follow
mode while "/last30days" reads as a search term and triggers improvise
mode.

Validation: all three anchors visible in the grep check for public
v3.0.7 cache. Next validation is manual re-run of the 8 failure topics
on public after shipping.

Matt Van Horn bad1d312ef feat: make default fun level actually surface comedy (#272)
Most users never touch FUN_LEVEL. Default medium was shipping a stats
block but rarely a Best Takes block, and when it did it was below the
cluster fold where a synthesizing model had already stopped reading.
A 2,304-upvote Reddit comment ("WHAT?! I reached my monthly limit
just reading this post") on the 2026-04-17 Opus 4.7 run sat inside
cluster 11 and never made it into synthesis. Four coordinated changes:

1. render: promote Best Takes above the cluster list so the synthesizer
   sees comedy before it anchors on cluster 1.
2. render: lower medium threshold from 70 to 55 (heuristic maxes at 80),
   drop the two-gem floor to one-gem. Default now reliably emits the
   block on typical runs.
3. rerank: score individual top_comments by upvote ratio to their parent
   thread. A 2,304-upvote comment on a 300-upvote thread now outranks a
   400-upvote comment on a 3,400-upvote thread, which is the viral-wit
   signal. Handles both the LLM scoring path and the heuristic fallback.
4. render: merge scored comment gems into Best Takes alongside candidate
   gems, sorted together. Comment lines show body + parent title +
   r/subreddit or @handle + absolute upvotes.
5. SKILL: tell the synthesizer to quote at least two Best Takes entries
   verbatim, with an example of the new comment format.

Matt Van Horn 3499c246b8 fix: add commands/last30days.md and remove skills/last30days-nux duplicate (#267)
Release / build-and-release (push) Has been cancelled
Adds commands/last30days.md so /last30days registers as a Claude Code
slash command for plugin users. Users type /last30days and autocomplete
prefix-matches to the canonical /last30days:last30days form (same as
/ce:plan resolving to /compound-engineering:ce-plan).

Removes skills/last30days-nux/, a byte-identical duplicate of the root
SKILL.md that created confusing /last30days:last30days-nux autocomplete
entries via Claude Code's plugin namespacing. Root SKILL.md remains
the canonical skill source; natural-language skill-selector invocation
is unchanged.

Recovery for users on v3.0.4: /plugin update last30days then /reload-plugins.

Closes #239 (path-escape error was already fixed in v3.0.4 by dropping
the rogue 'skills' key; v3.0.5 adds the slash command on top).
Supersedes #257 (suggested './' -> '.' workaround is obsolete since
v3.0.4 dropped the 'skills' key entirely, matching ecosystem standard).

Matt Van Horn 53b8e33d13 fix(youtube): use url= param for ScrapeCreators comments/transcript + parse new response shape (#265)
PR #260 wired YouTube comment enrichment against
`/v1/youtube/video/comments` with `id=<video_id>`, but the endpoint
requires `url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<video_id>`. Every enrich
call was returning 400 "missing_parameter: you must provide a url", so
no YouTube items ever carried `top_comments`.

The SC transcript fallback (`_sc_fetch_transcript`) had the identical
contract mistake. It was latent because `_fetch_transcript` prefers
yt-dlp and the SC path only fires when yt-dlp is missing, but it would
have failed the same way on hosts without yt-dlp installed.

Switching both callers to `url=` surfaces a second issue in the
response parser: SC returns `author` as `{"name": "@handle", ...}` and
nests like counts under `engagement.likes`, not top-level. The parser
was reading `author` as a string and missing the nested likes, so even
after the param fix every comment would land with an object-shaped
author and 0 likes.

- `_fetch_video_comments`: send `url=` on both urllib and requests branches
- `_sc_fetch_transcript`: same
- Response parser: extract `author.name` when author is a dict, read
  `engagement.likes` when top-level `likes` is absent, prefer
  `publishedTime` / `publishedTimeText` for date. Legacy string-author
  and top-level-likes shapes still work, so existing mocks are unchanged.

Verified live against api.scrapecreators.com: `_fetch_video_comments`
now returns fully-populated comments with real @handles and like
counts (e.g. "@JennyNicholson: ... (49000 likes, 2025-04-15)"). All
tests in youtube_yt/normalize/signals/render pass.

Matt Van Horn 73b4bd6ac6 fix: enforce pre-research protocol + override WebSearch Sources mandate (#266)
Restore the rich synthesis output by closing three prompt-level loopholes
that let the model silently take a degraded path:

1. Research Execution precondition gate. Steps 0.55 (entity resolution)
   and 0.75 (query planner) are now non-skippable on WebSearch platforms.
   --emit md is banned as a primary user-facing flow; --emit=compact with
   --plan is mandatory. OpenClaw --auto-resolve fallback preserved.

2. WebSearch "Sources:" mandate override. The WebSearch tool description
   contains a CRITICAL/MUST mandate to append a Sources section. That is
   explicitly superseded inside /last30days with matched-register
   CRITICAL/MANDATORY override language and a BAD/GOOD example. The
   existing web-source line is the citation; nothing appends below the
   invitation.

3. Pre-present self-check. Before displaying, the model verifies bold
   per-paragraph headlines, per-source emoji stats, quoted highlights,
   Polymarket block, coverage footer, and (critically) no trailing
   Sources block. One regeneration permitted if checks fail.

Also adds explicit MANDATORY language to the "What I learned" template
requiring bold headline phrases on every narrative paragraph.

Root cause: same-session A/B on 2026-04-15 between /last30days kanye
west (rich output, ran Steps 0.55 + 0.75, --emit=compact --plan) and
/last30days hermes ai (bland output, skipped both, --emit md) showed
the template was fine -- the model was lazily taking a shortcut SKILL.md
tolerated. No engine, render.py, or contributor PR was the cause.

Matt Van Horn a2850e3d19 fix: drop plugin.json 'skills' key to clear path-escape error on v2.1.109 (#264)
Release / build-and-release (push) Has been cancelled
plugin.json has declared "skills": ["./"] unchanged since v2.1.0. That
value used to work on older Claude Code but current versions reject it
with: Path escapes plugin directory: ./ (skills). The error surfaces
on fresh /doctor runs even after v3.0.3 restored the archive contents.

Fix: omit the "skills" key entirely. Every other plugin in the Claude
Code marketplace ecosystem (compound-engineering, coding-tutor, codex,
esper, 15+ Anthropic official plugins) omits this key and the loader
auto-discovers skills/*/SKILL.md. Matching that pattern clears the
path-escape error on v2.1.109+ and remains compatible with older
Claude Code versions where the default-discovery path was already the
working code path.

Matt Van Horn 9c1e253dcc fix(build): strip skills/ and .claude-plugin/ from .skill bundle (#263)
v3.0.3's fix (#262) restored skills/ and .claude-plugin/ to the git
archive, which Claude Code needs for /plugin install. But
scripts/build-skill.sh uses the same archive to produce the claude.ai
.skill bundle, which must contain exactly one root SKILL.md and stay
under the 200-file cap.

Fix: after git archive, 'zip -d' strips both directories from the
.skill bundle. git archive output is unchanged (Claude Code still
gets the full tarball on /plugin install).

Matt Van Horn f4a3cc104b fix: restore skills/ and .claude-plugin/ in plugin install tarball (#262)
Release / build-and-release (push) Has been cancelled
v3.0.1 added .gitattributes rules that excluded both directories from
git archive output, shrinking the claude.ai .skill bundle. But Claude
Code's /plugin install fetches the SAME archive, so users installing
v3.0.1 or v3.0.2 received a tarball with no plugin manifest and no
skill files. Install appeared successful but the plugin was a useless
empty shell.

Proof:
  git archive v3.0.0 | grep 'skills/|\.claude-plugin/' | wc -l  # 8
  git archive v3.0.1 | grep 'skills/|\.claude-plugin/' | wc -l  # 0
  git archive v3.0.2 | grep 'skills/|\.claude-plugin/' | wc -l  # 0

No issue reports yet because:
 - Cached pre-v3.0.1 installs keep working (it's the new-install path
   that's broken)
 - The breakage is under 24 hours old
 - Users invoking the skill via natural language go through
   skill-selector rather than /last30days slash command

Also reverts v3.0.2's "skills": ["skills"] back to "./", the value
that shipped in every tag from v2.1.0 through v3.0.0. That change was
a misdiagnosis; the manifest wasn't in the tarball anyway so it had
no effect on user-visible installs.

Archive file count after fix: 97 (cap is 200, plenty of room).
Follow-up: move claude.ai-specific bundle exclusions into
scripts/build-skill.sh where they belong, rather than .gitattributes
which cannot distinguish between the two distribution channels.

Matt Van Horn a220632186 fix: restore /last30days slash command on Claude Code v2.1.105+ (#261)
Release / build-and-release (push) Has been cancelled
Two regressions were silently breaking /last30days for every user:

1. plugin.json declared "skills": ["./"], which newer Claude Code
   rejects with "Path escapes plugin directory: ./ (skills)". The
   skill loader refused to register the command, so /last30days
   returned "Unknown command" even though /plugin list showed the
   plugin as installed. Fix: "skills": ["skills"] so the loader
   scans the real subdirectory.

2. marketplace.json pinned "version": "3.0.0" while plugin.json
   advertised "3.0.1". The /plugin resolver used the marketplace
   version and could install a phantom user-scope copy at a stale
   SHA alongside the correct project-scope install, creating
   duplicate skill-name collisions. Both manifests now agree on
   3.0.2.

Prior attempt: commit 93fbed2 fixed (1) before but got reverted.
This lands both fixes together in a tagged release so users can
/plugin update to recover.

Recovery for affected users is in CHANGELOG.md under 3.0.2.

Matt Van Horn 082efe03e3 feat: surface YouTube + TikTok top comments alongside Reddit (#260)
* feat(normalize): pass YouTube top_comments through with Reddit-compatible shape

_normalize_youtube silently dropped top_comments after enrich_with_comments
populated them, so the downstream signals/render/entity layers never saw
YouTube comments. Map likes->score and text->excerpt so the existing
Reddit-compatible readers Just Work.

Shared _remap_comments helper will be reused for TikTok in a later commit.

* feat(tiktok): fetch top comments via ScrapeCreators when opted in

Mirrors the youtube_comments pattern: new env.is_tiktok_comments_available
gate (requires SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY + tiktok_comments in INCLUDE_SOURCES),
tiktok.enrich_with_comments ranks posts and fetches via
GET /v1/tiktok/video/comments. Vote field is digg_count; text and user.nickname
come across verbatim. Pipeline calls the enricher right after TikTok search
when the gate is open.

Comment-fetch errors never crash the pipeline — the enricher returns an
empty list on 4xx/5xx.

* feat(normalize): pass TikTok top_comments through with digg_count->score mapping

Instagram uses the same shortform normalizer and has no comment fetcher
today, so the key is harmlessly absent there — no Instagram regression.

* feat(signals): add YouTube + TikTok top-comment score to engagement formula

Mirrors Reddit's 10% top-comment slot. Without top_comments present, the
formula reduces to views-dominant weighting; with a high-signal comment,
the item gets a meaningful bump (log1p(10k) ~ 9.2, weighted 0.10 = ~0.92
on the engagement score).

Updated the existing dominant-weight and missing-fields tests to the new
weights (0.45/0.32/0.13 for YT, 0.45/0.27/0.18 for TT). Views still dominate.

* feat(render): source-aware thresholds and vote labels for top comments

10 upvotes on Reddit signals community interest; 10 likes on a viral
TikTok is noise. Introduce per-source minimums (reddit 10, youtube 50,
tiktok 500) and native vote labels ('upvotes' for Reddit, 'likes' for
YT/TT). First-pass numbers — tune after live observation.

* docs: generalize top-comment quoting to YouTube + TikTok, add tiktok_comments opt-in

Synthesis instructions previously called out Reddit top comments only.
Now cover Reddit/YouTube/TikTok uniformly with source-appropriate vote
labels (upvotes vs likes), and explicitly frame YT transcript highlights
and comments as complementary signals. README and setup-wizard copy
document the new tiktok_comments INCLUDE_SOURCES token.

clearing the claude.ai skill-upload 200-file cap.

Matt Van Horn 01812ec185 fix(sync): skip OpenClaw variant branch when variants/open is absent (#222)
Makes the `variants/open/` sync steps in `scripts/sync.sh` conditional on
the directory actually existing in the source tree. The script is shared
between the public and private repos of last30days-skill, but the OpenClaw
variant only lives in the private repo (it's sanitized via
`strip_for_openclaw.py` and published separately to ClawhHub). When the
script runs from a checkout of the public repo, the variants/open paths
don't exist and the unconditional `rsync` and `sync_target` calls error
out immediately.

Changes:

- `sync_target()` now only creates `variants/open/references` and rsyncs
  `variants/open/` when `$SRC/variants/open` exists.
- The trailing `sync_target "$OPENCLAW_TARGET" ...` call is now gated by
  the same check, with an explanatory skip message when the directory is
  absent.

No behavior change when running from the private repo (which has
`variants/open/`). When running from the public repo, the script now
completes its COMMON_TARGETS loop without erroring.

This also closes out the confusion from PR #211, where a contributor saw
the broken `variants/open/` reference and tried to add the variant back
to the public repo. The real fix was making the script tolerate the
absence, not recreating the directory.

Matt Van Horn 6e7c0ba7aa docs(v3): prep CHANGELOG and release notes for v3.0.0 (#220)
Rewrites release-notes.md from its stale v2.9.1 focus into the v3
story: intelligent pre-research as the killer feature, fun judge /
Best Takes, cross-source cluster merging, single-pass comparisons,
GitHub person-mode and project-mode, 13+ sources, ELI5 mode. Credits
@j-sperling as the v3 engine architect in the hero section and
updates the install instructions from `git clone` to the real install
paths for Claude Code, OpenClaw, and OpenAI Codex CLI.

Also extends the CHANGELOG [3.0.0] entry with a Fixed section covering
the two post-merge prep fixes that landed just before release:

- #214 resolved a duplicate `name: last30days` collision in
  skills/last30days/SKILL.md that caused strict marketplace validators
  to reject the plugin (reported by @Cody-Coyote in #204)
- #219 added the real Codex CLI integration at
  .agents/skills/last30days/SKILL.md (regular file, since Codex's
  loader skips symlinked files) plus .codex-plugin/plugin.json as the
  namespace marker (inspired by @Jah-yee in #153 and @dannyshmueli
  on X)

Bumps the [3.0.0] date from `2026-04` to `2026-04-11` to match the
actual release date, and adds @Cody-Coyote and @Jah-yee to the
[3.0.0] Contributors list.

No code changes. Pure docs prep for the v3.0.0 GitHub release.

Matt Van Horn 71e0492840 feat: make skill discoverable by OpenAI Codex CLI (#219)
Adds a Codex CLI skill integration by creating the two files Codex's real
loader actually reads:

- .agents/skills/last30days/SKILL.md (real file, not a symlink - Codex's
  loader skips symlinked files per codex-rs/core-skills/src/loader.rs)
- .codex-plugin/plugin.json with {"name": "last30days"} as a namespace
  marker, per codex-rs/utils/plugins/src/plugin_namespace.rs

When Codex CLI runs in a checkout of this repo, it walks .agents/skills/
from CWD up to the project root, picks up .agents/skills/last30days/SKILL.md,
and walks ancestors looking for .codex-plugin/plugin.json to resolve the
plugin namespace. The skill registers as last30days:last30days.

The SKILL.md is a verbatim copy of the root SKILL.md at this point to
avoid content drift during the rollout. A future PR can slim the Codex copy
or introduce a sync mechanism.

Verified against Codex CLI's own source by running codex exec from the
repo CWD and having it trace the loader logic.

Replaces PR #153, which used a fake $schema URL
(https://openai.com/codex/plugin.schema.json returns 404) and put a
misunderstanding of Codex's plugin manifest (Codex only reads the `name`
field - all other fields like version, description, author, skills[] are
silently ignored).

gujishh 8b2cf41f13 fix: align v3 version metadata and sync target 2026-04-11 21:00:04 +09:00
george231224 3d57db9644 fix: use GNU stat first in check_perms so Linux doesn't false-warn
`stat -f '%Lp'` is BSD/macOS syntax. On Linux, `stat -f` prints
filesystem info (Block size / Inodes / ...) and still exits 0, so the
`||` fallback to `stat -c '%a'` never fires. That left `$perms` as
multi-line garbage, the `!= "600"` check was always true, and every
Linux SessionStart hook invocation printed a bogus warning plus the
whole `stat -f` filesystem dump.

Reorder to try GNU stat first, fall back to BSD for macOS. Verified on
Linux (cpython-3.12 / bash 5.x) — hook now emits the expected compact
Ready banner with no false warning.

Matt Van Horn 99b167d03a fix: resolve duplicate skill name causing marketplace validation failure (#204) (#214)
Two SKILL.md files declared `name: last30days` with `user-invocable: true`,
which caused strict marketplace validators to reject the plugin with "Some
plugins in this marketplace have validation errors":

- ./SKILL.md (canonical, also reachable via skills/last30days-nux/ symlink)
- ./skills/last30days/SKILL.md (v3 architecture spec, real file)

In v2.9.6, skills/last30days/SKILL.md was a symlink to ../../SKILL.md so
only one skill existed. Commit 0a9ff16 (v3.0.0) added a new real file at
skills/last30days-v3/SKILL.md, and commit 9be0780 then renamed that
directory to skills/last30days/, replacing the original symlink with a
different real file. The collision has been live since v3.0.0 shipped.

This change:
- Renames skills/last30days/SKILL.md to name: last30days-v3-spec and sets
  user-invocable: false. The file stays in place as internal architecture
  documentation, but it no longer competes with the canonical skill.
- Fixes README.md link that pointed to the deleted skills/last30days-v3/
  path (left over from the rename).
- Removes a stale variants/open/SKILL.md reference (variants/open was
  deleted in v3.0.0).

After the change, only one canonical name=last30days user-invocable=true
skill exists (the root SKILL.md, also reachable via the
skills/last30days-nux/ symlink, same inode).

Closes #204.

github.py _parse_date used naive string slicing (return iso_str[:10])
which accepted any 10+ character string as a "date." For input
"hello world" it returned "hello worl". Now delegates to
dates.parse_date() which validates the format and returns None for
non-dates.

Also migrated reddit.py and threads.py _parse_date to the shared
dates.parse_date(). Both previously reimplemented ISO-with-trailing-
offset handling (the .replace("Z", "+00:00") dance) and reddit.py
also had its own Unix timestamp branch. dates.parse_date() already
handles all of this, including the +0000 no-colon variant Reddit emits.

Preserved reddit.py's original falsy-check so 0 still returns None
(epoch 0 would otherwise parse as "1970-01-01", breaking an existing
test and changing long-standing behavior).

Added 4 new github tests for garbage rejection and offset variants.
All 1026 existing tests pass (15 pre-existing failures unchanged).

Ilia Alshanetsky 9ef9d38b90 refactor(reddit): migrate to http.get(params=...) helper
Added params kwarg to http.request()/http.get() that urlencodes a dict
into the query string. None values are dropped, ints and bools are
stringified, and params append correctly if the URL already has a
query string.

Migrated reddit.py to use this helper for all three ScrapeCreators
call sites (global search, subreddit search, post comments). Deleted
the try/import requests/except ImportError fallback and the paired
if not _requests: / else: branches. Six new http tests cover the
params-encoding behavior.

Net: reddit.py -70 lines. Behavior is identical - the existing http.py
urllib implementation already had retry logic, 429 handling, and
HTTPError types that are strictly better than the ad-hoc requests
branches we deleted.

99 reddit tests pass. Live smoke test on a real ScrapeCreators run
returned 12 threads with the same engagement data as before.

Ilia Alshanetsky eef3547c37 perf: optimize dedup, parallelize handle searches and enrichment
The dedup hot path recomputed normalize_text() 4 times per comparison
and recomputed item_text() on every inner-loop iteration. Pre-computing
n-gram sets and token sets into a _PreparedText cache cuts dedup time
by 6x (2.16s to 0.39s on 300 unique items).

Bird handle searches spawned one Node process per handle sequentially.
Now uses ThreadPoolExecutor so N handles run concurrently. Same pattern
applied to YouTube comment enrichment (was serial, Reddit was already
parallel) and the retry-thin-sources phase in the pipeline.

Clustering now pre-computes candidate text and uses prepared_similarity
for the O(n^2) grouping and MMR representative selection loops.

Minor: _is_wsl() cached with lru_cache, Bundle.add_items() uses
extend() instead of list concatenation.

End-to-end: 5.2s -> 3.7s (29% faster) on a typical 4-source query.

Ilia Alshanetsky 252c8222f1 feat: add WSL2 Windows Firefox cookie extraction for X auth
On WSL2, native Linux Firefox typically has no x.com cookies since users
browse in Windows. Chromium browsers (Edge, Chrome, Brave) encrypt cookies
with DPAPI/app-bound encryption, making them inaccessible without admin
privileges. Windows Firefox stores cookies unencrypted in SQLite, readable
directly through the /mnt/c mount.

The cookie extractor now detects WSL2 via /proc/version, locates Windows
Firefox profiles under /mnt/c/Users/*/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox,
and falls back to them when Linux Firefox yields no results. Reports
source as "firefox-wsl" to distinguish from native.

Also fixes profile resolution priority: Install* sections (Firefox >= 67)
now take precedence over the legacy Default=1 flag, which could select a
stale profile on multi-profile installations.

Trevin Chow 5896c9582b fix(tests): isolate env in resolve_google_judge_api_key test
The second assertion in test_resolve_google_judge_api_key_prefers_google_key
ran outside the mock.patch.dict context. When GOOGLE_API_KEY or GEMINI_API_KEY
is set in the real environment, os.environ takes precedence over the config
dict fallback and the test fails.

Wrap the assertion in its own mock.patch.dict scope that clears the three
relevant env vars so the test passes regardless of the developer's env.

- tests/test_xquik.py: 32 unit tests covering all functions
- env.py: XQUIK_API_KEY config and availability check
- pipeline.py: source registration and retrieve dispatch
- normalize.py: reuses _normalize_x (same item format as Bird)

Matt Van Horn 0c6358ab98 fix(bluesky): surface real error instead of misleading "auth failed"
When Cloudflare blocks requests to bsky.social or public.api.bsky.app
with a 403, the error was swallowed by a generic except clause and
reported as "Bluesky auth failed" - misleading users into thinking
their credentials were wrong.

Now _create_session() preserves the specific error in _session_error,
and search_bluesky() surfaces it. Cloudflare 403s get a clear message
about network-level blocks. Actual 401s say "Invalid credentials".

Closes #69

Jeffrey Sperling b489663450 Loosen source tiering for usage queries
Classify prompting and animation queries as how_to so the stack does not treat them as generic breaking news. Also keep X available for how_to and preserve YouTube/HN coverage for breaking-news and prediction queries.

Validated with uv run python -m unittest tests.test_query_type and the five-query local comparison run used for PR #65 review.

  for testability
- Add BlueskyItem/TruthSocialItem to sort_items() type hint (was missing despite
  being in _ITEM_SOURCE_MAP)

Jeffrey Sperling 036bcd2ae3 Address review feedback: deduplicate query_type, clean unused imports, fix defaults
- Remove duplicate detect_query_type from query.py (divergent 5-type version);
  canonical 7-type version lives in query_type.py
- Fix reddit.py import to use query_type.detect_query_type
- Clean unused STOPWORDS/SYNONYMS/tokenize imports from youtube_yt, instagram,
  tiktok, scrapecreators_x, bird_x after relevance consolidation
- Fix _relevance_filter default from 0.7 to 0.0 (items without relevance
  should not silently pass the filter)
- Remove --dateafter from yt-dlp (returns 0 results for evergreen topics)
- Remove restrictSearchableAttributes from HN search (misses Ask/Show HN)
- Lower HN points filter from >5 to >2 (avoids filtering niche posts)
- Add error logging to select_openai_model HTTP failures
- Remove mise.toml and internal planning doc from repo
- Update module docstrings to describe current purpose, not migration history

Jeffrey Sperling 6c402f66b7 Update plan to reflect single upstream PR strategy 2026-03-11 18:32:45 -07:00
Jeffrey Sperling 046795c4ae Add post-retrieval relevance filtering across all sources
Filter items with relevance < 0.3 per source after dedup, but only
when list has >3 items. Extends the Reddit-only minimum-result
guarantee to all sources: keeps top 3 by relevance if all filtered.

This works with the computed relevance scores from the previous commit
to actually remove off-topic results from the final report.
2026-03-11 18:32:45 -07:00
Jeffrey Sperling 1002f1f020 Add platform-specific query optimizations
- hackernews: use extract_core_subject instead of raw topic, add
  points>5 filter and restrictSearchableAttributes=title to reduce
  noise from URL-match and low-signal posts
- youtube: add --dateafter parameter to yt-dlp for server-side date
  filtering (Python soft filter still handles fallback)
- reddit: skip opinion/review query variant for how_to/comparison
  queries where it adds noise
- bird_x: add OR-group retry with compound terms before falling back
  to word-dropping (uses X OR operator for multi-concept queries)
- query.py: add detect_query_type() and extract_compound_terms()
2026-03-11 18:32:45 -07:00
Jeffrey Sperling c5be117701 Replace hardcoded 0.7 relevance with computed token-overlap scores
- bird_x: parse_bird_response now accepts query param and computes
  token_overlap_relevance against tweet text
- reddit: _normalize_post computes relevance from query vs title+selftext
- hackernews: blends 60% Algolia rank + 40% token overlap + engagement

This makes the 45%-weight relevance factor in score.py actually
differentiate results instead of being a constant.

Jeffrey Sperling 96948cc7c0 Deduplicate relevance code across youtube/tiktok/instagram/scrapecreators_x
Replace duplicated STOPWORDS, SYNONYMS, _tokenize, and _compute_relevance
in four modules with imports from the shared relevance.py module.

Existing tests pass unchanged since modules re-export the functions
under the same names via import aliases.
2026-03-11 18:32:45 -07:00
Jeffrey Sperling dc88c215be Integrate shared query.py into per-source modules
Replace duplicated _extract_core_subject() in bird_x, reddit, youtube_yt,
tiktok, instagram, bluesky, and scrapecreators_x with thin wrappers that
delegate to query.extract_core_subject() with platform-specific noise sets.

Each module preserves its current behavior exactly:
- bird_x: max_words=5, strip_suffixes=True, full noise set
- youtube_yt: keeps tips/tricks/tutorial/guide/review (content types)
- reddit: preserves original smaller noise set
- tiktok/instagram: same small noise set
- bluesky/scrapecreators_x: minimal noise set

Existing tests pass without modification since _extract_core_subject()
still exists as a callable on each module.
2026-03-11 18:32:45 -07:00
Jeffrey Sperling fa42a5d031 Add urllib fallback for TikTok/Instagram when requests unavailable
Previously tiktok.py and instagram.py returned an error when the
requests library was not installed. Reddit already had an http.get()
fallback using stdlib urllib. Apply the same pattern so all three
ScrapeCreators modules work without requests installed.
2026-03-11 18:32:45 -07:00
Jeffrey Sperling d667586597 Add shared query.py and relevance.py modules
Consolidate duplicated _extract_core_subject() (7 copies across bird_x,
reddit, youtube_yt, tiktok, instagram, bluesky, scrapecreators_x) into
query.extract_core_subject() with parameterized noise set, max_words,
and suffix stripping.

Consolidate duplicated _tokenize/_compute_relevance/STOPWORDS/SYNONYMS
(4 copies across youtube_yt, tiktok, instagram, scrapecreators_x) into
relevance.token_overlap_relevance() with hashtag-aware matching.

Integration into per-module imports follows in next commits.

- Log HTTPError in select_openai_model instead of silent fallback
- Remove overly broad 'or.*for' from comparison regex (false positives)

2026-03-11 18:32:37 -07:00
Jeffrey Sperling 588cff3e00 Optimize model selection for cost-efficiency on structured extraction
The task profile is search tool invocation + JSON extraction — not
reasoning or creative work. Mini models handle this equally well at
3-5x lower cost per call.

OpenAI changes:
- Rename is_mainline_openai_model -> is_search_capable_model
- Include mini variants (gpt-5-mini, gpt-4.1-mini) in candidate pool
- Exclude gpt-4o-mini (no domain filtering) and nano (no web_search)
- select_openai_model() now prefers mini within newest generation
- OPENAI_FALLBACK_MODELS: gpt-5-mini first, mainline as last resort
- MODEL_FALLBACK_ORDER: same mini-first ordering

xAI changes:
- Switch alias from grok-4-1-fast (reasoning) to
  grok-4-1-fast-non-reasoning — same token price, faster response,
  no wasted reasoning tokens for structured extraction

Cost per Reddit search call: ~$0.015 (gpt-5-mini) vs ~$0.044 (gpt-4.1)

Brave's /res/v1/llm/context returns pre-extracted text chunks
optimized for LLM consumption instead of URLs + short snippets.
Enable with BRAVE_LLM_CONTEXT=1 env var; same API key and pricing.

- Add _search_llm_context() and _normalize_llm_context() to brave_search.py
- Wire opt-in flag through _search_web() in last30days.py
- Update module docstring (free tier eliminated Feb 2026)
- Add 23 tests covering normalization, filtering, date parsing

2026-03-11 18:04:43 -07:00
Jeffrey Sperling ef7c0f05dd Add query-type-aware source tiering and scoring
Detect query type (product/concept/opinion/how_to/comparison/breaking_news/
prediction) via lightweight regex patterns and use it for:

1. Source selection: each query type has tier-1 (always run) and tier-2
   (run if available) sources. Unlisted sources are opt-in only.
   Truth Social is always opt-in regardless of query type.

2. WebSearch penalty: varies by query type instead of flat -15pt.
   Concept queries get 0 penalty (web docs are authoritative),
   how_to gets 5pt, breaking_news gets 10pt, product/opinion get 15pt.

3. Tiebreaker ordering: source priority varies by query type.
   YouTube ranks first for how_to, Polymarket for prediction,
   HN for concept queries, X for breaking news.

All changes are backward-compatible: callers that don't pass query_type
get the original behavior (15pt penalty, Reddit > X > YouTube tiebreaker).
2026-03-11 18:04:43 -07:00
Jeffrey Sperling e568ef8af9 Revert MODEL_FALLBACK_ORDER to upstream values
Model optimization (mini-first fallback, is_search_capable_model) belongs

Also fixes pre-existing test bug where test asserted gpt-4o was first in
MODEL_FALLBACK_ORDER when it was actually gpt-4.1.

- Instagram: migrate /v1/ to /v2/ ScrapeCreators endpoint (v1 deprecated Feb 2026)
- OpenAI: switch fallback chain to [gpt-5-mini, gpt-4.1-mini, gpt-4.1] (8x cheaper,
  gpt-5-mini is the first mini model supporting web_search with filters.allowed_domains)
- xAI: use explicit grok-4-1-fast-non-reasoning (bare name aliases to reasoning variant)
- xAI: pass from_date/to_date natively to x_search tool config instead of prompt-only
- Polymarket: correct rate limit comment (15K/10s, not 350/10s)
2026-03-11 16:42:49 -07:00

- test_codex_auth: expect 'reddit' not 'web' when no API keys (Reddit
  is available via public JSON fallback)
- test_truthsocial: convert from pytest-style classes to unittest.TestCase,

CRITICAL: run_in_background callbacks caused model to re-engage after
save, hallucinate fake "Human:" messages, and generate unsolicited
multi-paragraph responses. Switch to foreground cat > heredoc which
executes sub-second with no callback.

Matt Van Horn 5b1636f94f fix: merge upstream save fix (background Bash instead of Write tool)
Resolves merge conflict, keeping upstream's approach:
- Background heredoc save instead of Write tool
- Adds 📎 footer line
- No more "Wrote N lines..." cluttering output

Matt Van Horn 18f6273f7c fix: save research silently via background Bash, not Write tool
The Write tool displays "Wrote N lines..." after the invitation,
ruining the end-of-run experience. Now saves via background Bash
with a subtle 📎 footer line in the invitation text.

Matt Van Horn f6a1769e35 feat(skill): auto-save research results to ~/Documents/Last30Days/
Every run now automatically saves the complete briefing (synthesis,
stats, follow-up suggestions) as a topic-named .md file in the user's
Documents folder. Agent mode also saves. No Python script changes -
this is purely a SKILL.md instruction addition.

Inspired by @devin_explores manually saving results to build a
personal research library.

# last30days Skill
Agent Skills package for researching any topic across Reddit, X, YouTube, and web. Installable across Claude Code (most common host), Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and 50+ other [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io) hosts. Python scripts with multi-source search aggregation.
## Structure
- `skills/last30days/SKILL.md` — canonical skill definition
- `skills/last30days/scripts/last30days.py` — main research engine
- `skills/last30days/scripts/lib/` — search, enrichment, rendering modules
- `skills/last30days/scripts/lib/vendor/bird-search/` — vendored X search client
- `docs/solutions/` — documented solutions to past problems (bugs, best practices, workflow patterns), organized by category with YAML frontmatter (`module`, `tags`, `problem_type`)
- `CONCEPTS.md` — shared domain vocabulary (Skill, Engine, Harness, Beta channel) — relevant when orienting to the codebase or discussing project terminology
## Orientation
- This is an Agent Skills package, not a CLI tool. The product is the slash-command-invoked skill (`/last30days <topic>` in most harnesses); `scripts/last30days.py` is implementation. Claude Code is the most common host but not the only one — features must work across every harness the skill installs into.
- Feature design starts from the slash-command UX. A new engine flag with no SKILL.md integration is incomplete — the model invoking the skill won't know the flag exists.
- README and PR examples show `/last30days <topic>` first. Direct CLI invocation (`python3 scripts/last30days.py ...`) is a fallback for scripting, cron, and dev-time engine testing; label it as such, never as the primary path.
- Slash commands don't pass shell mechanics through. `/last30days OpenClaw --emit=html | pbcopy` is invalid in any harness — either use the slash form (no flags or pipes; let the model translate user intent into engine flags) or use the direct CLI form (full `python3 ...` with explicit flags and a real shell).
## Commands
```bash
# Dev/fallback: direct engine invocation (scripting, cron, or engine testing only)
python3 skills/last30days/scripts/last30days.py "test query" --emit=compact
npx skills add . -g -y # one-time: symlink this repo into every detected harness's skill dir
## Rules
- `lib/__init__.py` must be bare package marker (comment only, NO eager imports)
- One-time setup: `npx skills add . -g -y` creates symlinks from each detected harness's skill dir to this repo. Edits in the working tree propagate live to every harness — no re-deploy step needed.
- Git remote: origin = public (`mvanhorn/last30days-skill`)
## Security hygiene
- Never commit real API keys, browser cookies, auth tokens, app passwords, access tokens, or `.env` contents.
- Use the env-based auth patterns in `skills/last30days/scripts/lib/env.py`; tests and fixtures must use obvious dummy values only.
- Keep examples safe by redacting secrets and avoiding copy/pasteable live credentials in docs, fixtures, and test data.
- Do not weaken or disable the advisory security workflow (`.github/workflows/security.yml`) without explaining why in the PR description or review thread.
## Beta channel
Experimental changes get tested on `mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private`, which installs as a parallel `/last30days-beta` slash command. Beta-only changes never ship to public without a review PR here. Workflow guide lives at `BETA.md` in the private repo. Plan that established this setup: `docs/plans/2026-04-17-005-feat-beta-skill-from-private-repo-plan.md`.

## [Unreleased]
### Added
- `LAST30DAYS_YOUTUBE_SSH_HOST` env var: when set, yt-dlp YouTube search invocations are routed through `ssh <host>` for residential-IP egress. Bypasses YouTube's bot-wall on datacenter IPs (Hetzner/DigitalOcean/AWS) where `ytsearch:` returns 0 results regardless of cookies (the IP fingerprint is checked first). The named host must be configured in `~/.ssh/config` and have yt-dlp installed. Host value is validated against `^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+$` to reject SSH option-injection (e.g. a leading `-` masquerading as a flag). The transcript path is unchanged (uses the existing HTTP fallback when SSH-routing is on, since the timedtext API isn't bot-walled).
### Changed
- Replace the SKILL_ROOT resolver loops in Step 1 and comparison-mode with a single `SKILL_DIR` substitution pattern. The model templates the absolute path of the SKILL.md's own directory (which it always knows from the Read tool result); the bash block just validates that `scripts/last30days.py` lives there. Removes ~80 lines of bash across the two locations. Fixes a real bug: the previous resolver could pick a different install than the SKILL.md the model loaded from (spec-vs-engine divergence) and didn't enumerate harnesses like Hermes at all. The simplification works for any harness without enumeration because it just uses wherever SKILL.md was loaded from. STEP 0's marketplaces-stale-clone hop is unchanged.
- Rename "Digg AI 1000" to just "Digg" in user-facing output (footer line, source label, inline-quote suffix, why_relevant, container attribution). Internal references to the upstream Digg AI 1000 product remain in code comments and docstrings.
- Bump `POSTS_PER_CLUSTER` from 3 to 5 and the render-side display limit from 2 to 3 to match the per-source enrichment caps used by Reddit, HN, YouTube, TikTok, and GitHub. The previous 3/2 caps routinely truncated cluster context (e.g. dropped a Jason Calacanis quote tweet on a `cli-printing-press` run).
- Rewrite SKILL.md path resolution. STEP 0 narrows from a global canonical-path enforcement to a Claude-Code-marketplaces-only stale-clone guard. Step 1 SKILL_ROOT resolver walks a single precedence list (Claude plugin cache, then `~/.codex/skills/`, `~/.agents/skills/`, repo checkout, `./.skills/last30days` for `npx skills add`, CWD, Gemini). Adds SKILL.md frontmatter fallback to `render.py::_skill_version` so the badge no longer prints `v?` on installs that don't include `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`.
- Switch SKILL.md's `--plan` and `--competitors-plan` invocation templates from inline single-quoted JSON to heredoc-written tmpfiles. Apostrophes in resolved context strings ("McDonald's", "people's choice", "developer's") previously closed the outer single-quote and broke shell parsing before the engine started — observed in a Codex run during PR #400 testing. The engine's `parse_plan()` / `parse_competitors_plan()` already supported file paths (via `os.path.isfile()` probe); only the template prose changed. Fixes [#403](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/issues/403).
### Removed
- **BREAKING for Codex native-plugin users:** `.codex-plugin/plugin.json` and the matching SKILL_ROOT resolver branch in SKILL.md Step 1. Codex users should install via `npx skills add mvanhorn/last30days-skill` or copy the skill to `~/.codex/skills/last30days/`.
- **`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.
## [3.2.0] - 2026-05-09
### Added
- Add `--emit=html` for shareable, print-friendly HTML research briefs.
- **Digg AI 1000 source** (auto-enabled when `digg-pp-cli` is on PATH). Surfaces curated story clusters from the AI 1000 leaderboard and pulls attributable X-post quotes into the brief as `[@handle](xUrl) via Digg AI 1000: ...` lines. Footer line: `⛏️ Digg AI 1000: N clusters │ K posts │ M authors`. No X auth required for the inline quotes since they flow through Digg's read-only endpoints.
## [3.1.1] - 2026-04-24
### Fixed
- **Codex plugin layout.** Move the canonical runtime payload under `skills/last30days/` and update Codex/Claude plugin metadata and tests for the relocated engine path.
- **Claude Code cache resolution.** Resolve Claude plugin installs to `skills/last30days/scripts/last30days.py` after the plugin-layout restructure.
## [3.1.0] - 2026-04-22
Consolidates the 3.0.10 to 3.0.14 dev cycle (commenter handles, `--competitors`, per-entity Step 0.55, vs-mode N passes, comparison title attribution) and republishes the OpenClaw bundle, which had been frozen on ClawHub at `3.0.0-open` since April 8.
### Added
- **OpenClaw republish.** `clawhub install last30days-official` now resolves to `3.1.0-open`, matching current main. Closes [#307](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/issues/307), [#195](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/issues/195), [#236](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/issues/236). The ClawHub bundle had shipped a broken `env.py get_config()` and stale SKILL.md path references since April; both are fixed at source on main and the republish carries the fixes to installers.
### Fixed
- **Claude Code plugin manifest path-escape.** The `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` `skills` key was removed in commit `93fbed2` but never shipped in a tagged release. Installing via `/plugin install last30days-skill` could hit `/doctor`'s `Path escapes plugin directory: ./ (skills)` error. This release ships the fix. Closes [#306](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/issues/306).
- **Broken README link.** The README's "source of truth" link pointed at `skills/last30days/SKILL.md`, a path that does not exist. Fixed to point at root `SKILL.md`.
### Dev cycle journal (3.0.10 - 3.0.14, not separately tagged)
Individual changelog entries for 3.0.10 through 3.0.14 below document the incremental work consolidated into this release.
## [3.0.14] - 2026-04-22
### Changed
- **Comparison-mode title attribution.** The synthesis title for vs-mode and `--competitors` outputs changes from `What the Community Says (Last 30 Days)` to `What the Community Says (/Last30Days)`. Surfaces the slash-command identity instead of restating the date range. Three SKILL.md occurrences updated; pure documentation change.
## [3.0.13] - 2026-04-22
### Changed
- **vs mode runs N full passes in parallel, one per entity.** Architectural revert of the 3-pass → 1-pass latency optimization from an earlier version. `/last30days "OpenAI vs Anthropic vs xAI"` now runs three full `pipeline.run()` calls in parallel via the same fanout `--competitors` uses, producing three `*-raw.md` save files plus a merged comparison output. Each entity gets its own Step 0.55-grade targeting, own primary X handle weight, own subreddit scoping — apples-to-apples depth instead of the one-pool merged retrieval the single-pass path produced. Parallel execution keeps wall clock ≈ single pass.
- **`--competitors` is now a SKILL.md-level shortcut for vs-mode with auto-discovery.** The hosting reasoning model (Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, Gemini, any agent with WebSearch) performs discovery and Step 0.55 per entity via its own WebSearch tool, then invokes the engine with a vs-topic and `--competitors-plan` JSON. The engine flag remains for headless/cron use with BRAVE/EXA/SERPER/PARALLEL/OPENROUTER keys (engine-internal `auto_resolve` stays as fallback).
- **LAW 7-style stderr for `--competitors` with no backend** now leads with the hosting-model path (WebSearch + Step 0.55 + `--competitors-plan`) instead of `BRAVE_API_KEY`. API-key framing moved to a secondary "headless" section.
### Added
- **`--competitors-plan` JSON flag** for per-entity Step 0.55 targeting. Schema: `{entity_name: {x_handle?, x_related?, subreddits?, github_user?, github_repos?, context?}}`. Accepts inline JSON or a file path (matches `--plan`). When present for an entity, skips engine-internal `auto_resolve` and uses the provided values; missing fields fall back to `auto_resolve` (if backend) or planner defaults. Case-insensitive entity matching. The `subrun_kwargs_for` helper is the single source of truth for per-entity kwargs — no closure-default fallthrough from main scope.
- **Per-entity save files** when `--save-dir` is set on a vs-mode or `--competitors` run. Each entity's sub-run produces its own `{slug}-raw.md` with a single-row Resolved Entities block — matches historical vs-mode behavior (N passes → N save files).
- **`--polymarket-keywords "kw1,kw2"`** to filter Polymarket matches for ambiguous single-token topics (e.g., "Warriors" → `nba,gsw,golden-state` kills Glasgow Warriors rugby and Honor of Kings Rogue Warriors noise).
### Fixed
- **BRAVE/SERPER footer nudge suppressed** when `--plan` or `--competitors-plan` is present. The nudge told Claude Code users to set an API key when they already have WebSearch via the hosting model. Nudge still fires for true headless runs (no `--plan`, no backend) where the advice is correct.
- **Override-leak regression testing.** 3.0.12 already fixed the main-topic `--subreddits` / `--x-handle` / `--github-*` from leaking into peer sub-runs via explicit per-entity kwargs scrubbing. This release adds a 4-test regression suite (`test_competitor_subrun_isolation.py`) locking in the invariant.
## [3.0.12] - 2026-04-22
### Fixed
- **Per-entity Step 0.55 resolution for competitor sub-runs.** In 3.0.11, only the main topic got X handle / subreddit / GitHub resolution; competitor sub-runs ran with planner defaults and produced visibly thinner evidence (Reddit 403 fallbacks, single-word queries). Each competitor sub-run now calls `resolve.auto_resolve()` inside `fanout.run_competitor_fanout` when a web backend is available, mirroring the main topic's pre-flight resolution. Per-entity X handle, subreddit list, GitHub user/repos, and news context are threaded into each sub-run's `pipeline.run()` call. Deep-copied config per sub-run prevents `_auto_resolve_context` cross-leak. Surfaces in a new `## Resolved Entities` output block so the resolution coverage is visible without reading stderr.
- **LAW 7 false-positive on internal fan-out sub-runs.** Each competitor sub-run was emitting the `[Planner] No --plan passed... YOU ARE the planner` stderr warning. LAW 7 targets the hosting-reasoning-model path, not engine-internal fan-out. New `internal_subrun=True` keyword on `planner.plan_query` and `pipeline.run` suppresses the warning for sub-runs only; the default path is unchanged.
- **Marketplace-stale SKILL.md trap.** Added a STEP 0 canonical-path self-check at the top of SKILL.md. Two of three 2026-04-22 test runs loaded SKILL.md from `plugins/marketplaces/last30days-skill/` (Claude-Code-managed git clone pinned to origin/main, lagging the versioned cache), then ran `--help` against the same stale path, did not see `--competitors`, and fell back to a manual comparison plan. The STEP 0 block forces any reader to verify they loaded from `plugins/cache/last30days-skill/last30days/{VERSION}/SKILL.md` and re-read from the versioned cache if not.
### Changed
- **Default `--competitors` count is now 2 (3-way total: original + 2 peers).** Previously 3. `--competitors=N` still customizes (range 1..6). Matches the feature description's canonical example (`Kanye vs Drake vs Kendrick`).
### Added
- **`## Resolved Entities` block** in `render_comparison_multi` output. Shows per-entity X handle, subreddits, GitHub user/repos, and truncated context for every entity in the comparison. Block is omitted entirely when no entity has a resolved payload (mock mode, no backend).
## [3.0.11] - 2026-04-22
### Added
- **`--competitors` flag for auto-discovered comparison fan-out.** Pass `--competitors` on a single-entity topic and the engine discovers 2-6 peer entities via web search, then runs the full pipeline on each in parallel and emits one N-way comparison. `last30days Kanye West --competitors` resolves Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and one more peer. `last30days OpenAI --competitors` resolves Anthropic, xAI, Google Gemini. `--competitors=N` controls count, `--competitors-list="A,B,C"` skips discovery and uses the explicit list. Discovery mirrors the `auto_resolve` pattern (Brave / Exa / Serper / Parallel) with deterministic text extraction - no internal LLM call. Sub-runs inherit the main `--quick`/`--deep`/`--days`, run in a `ThreadPoolExecutor`, and degrade gracefully when at least 2 entities survive. Output reuses the existing 9-axis `## Head-to-Head` scaffold.
## [3.0.10] - 2026-04-21
### Added
- **Commenter handles on evidence lines.** Top-comment rendering now includes the commenter's handle - `u/author` for Reddit, `@handle` for TikTok/YouTube/Instagram/Bluesky/X/Threads. The enrichment adapters already captured `author`; the render layer just was not using it. Evidence lines change from `- Comment (6822 upvotes): Finally, John Apple` to `- u/Cyrisaurus (6822 upvotes): Finally, John Apple`. Person-level citations make synthesis-side inline markdown links per LAW 8 much more natural. Both the compact and full render paths are covered.
### Fixed
- **TikTok author preference.** `_fetch_post_comments` in `scripts/lib/tiktok.py` preferred `user.nickname` over `user.unique_id`, so the engine captured display names ("Moosa Noormahomed") instead of @handles ("moosanoormahomed"). Flipped to prefer `unique_id`. Nickname still wins as a fallback when `unique_id` is missing. Display names can contain emoji, spaces, and non-Latin characters that do not round-trip to a profile URL; the @handle is the stable identifier.
- **Single plugin payload layout.** The canonical runtime moved to `skills/last30days/` for both Claude Code and Codex plugin loading. Root-level `SKILL.md`, `scripts/`, `agents/`, and `assets/` are no longer maintained as duplicate copies.
### Behavior fallback
- When an author is empty, `[deleted]`, or `[removed]`, the render falls back to the legacy `Comment (...)` shape - no `u/` or `@` prefix with an empty handle is ever emitted.
## [3.0.9] - 2026-04-18 - The Self-Debug Release
### Highlights
v3.0.9 adds the engine-side Class 1 keyword-trap refuse-gate ("birthday gift for 40 year old" now gets a clarifying question, not 5 minutes of junk), promotes TikTok and YouTube top comments to the same first-class rendering Reddit's got, lands Hermes AI Agent as a first-class deploy target, and moves the SKILL.md formatting contract from line 1094 to the top of the file.
"The Self-Debug Release" refers to how the fixes in 3.0.6-3.0.9 were written: 5 separate Opus 4.7 instances each debugged their own failed outputs. Three converged on "SKILL.md is too big and the LAWs are too deep." Two converged on "the engine should refuse demographic-shopping queries." I shipped exactly what they said. Validation: 5/5 canonical compliance.
### Added
- **Engine Class 1 keyword-trap refuse-gate** (`scripts/lib/preflight.py`, new). Pattern-matches demographic-shopping queries at main() front-door. Exit code 2 with structured REFUSE message. Escape hatch: `LAST30DAYS_SKIP_PREFLIGHT=1`. 29 tests in `tests/test_preflight.py`.
- **TikTok + YouTube top comments** rendered with same `💬 Top comment` prominence as Reddit's. Shipped in [#260](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/pull/260); enrichment fixed in [#265](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/pull/265).
- **Hermes AI Agent as a deploy target** - thanks @stephenmcconnachie ([#228](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/pull/228)). `scripts/sync.sh` detects `~/.hermes/skills/research` and deploys automatically.
- **Multi-key SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY rotation** - thanks @zaydiscold ([#268](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/pull/268)). Set `SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY_1`, `_2`, etc. Engine rotates on rate-limit.
- **Offline quality evaluation fixture** - thanks @j-sperling ([#233](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/pull/233)). `eval_topics.json` lets contributors run quality regressions without burning live API credits.
- **END-OF-CANONICAL-OUTPUT boundary** in `render_compact()`. Engine now emits an explicit pass-through instruction so re-synthesis requires actively ignoring a visible boundary.
- **LAW 1 verbatim-pattern override.** LAW 1 now quotes the exact WebSearch tool-result reminder ("CRITICAL REQUIREMENT: MUST include Sources: section") and declares it OVERRIDDEN inside last30days output.
### Changed
- **SKILL.md restructure.** VOICE CONTRACT LAWs and BADGE MANDATORY block moved from line 1094 to lines 75-150. Grounded in 3 separate Opus 4.7 self-debugs.
- **Engine emits the badge as stdout.** `🌐 last30days v3.0.9 · synced YYYY-MM-DD` is the first line of every compact emit. Pass-through is now the default-correct behavior.
- **Reddit client HTTP consolidation** - thanks @iliaal ([#207](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/pull/207)). Migrated to `http.get(params=...)` helper.
- **ScrapeCreators header consolidation** - thanks @iliaal ([#209](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/pull/209)). `_sc_headers` refactored into `http.scrapecreators_headers`.
- **Simpler Hermes sync.** `scripts/sync.sh` Hermes branch now always uses main SKILL.md (previously had a `.hermes-plugin/SKILL.md` fallback that created a wrong-file-capture hazard).
### Fixed
- **Peter Steinberger trailing Sources leak.** 2026-04-18 validation failure where the model appended a TechCrunch / TED / Fortune / Wikipedia Sources list after the invitation. Now structurally prevented at three layers: engine emits the canonical body, LAW 1 quotes the exact WebSearch reminder, closing boundary names the anti-pattern.
- **Wrong-file SKILL.md capture.** Deleted `.agents/skills/last30days/SKILL.md` (1382 lines, April 13 snapshot) and `.hermes-plugin/SKILL.md` (269 lines). One SKILL.md per plugin now, at the plugin root.
- **GitHub date parsing garbage** - thanks @iliaal ([#208](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/pull/208)). `_parse_date` now rejects invalid input cleanly.
- **Windows Bird X stability** - thanks @Chelebii ([#227](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/pull/227)).
- **Linux `check_perms` false-warn** - thanks @george231224 ([#216](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/pull/216)). Uses GNU stat first.
- **UTF-8 saved output** - thanks @Gujiassh ([#225](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/pull/225)).
- **Version metadata alignment** - thanks @Gujiassh ([#217](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/pull/217)) and @shalomma ([#229](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/pull/229)).
- **`--days` alias backcompat** - thanks @BryanTegomoh ([#230](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/pull/230)).
- **`INCLUDE_SOURCES` env default** - thanks @hnshah ([#223](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/pull/223)).
- **Bird X all-None engagement** - thanks @j-sperling ([#234](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/pull/234)).

### Recovery
```
/plugin update last30days
/reload-plugins
```
Verify: `cat ~/.claude/plugins/cache/last30days-skill/last30days/*/.claude-plugin/plugin.json | grep version` returns `"version": "3.0.9"`.
Smoke test: `/last30days birthday gift for 40 year old` should ask a clarifying question before running.
## [3.0.5] - 2026-04-15
### Added
- **`/last30days` slash command for plugin users.** New `commands/last30days.md` registers a Claude Code slash command. Users type `/last30days <topic>` and Claude Code's autocomplete prefix-matches it to the canonical `/last30days:last30days` form (the same way `/ce:plan` resolves to `/compound-engineering:ce-plan`). The command delegates to the existing `last30days` skill body — no skill behavior changes.
### Removed
- **`skills/last30days-nux/`** — byte-identical duplicate of root `SKILL.md` that created confusing `/last30days:last30days-nux` autocomplete entries via Claude Code's plugin namespacing. The root `SKILL.md` remains the canonical skill source.
### Recovery
```
/plugin update last30days
/reload-plugins
```
Then type `/last30days <topic>` to invoke the skill via slash command. Natural-language invocation ("search the last 30 days for X") continues to work unchanged.
## [3.0.4] - 2026-04-15
### Fixed
- **Cleared `/doctor` path-escape error on Claude Code v2.1.109+.** `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` previously declared `"skills": ["./"]`. That value shipped unchanged from v2.1.0 through v3.0.3 and worked on older Claude Code, but current versions reject `./` with `Path escapes plugin directory: ./ (skills)`. The `"skills"` key is now omitted entirely, matching the pattern used by every other plugin in the Claude Code marketplace ecosystem. Claude Code auto-discovers `skills/*/SKILL.md` when the key is absent.
### Recovery
If `/doctor` reports a path-escape error for last30days, run `/plugin update last30days` then `/reload-plugins`. If errors persist, uninstall and reinstall the plugin.
## [3.0.3] - 2026-04-15
### Fixed
- **Restored `skills/` and `.claude-plugin/` to the plugin install tarball.** v3.0.1 added `.gitattributes` rules that excluded both directories from `git archive` output to shrink the claude.ai `.skill` bundle. Claude Code's `/plugin install` fetches the same archive, so users installing v3.0.1 or v3.0.2 received a tarball with no plugin manifest and no skill files. `git archive v3.0.0` contained 8 files under those paths; `v3.0.1` and `v3.0.2` contained 0. This release reverts those `.gitattributes` lines.
- **Reverted `plugin.json` `"skills"` field to `["./"]`.** v3.0.2 changed this to `["skills"]` based on a misdiagnosis — the manifest change had no effect because the manifest wasn't in the tarball at all. The historical `["./"]` value shipped in every release from v2.1.0 through v3.0.0 without issues and is restored here.
### Recovery
Users on v3.0.1 or v3.0.2: run `/plugin update last30days` then `/reload-plugins`. If autoUpdate is enabled, the next session start will pull v3.0.3 automatically. Users on cached v3.0.0 or earlier installs were unaffected.
### Notes
- The claude.ai `.skill` bundle built by `scripts/build-skill.sh` still works — the archive grew from 89 to 97 files, well under the 200-file cap.
- claude.ai-specific exclusions (avoiding duplicate `SKILL.md` files in the bundle) should move into `scripts/build-skill.sh` rather than `.gitattributes` in a future release, since `.gitattributes` cannot distinguish between the two distribution channels.
## [3.0.2] - 2026-04-15
### Fixed
- **`/last30days` slash command now registers on Claude Code v2.1.105+.** `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` declared `"skills": ["./"]`, which newer Claude Code rejects with `Path escapes plugin directory: ./ (skills)`. The skill silently failed to register, so `/last30days <query>` returned "Unknown command" even though `/plugin list` showed the plugin as installed. Fix: `"skills": ["skills"]` so the loader scans the real skill subdirectory.
- **Version drift between manifests.** `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` was pinned to `3.0.0` while `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` advertised `3.0.1`. The `/plugin` resolver used the marketplace version and could install stale cached metadata alongside the correct build. Both manifests now agree on `3.0.2`.
### Recovery
If `/last30days` stopped working for you, run `/plugin update last30days` then `/reload-plugins`. If `/doctor` still reports errors, uninstall and reinstall the plugin from the marketplace.
## [3.0.1] - 2026-04-14
### Fixed
- **Skill upload packaging** - `scripts/build-skill.sh` produces a claude.ai-upload-ready `.skill` file that fits under the 200-file cap. Previously, zipping the repo hit 406 files and the "Upload skill" UI rejected it outright.
- **SKILL.md description length** - trimmed from 228 to 167 chars (Anthropic caps descriptions at 200).
### Removed
- Unused root `vendor/` directory (215 files from an accidental commit in PR #48 - the real vendored X client lives at `scripts/lib/vendor/bird-search/`).
- Legacy top-level `plans/` directory (superseded by `docs/plans/`; both plans described work that was already shipped in v3).
### Added
- `.gitattributes` with `export-ignore` entries so `git archive` drops tests, docs, fixtures, assets, historical manifests, and internal skill subdirs. Mirrors Anthropic's canonical `package_skill.py` exclusions.
- `scripts/build-skill.sh` - one-command path to produce `dist/last30days.skill` with a single top-level `last30days/` folder, defensive `=200` file check, and dirty-tree refusal.
- `README.md` section documenting the claude.ai skill upload workflow.
## [3.0.0] - 2026-04-11
### Highlights
Intelligent search, fun judge, cross-source cluster merging, single-pass comparisons, and OpenClaw as a first-class citizen. The v3 engine doesn't just search for your topic -- it figures out *where* to search before the search begins. Engine architecture by @j-sperling.
### Added
- **Intelligent pre-research** -- Resolves X handles, subreddits, TikTok hashtags, and YouTube channels via a new Python brain before any API calls fire. Bidirectional: person to company, product to founder.
- **Fun judge / Best Takes** -- Second parallel LLM judge scores humor, cleverness, and virality. Surfaces the best reactions in a dedicated output section.
- **Cross-source cluster merging** -- Entity-based overlap detection merges the same story across Reddit, X, YouTube into one cluster instead of three separate items.
- **Single-pass comparisons** -- "X vs Y" runs one pass with entity-aware subqueries instead of three serial passes. 3 minutes instead of 12+.
- **GitHub as a source** -- Stars, reactions, and comments from repos and issues.
- **OpenClaw first-class citizen** -- Auto-resolve for engine-side pre-research. Device auth for frictionless ScrapeCreators signup.
- **Per-author cap** -- Max 3 items per author prevents single-voice dominance.
- **Entity disambiguation** -- Synthesis trusts resolved handles over keyword matches.
- **Perplexity Sonar Pro as additive source** -- AI-synthesized research with citations via OpenRouter. Opt-in via `INCLUDE_SOURCES=perplexity`. Returns structured narratives that complement social data.
- **Perplexity Deep Research** -- `--deep-research` flag for exhaustive 50+ citation reports (~$0.90/query). Premium opt-in for serious investigation.
- **OpenRouter as reasoning provider** -- One OPENROUTER_API_KEY powers planning, reranking, and Perplexity search. Auto-detected after Gemini/OpenAI/xAI.
- **Parallel AI grounding backend** -- `--web-backend parallel` or auto-detected via PARALLEL_API_KEY.
- **Grounding in planner** -- Grounding source properly registered in SOURCE_CAPABILITIES instead of force-injected.
### Changed
- YouTube transcript candidate pool widened 3x past music videos to reach talk/review content with captions
- Reddit comment enrichment sorted by total engagement (upvotes + comments), not just upvotes
- Polymarket display shows % odds only; dollar volumes removed
- 852 tests passing
### Fixed
- Marketplace validation: duplicate `name: last30days` collision in `skills/last30days/SKILL.md` caused strict validators to reject the plugin. Resolved by renaming the internal v3 architecture spec to `last30days-v3-spec` with `user-invocable: false`. Fixed in #214 (reported by @Cody-Coyote in #204).
- Stale README link to the deleted `skills/last30days-v3/` path from the v3 directory rename. Fixed in #214.
- OpenAI Codex CLI discoverability: added `.agents/skills/last30days/SKILL.md` as a real file (Codex's loader skips symlinked files) plus `.codex-plugin/plugin.json` as the namespace marker. The skill now registers as `last30days:last30days` when Codex runs in a checkout of the repo. Fixed in #219 (inspired by @Jah-yee in #153 and @dannyshmueli on X).

## [2.9.4] - 2026-03-06
### Changed
- Move save into Python script via `--save-dir` flag - raw research data saved during the existing script Bash call, zero extra tool calls after invitation
- Remove entire "Save Research to Documents" section from SKILL.md (~45 lines removed)
- No more `📎` footer, no Bash heredoc, no `(No output)`, no multi-minute cogitation after research
## [2.9.3] - 2026-03-06
### Fixed
- **Critical:** Switch save from `run_in_background` to foreground Bash - background callbacks caused model to re-engage, hallucinate fake user messages, and generate unsolicited multi-paragraph responses
- Save uses foreground `cat >` heredoc (executes sub-second, no callback, no delayed notification)
## [2.9.2] - 2026-03-06
### Fixed
- Save research silently using background Bash heredoc instead of Write tool (eliminates "Wrote N lines..." clutter)
- Suppress follow-up text after background save completes (no more "Research briefing saved..." noise)
- Add `📎` footer line for save path instead of verbose confirmation
## [2.9.1] - 2026-03-05
### Highlights
Auto-save research briefings to the default memory directory as topic-named .md files. Every run now builds a personal research library automatically - no more manual copy-paste.
### Added
- Auto-save complete research briefings (synthesis, stats, follow-up suggestions) to the default memory directory after every run
- Kebab-case filename generation from topic (e.g., "Claude Code skills" -> `claude-code-skills.md`)
- Duplicate topic handling: appends date suffix instead of overwriting (e.g., `claude-code-skills-2026-03-05.md`)
- Agent mode (`--agent`) also saves research files
- Brief confirmation after save with the saved file path

# Concepts
Shared vocabulary for `last30days-skill`. Terms here have a precise project-specific meaning — distinct enough from their general technical sense that a new contributor would need them defined to follow conversations, PR descriptions, or the SKILL.md contract.
## The package
### Skill
A self-contained agent-instructions package consisting of a `SKILL.md` prose contract plus a sibling `scripts/` directory containing the executable code the SKILL.md invokes. The package conforms to the [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io) open format and installs across every major harness (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and 50+ others) via `npx skills add`, harness-native plugin installers, or per-harness skill directories. A Skill is the unit of distribution; the Skill is the product.
### Engine
The Python script (`scripts/last30days.py`) the Skill's SKILL.md invokes to do the actual research work. The Engine and SKILL.md have a contract: SKILL.md tells the model which flags to pass (`--plan`, `--competitors-plan`, `--x-handle`, `--subreddits`, `--emit=compact`, etc.), and the Engine produces a specific output shape (badge line, ranked evidence clusters, emoji-tree footer) that the model is contractually required to pass through. The Engine is implementation; the SKILL.md prose is the agent-facing surface.
### Harness
The agent runtime that loads Skills and invokes them on the user's behalf. Claude Code is the most common Harness for this Skill but not the only one — Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and the rest of the Agent Skills ecosystem also count. "Multi-harness" describes a Skill that works correctly across every Harness it installs into; features written without multi-harness awareness (e.g., engine flags with no SKILL.md integration, or paths hardcoded to one Harness's install layout) regress on Harnesses other than the one they were tested against.
## Distribution
### Beta channel
A parallel install of the Skill, sourced from the private `mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private` repo and installed as `/last30days-beta` rather than `/last30days`. The Beta channel exists so experimental changes can be tested by real users before they ship to the public `/last30days`. Promotion from Beta to public happens via a review PR against this (public) repo — Beta-only changes never ship to public without that PR. The Beta channel workflow guide lives in `BETA.md` in the private repo.

# Hermes Setup Guide for last30days
This guide covers installing last30days on Hermes AI Agent.
## Prerequisites
1. **Hermes installed** - See https://github.com/mercurial-tf/hermes
2. **Python 3.12+** - `brew install python@3.12` or similar
3. **yt-dlp** (optional, for YouTube) - `brew install yt-dlp`
## Installation
```bash
hermes skills install mvanhorn/last30days-skill --force
```
This pulls the latest release from GitHub and deploys to `~/.hermes/skills/research/last30days/`. `--force` reinstalls over any existing 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
git clone https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill.git
mkdir -p ~/.hermes/skills/research
ln -s "$(pwd)/last30days-skill/skills/last30days" ~/.hermes/skills/research/last30days
```
## Usage
In Hermes, invoke with:
```
last30days "your research topic"
```
Or with options:
```
last30days "best mechanical keyboards 2025" --search=reddit,youtube
last30days "AI news" --days=7 --deep
```
## First Run Setup
On first run, the skill will guide you through setup:
1. **Auto setup** (~30 seconds)
- Scans browser cookies for X/Twitter
- Checks/installs yt-dlp for YouTube
- Configures free sources (Reddit, HN, Polymarket)
2. **Optional: ScrapeCreators**
- Adds TikTok, Instagram, Reddit backup
- 100 free credits (no expiration)
- Sign up at scrapecreators.com
3. **Optional: API Keys**
- XAI_API_KEY for X/Twitter (alternative to browser cookies)
- BRAVE_API_KEY for web search
## Available Sources
### Free (No API Key)
- **Reddit** - Public discussions and comments
- **Hacker News** - Tech discussions via Algolia
- **Polymarket** - Prediction markets
- **YouTube** - Search and transcripts (requires yt-dlp)
### Requires API Key
- **X/Twitter** - xAI API key or browser cookies
- **TikTok** - ScrapeCreators API
- **Instagram** - ScrapeCreators API
- **Web Search** - Brave Search API
## Troubleshooting
### Python not found
```bash
# Find Python 3.12+
which python3.12 python3.13 python3.14
# If not installed
brew install python@3.12
```
### yt-dlp not found
```bash
brew install yt-dlp
# or
pip install yt-dlp
```
### Check what's configured
```bash
cd ~/.hermes/skills/research/last30days
python3.12 scripts/last30days.py --diagnose
```
## Updating
```bash
hermes skills install mvanhorn/last30days-skill --force
```
If you symlinked your working tree (developer alternative above), just `git pull` in the repo — edits propagate live, no re-install step.

# last30days v2.9: Research Any Topic from the Last 30 Days
Research ANY topic across Reddit, X, YouTube, TikTok, Hacker News, Polymarket, and the web. Surface what people are actually discussing, recommending, betting on, and debating right now.
## CRITICAL: Parse User Intent
Before doing anything, parse the user's input for:
1. **TOPIC**: What they want to learn about (e.g., "web app mockups", "Claude Code skills", "image generation")
2. **TARGET TOOL** (if specified): Where they'll use the prompts (e.g., "Nano Banana Pro", "ChatGPT", "Midjourney")
3. **QUERY TYPE**: What kind of research they want:
- **PROMPTING** - "X prompts", "prompting for X", "X best practices" → User wants to learn techniques and get copy-paste prompts
- **RECOMMENDATIONS** - "best X", "top X", "what X should I use", "recommended X" → User wants a LIST of specific things
- **NEWS** - "what's happening with X", "X news", "latest on X" → User wants current events/updates
- **GENERAL** - anything else → User wants broad understanding of the topic
Common patterns:
- `[topic] for [tool]` → "web mockups for Nano Banana Pro" → TOOL IS SPECIFIED
- `[topic] prompts for [tool]` → "UI design prompts for Midjourney" → TOOL IS SPECIFIED
- Just `[topic]` → "iOS design mockups" → TOOL NOT SPECIFIED, that's OK
- "best [topic]" or "top [topic]" → QUERY_TYPE = RECOMMENDATIONS
- "what are the best [topic]" → QUERY_TYPE = RECOMMENDATIONS
**IMPORTANT: Do NOT ask about target tool before research.**
- If tool is specified in the query, use it
- If tool is NOT specified, run research first, then ask AFTER showing results
**Store these variables:**
- `TOPIC = [extracted topic]`
- `TARGET_TOOL = [extracted tool, or "unknown" if not specified]`
- `QUERY_TYPE = [RECOMMENDATIONS | NEWS | HOW-TO | GENERAL]`
**DISPLAY your parsing to the user.** Before running any tools, output:
```
I'll research {TOPIC} across Reddit, X, TikTok, and the web to find what's been discussed in the last 30 days.
Parsed intent:
- TOPIC = {TOPIC}
- TARGET_TOOL = {TARGET_TOOL or "unknown"}
- QUERY_TYPE = {QUERY_TYPE}
Research typically takes 2-8 minutes (niche topics take longer). Starting now.
```
If TARGET_TOOL is known, mention it in the intro: "...to find {QUERY_TYPE}-style content for use in {TARGET_TOOL}."
This text MUST appear before you call any tools. It confirms to the user that you understood their request.
---
## Step 0.5: Resolve X Handle (if topic could have an X account)
If TOPIC looks like it could have its own X/Twitter account - **people, creators, brands, products, tools, companies, communities** (e.g., "Dor Brothers", "Jason Calacanis", "Nano Banana Pro", "Seedance", "Midjourney"), do ONE quick WebSearch:
```
WebSearch("{TOPIC} X twitter handle site:x.com")
```
From the results, extract their X/Twitter handle. Look for:
- **Verified profile URLs** like `x.com/{handle}` or `twitter.com/{handle}`
- Mentions like "@handle" in bios, articles, or social profiles
- "Follow @handle on X" patterns
**Verify the account is real, not a parody/fan account.** Check for:
- Verified/blue checkmark in the search results
- Official website linking to the X account
- Consistent naming (e.g., @thedorbrothers for "The Dor Brothers", not @DorBrosFan)
- If results only show fan/parody/news accounts (not the entity's own account), skip - the entity may not have an X presence
If you find a clear, verified handle, pass it as `--x-handle={handle}` (without @). This searches that account's posts directly - finding content they posted that doesn't mention their own name.
**Skip this step if:**
- TOPIC is clearly a generic concept, not an entity (e.g., "best rap songs 2026", "how to use Docker", "AI ethics debate")
- TOPIC already contains @ (user provided the handle directly)
- Using `--quick` depth
- WebSearch shows no official X account exists for this entity
Store: `RESOLVED_HANDLE = {handle or empty}`
---
## Agent Mode (--agent flag)
If `--agent` appears in ARGUMENTS (e.g., `/last30days plaud granola --agent`):
1. **Skip** the intro display block ("I'll research X across Reddit...")
2. **Skip** any `AskUserQuestion` calls - use `TARGET_TOOL = "unknown"` if not specified
3. **Run** the research script and WebSearch exactly as normal
4. **Skip** the "WAIT FOR USER RESPONSE" pause
5. **Skip** the follow-up invitation ("I'm now an expert on X...")
6. **Output** the complete research report and stop - do not wait for further input
Agent mode report format:
```
## Research Report: {TOPIC}
Generated: {date} | Sources: Reddit, X, YouTube, TikTok, HN, Polymarket, Web
### Key Findings
[3-5 bullet points, highest-signal insights with citations]
### What I learned
{The full "What I learned" synthesis from normal output}
### Stats
{The standard stats block}
```
---
## Research Execution
**Step 1: Run the research script (FOREGROUND — do NOT background this)**
**CRITICAL: Run this command in the FOREGROUND with a 5-minute timeout. Do NOT use run_in_background. The full output contains Reddit, X, AND YouTube data that you need to read completely.**
**IMPORTANT: The script handles API key/Codex auth detection automatically.** Run it and check the output to determine mode.
```bash
# Find skill root — works in repo checkout, Claude Code, or Codex install
for dir in \
"." \
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-}" \
"$HOME/.claude/skills/last30days" \
"$HOME/.agents/skills/last30days" \
"$HOME/.codex/skills/last30days"; do
[ -n "$dir" ] && [ -f "$dir/scripts/last30days.py" ] && SKILL_ROOT="$dir" && break
done
if [ -z "${SKILL_ROOT:-}" ]; then
echo "ERROR: Could not find scripts/last30days.py" >&2
exit 1
fi
python3 "${SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/last30days.py" "$ARGUMENTS" --emit=compact --no-native-web # Add --x-handle=HANDLE if RESOLVED_HANDLE is set
```
Use a **timeout of 300000** (5 minutes) on the Bash call. The script typically takes 1-3 minutes.
The script will automatically:
- Detect available API keys
- Run Reddit/X/YouTube/TikTok/Instagram/Hacker News/Polymarket searches
- Output ALL results including YouTube transcripts, TikTok captions, Instagram captions, HN comments, and prediction market odds
**Read the ENTIRE output.** It contains EIGHT data sections in this order: Reddit items, X items, YouTube items, TikTok items, Instagram Reels items, Hacker News items, Polymarket items, and WebSearch items. If you miss sections, you will produce incomplete stats.
**YouTube items in the output look like:** `**{video_id}** (score:N) {channel_name} [N views, N likes]` followed by a title, URL, and optional transcript snippet. Count them and include them in your synthesis and stats block.
**TikTok items in the output look like:** `**{TK_id}** (score:N) @{creator} [N views, N likes]` followed by a caption, URL, hashtags, and optional caption snippet. Count them and include them in your synthesis and stats block.
**Instagram Reels items in the output look like:** `**{IG_id}** (score:N) @{creator} (date) [N views, N likes]` followed by caption text, URL, and optional transcript. Count them and include them in your synthesis and stats block. Instagram provides unique creator/influencer perspective — weight it alongside TikTok.
---
## STEP 2: DO WEBSEARCH AFTER SCRIPT COMPLETES
After the script finishes, do WebSearch to supplement with blogs, tutorials, and news.
For **ALL modes**, do WebSearch to supplement (or provide all data in web-only mode).
Choose search queries based on QUERY_TYPE:
**If RECOMMENDATIONS** ("best X", "top X", "what X should I use"):
- Search for: `best {TOPIC} recommendations`
- Search for: `{TOPIC} list examples`
- Search for: `most popular {TOPIC}`
- Goal: Find SPECIFIC NAMES of things, not generic advice
**If NEWS** ("what's happening with X", "X news"):
- Search for: `{TOPIC} news 2026`
- Search for: `{TOPIC} announcement update`
- Goal: Find current events and recent developments
**If PROMPTING** ("X prompts", "prompting for X"):
- Search for: `{TOPIC} prompts examples 2026`
- Search for: `{TOPIC} techniques tips`
- Goal: Find prompting techniques and examples to create copy-paste prompts
**If GENERAL** (default):
- Search for: `{TOPIC} 2026`
- Search for: `{TOPIC} discussion`
- Goal: Find what people are actually saying
For ALL query types:
- **USE THE USER'S EXACT TERMINOLOGY** - don't substitute or add tech names based on your knowledge
- EXCLUDE reddit.com, x.com, twitter.com (covered by script)
- INCLUDE: blogs, tutorials, docs, news, GitHub repos
- **DO NOT output a separate "Sources:" block** — instead, include the top 3-5 web
source names as inline links on the 🌐 Web: stats line (see stats format below).
The WebSearch tool requires citation; satisfy it there, not as a trailing section.
**Options** (passed through from user's command):
- `--days=N` → Look back N days instead of 30 (e.g., `--days=7` for weekly roundup)
- `--quick` → Faster, fewer sources (8-12 each)
- (default) → Balanced (20-30 each)
- `--deep` → Comprehensive (50-70 Reddit, 40-60 X)
---
## Judge Agent: Synthesize All Sources
**After all searches complete, internally synthesize (don't display stats yet):**
The Judge Agent must:
1. Weight Reddit/X sources HIGHER (they have engagement signals: upvotes, likes)
2. Weight YouTube sources HIGH (they have views, likes, and transcript content)
3. Weight TikTok sources HIGH (they have views, likes, and caption content — viral signal)
4. Weight WebSearch sources LOWER (no engagement data)
5. **For Reddit: Pay special attention to top comments** — they often contain the wittiest, most insightful, or funniest take. When a top comment has high upvotes (shown as `💬 Top comment (N upvotes)`), quote it directly in your synthesis. Reddit's value is in the comments.
6. Identify patterns that appear across ALL sources (strongest signals)
7. Note any contradictions between sources
8. Extract the top 3-5 actionable insights
7. **Cross-platform signals are the strongest evidence.** When items have `[also on: Reddit, HN]` or similar tags, it means the same story appears across multiple platforms. Lead with these cross-platform findings - they're the most important signals in the research.
### Prediction Markets (Polymarket)
**CRITICAL: When Polymarket returns relevant markets, prediction market odds are among the highest-signal data points in your research.** Real money on outcomes cuts through opinion. Treat them as strong evidence, not an afterthought.
**How to interpret and synthesize Polymarket data:**
1. **Prefer structural/long-term markets over near-term deadlines.** Championship odds > regular season title. Regime change > near-term strike deadline. IPO/major milestone > incremental update. Presidency > individual state primary. When multiple markets exist, the bigger question is more interesting to the user.
2. **When the topic is an outcome in a multi-outcome market, call out that specific outcome's odds and movement.** Don't just say "Polymarket has a #1 seed market" - say "Arizona has a 28% chance of being the #1 overall seed, up 10% this month." The user cares about THEIR topic's position in the market.
3. **Weave odds into the narrative as supporting evidence.** Don't isolate Polymarket data in its own paragraph. Instead: "Final Four buzz is building - Polymarket gives Arizona a 12% chance to win the championship (up 3% this week), and 28% to earn a #1 seed."
4. **Citation format:** Always include specific odds AND movement. "Polymarket has Arizona at 28% for a #1 seed (up 10% this month)" - not just "per Polymarket."
5. **When multiple relevant markets exist, highlight 3-5 of the most interesting ones** in your synthesis, ordered by importance (structural > near-term). Don't just pick the highest-volume one.
**Domain examples of market importance ranking:**
- **Sports:** Championship/tournament odds > conference title > regular season > weekly matchup
- **Geopolitics:** Regime change/structural outcomes > near-term strike deadlines > sanctions
- **Tech/Business:** IPO, major product launch, company milestones > incremental updates
- **Elections:** Presidency > primary > individual state
**Do NOT display stats here - they come at the end, right before the invitation.**
---
## FIRST: Internalize the Research
**CRITICAL: Ground your synthesis in the ACTUAL research content, not your pre-existing knowledge.**
Read the research output carefully. Pay attention to:
- **Exact product/tool names** mentioned (e.g., if research mentions "ClawdBot" or "@clawdbot", that's a DIFFERENT product than "Claude Code" - don't conflate them)
- **Specific quotes and insights** from the sources - use THESE, not generic knowledge
- **What the sources actually say**, not what you assume the topic is about
**ANTI-PATTERN TO AVOID**: If user asks about "clawdbot skills" and research returns ClawdBot content (self-hosted AI agent), do NOT synthesize this as "Claude Code skills" just because both involve "skills". Read what the research actually says.
### If QUERY_TYPE = RECOMMENDATIONS
**CRITICAL: Extract SPECIFIC NAMES, not generic patterns.**
When user asks "best X" or "top X", they want a LIST of specific things:
- Scan research for specific product names, tool names, project names, skill names, etc.
- Count how many times each is mentioned
- Note which sources recommend each (Reddit thread, X post, blog)
- List them by popularity/mention count
**BAD synthesis for "best Claude Code skills":**
> "Skills are powerful. Keep them under 500 lines. Use progressive disclosure."
**GOOD synthesis for "best Claude Code skills":**
> "Most mentioned skills: /commit (5 mentions), remotion skill (4x), git-worktree (3x), /pr (3x). The Remotion announcement got 16K likes on X."
### For all QUERY_TYPEs
Identify from the ACTUAL RESEARCH OUTPUT:
- **PROMPT FORMAT** - Does research recommend JSON, structured params, natural language, keywords?
- The top 3-5 patterns/techniques that appeared across multiple sources
- Specific keywords, structures, or approaches mentioned BY THE SOURCES
- Common pitfalls mentioned BY THE SOURCES
---
## THEN: Show Summary + Invite Vision
**Display in this EXACT sequence:**
**FIRST - What I learned (based on QUERY_TYPE):**
**If RECOMMENDATIONS** - Show specific things mentioned with sources:
```
🏆 Most mentioned:
[Tool Name] - {n}x mentions
Use Case: [what it does]
Sources: @handle1, @handle2, r/sub, blog.com
[Tool Name] - {n}x mentions
Use Case: [what it does]
Sources: @handle3, r/sub2, Complex
Notable mentions: [other specific things with 1-2 mentions]
```
**CRITICAL for RECOMMENDATIONS:**
- Each item MUST have a "Sources:" line with actual @handles from X posts (e.g., @LONGLIVE47, @ByDobson)
- Include subreddit names (r/hiphopheads) and web sources (Complex, Variety)
- Parse @handles from research output and include the highest-engagement ones
- Format naturally - tables work well for wide terminals, stacked cards for narrow
**If PROMPTING/NEWS/GENERAL** - Show synthesis and patterns:
CITATION RULE: Cite sources sparingly to prove research is real.
- In the "What I learned" intro: cite 1-2 top sources total, not every sentence
- In KEY PATTERNS: cite 1 source per pattern, short format: "per @handle" or "per r/sub"
- Do NOT include engagement metrics in citations (likes, upvotes) - save those for stats box
- Do NOT chain multiple citations: "per @x, @y, @z" is too much. Pick the strongest one.
CITATION PRIORITY (most to least preferred):
1. @handles from X — "per @handle" (these prove the tool's unique value)
2. r/subreddits from Reddit — "per r/subreddit" (when citing Reddit, prefer quoting top comments over just the thread title)
3. YouTube channels — "per [channel name] on YouTube" (transcript-backed insights)
4. TikTok creators — "per @creator on TikTok" (viral/trending signal)
5. Instagram creators — "per @creator on Instagram" (influencer/creator signal)
6. HN discussions — "per HN" or "per hn/username" (developer community signal)
7. Polymarket — "Polymarket has X at Y% (up/down Z%)" with specific odds and movement
8. Web sources — ONLY when Reddit/X/YouTube/TikTok/Instagram/HN/Polymarket don't cover that specific fact
The tool's value is surfacing what PEOPLE are saying, not what journalists wrote.
When both a web article and an X post cover the same fact, cite the X post.
URL FORMATTING: NEVER paste raw URLs anywhere in the output — not in synthesis, not in stats, not in sources.
- **BAD:** "per https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/kanye-west-bully-1235506094/"
- **GOOD:** "per Rolling Stone"
- **BAD stats line:** `🌐 Web: 10 pages — https://later.com/blog/..., https://buffer.com/...`
- **GOOD stats line:** `🌐 Web: 10 pages — Later, Buffer, CNN, SocialBee`
Use the publication/site name, not the URL. The user doesn't need links — they need clean, readable text.
**BAD:** "His album is set for March 20 (per Rolling Stone; Billboard; Complex)."
**GOOD:** "His album BULLY drops March 20 — fans on X are split on the tracklist, per @honest30bgfan_"
**GOOD:** "Ye's apology got massive traction on r/hiphopheads"
**OK** (web, only when Reddit/X don't have it): "The Hellwatt Festival runs July 4-18 at RCF Arena, per Billboard"
**Lead with people, not publications.** Start each topic with what Reddit/X
users are saying/feeling, then add web context only if needed. The user came
here for the conversation, not the press release.
```
What I learned:
**{Topic 1}** — [1-2 sentences about what people are saying, per @handle or r/sub]
**{Topic 2}** — [1-2 sentences, per @handle or r/sub]
**{Topic 3}** — [1-2 sentences, per @handle or r/sub]
KEY PATTERNS from the research:
1. [Pattern] — per @handle
2. [Pattern] — per r/sub
3. [Pattern] — per @handle
```
**THEN - Stats (right before invitation):**
**CRITICAL: Calculate actual totals from the research output.**
- Count posts/threads from each section
- Sum engagement: parse `[Xlikes, Yrt]` from each X post, `[Xpts, Ycmt]` from Reddit
- Identify top voices: highest-engagement @handles from X, most active subreddits
**Copy this EXACTLY, replacing only the {placeholders}:**
```

```
**🌐 Web: line — how to extract site names from URLs:**
Strip the protocol, path, and `www.` — use the recognizable publication name:
- `https://later.com/blog/instagram-reels-trends/`**Later**
- `https://socialbee.com/blog/instagram-trends/`**SocialBee**
- `https://buffer.com/resources/instagram-algorithms/`**Buffer**
- `https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/22/tech/...`**CNN**
- `https://medium.com/the-ai-studio/...`**Medium**
- `https://radicaldatascience.wordpress.com/...`**Radical Data Science**
List as comma-separated plain names: `Later, SocialBee, Buffer, CNN, Medium`
**⚠️ WebSearch citation — ALREADY SATISFIED. DO NOT ADD A SOURCES SECTION.**
The WebSearch tool mandates source citation. That requirement is FULLY satisfied by the source names on the 🌐 Web: line above. Do NOT append a separate "Sources:" section at the end of your response. Do NOT list URLs anywhere. The 🌐 Web: line IS your citation. Nothing more is needed.
**CRITICAL: Omit any source line that returned 0 results.** Do NOT show "0 threads", "0 stories", "0 markets", or "(no results this cycle)". If a source found nothing, DELETE that line entirely - don't include it at all.
NEVER use plain text dashes (-) or pipe (|). ALWAYS use ├─ └─ │ and the emoji.
**SELF-CHECK before displaying**: Re-read your "What I learned" section. Does it match what the research ACTUALLY says? If you catch yourself projecting your own knowledge instead of the research, rewrite it.
**LAST - Invitation (adapt to QUERY_TYPE):**
**CRITICAL: Every invitation MUST include 2-3 specific example suggestions based on what you ACTUALLY learned from the research.** Don't be generic — show the user you absorbed the content by referencing real things from the results.
**If QUERY_TYPE = PROMPTING:**
```
---
I'm now an expert on {TOPIC} for {TARGET_TOOL}. What do you want to make? For example:
- [specific idea based on popular technique from research]
- [specific idea based on trending style/approach from research]
- [specific idea riffing on what people are actually creating]
Just describe your vision and I'll write a prompt you can paste straight into {TARGET_TOOL}.
```
**If QUERY_TYPE = RECOMMENDATIONS:**
```
---
I'm now an expert on {TOPIC}. Want me to go deeper? For example:
- [Compare specific item A vs item B from the results]
- [Explain why item C is trending right now]
- [Help you get started with item D]
```
**If QUERY_TYPE = NEWS:**
```
---
I'm now an expert on {TOPIC}. Some things you could ask:
- [Specific follow-up question about the biggest story]
- [Question about implications of a key development]
- [Question about what might happen next based on current trajectory]
```
**If QUERY_TYPE = GENERAL:**
```
---
I'm now an expert on {TOPIC}. Some things I can help with:
- [Specific question based on the most discussed aspect]

## WAIT FOR USER'S RESPONSE
After showing the stats summary with your invitation, **STOP and wait** for the user to respond.
---
## WHEN USER RESPONDS
**Read their response and match the intent:**
- If they ask a **QUESTION** about the topic → Answer from your research (no new searches, no prompt)
- If they ask to **GO DEEPER** on a subtopic → Elaborate using your research findings
- If they describe something they want to **CREATE** → Write ONE perfect prompt (see below)
- If they ask for a **PROMPT** explicitly → Write ONE perfect prompt (see below)
**Only write a prompt when the user wants one.** Don't force a prompt on someone who asked "what could happen next with Iran."
### Writing a Prompt
When the user wants a prompt, write a **single, highly-tailored prompt** using your research expertise.
### CRITICAL: Match the FORMAT the research recommends
**If research says to use a specific prompt FORMAT, YOU MUST USE THAT FORMAT.**
**ANTI-PATTERN**: Research says "use JSON prompts with device specs" but you write plain prose. This defeats the entire purpose of the research.
### Quality Checklist (run before delivering):
- [ ] **FORMAT MATCHES RESEARCH** - If research said JSON/structured/etc, prompt IS that format
- [ ] Directly addresses what the user said they want to create
- [ ] Uses specific patterns/keywords discovered in research
- [ ] Ready to paste with zero edits (or minimal [PLACEHOLDERS] clearly marked)
- [ ] Appropriate length and style for TARGET_TOOL
### Output Format:
```
Here's your prompt for {TARGET_TOOL}:
---
[The actual prompt IN THE FORMAT THE RESEARCH RECOMMENDS]
---
This uses [brief 1-line explanation of what research insight you applied].
```
---
## IF USER ASKS FOR MORE OPTIONS
Only if they ask for alternatives or more prompts, provide 2-3 variations. Don't dump a prompt pack unless requested.
---
## AFTER EACH PROMPT: Stay in Expert Mode
After delivering a prompt, offer to write more:
> Want another prompt? Just tell me what you're creating next.
---
## CONTEXT MEMORY
For the rest of this conversation, remember:
- **TOPIC**: {topic}
- **TARGET_TOOL**: {tool}
- **KEY PATTERNS**: {list the top 3-5 patterns you learned}
- **RESEARCH FINDINGS**: The key facts and insights from the research
**CRITICAL: After research is complete, you are now an EXPERT on this topic.**
When the user asks follow-up questions:
- **DO NOT run new WebSearches** - you already have the research
- **Answer from what you learned** - cite the Reddit threads, X posts, and web sources
- **If they ask a question** - answer it from your research findings
- **If they ask for a prompt** - write one using your expertise
Only do new research if the user explicitly asks about a DIFFERENT topic.
---
## Output Summary Footer (After Each Prompt)
After delivering a prompt, end with:
```
---
📚 Expert in: {TOPIC} for {TARGET_TOOL}
📊 Based on: {n} Reddit threads ({sum} upvotes) + {n} X posts ({sum} likes) + {n} YouTube videos ({sum} views) + {n} TikTok videos ({sum} views) + {n} Instagram reels ({sum} views) + {n} HN stories ({sum} points) + {n} web pages
Want another prompt? Just tell me what you're creating next.

## Security & Permissions
**What this skill does:**
- Sends search queries to ScrapeCreators API (`api.scrapecreators.com`) for Reddit search, subreddit discovery, and comment enrichment (requires SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY — same key as TikTok + Instagram)
- Legacy: 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 browser cookie auth) 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 (same SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY as Reddit, PAYG after 100 free credits)
- 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)
**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 (same key covers both; 100 free credits, then PAYG)
- Can be invoked autonomously by agents via the Skill tool (runs inline, not forked); pass `--agent` for non-interactive report output
**Bundled scripts:** `scripts/last30days.py` (main research engine), `scripts/lib/` (search, enrichment, rendering modules), `scripts/lib/vendor/bird-search/` (vendored X search client, MIT licensed)
Review scripts before first use to verify behavior.

# last30days Skill Specification
## Overview
`last30days` is a Claude Code skill that researches a given topic across Reddit and X (Twitter) using the OpenAI Responses API and xAI Responses API respectively. It enforces a strict 30-day recency window, popularity-aware ranking, and produces actionable outputs including best practices, a prompt pack, and a reusable context snippet. OpenAI auth can come from `OPENAI_API_KEY` or Codex login credentials.
The skill operates in three modes depending on available API keys: **reddit-only** (OpenAI key), **x-only** (xAI key), or **both** (full cross-validation). It uses automatic model selection to stay current with the latest models from both providers, with optional pinning for stability.
## Architecture
The orchestrator (`last30days.py`) coordinates discovery, enrichment, normalization, scoring, deduplication, and rendering. Each concern is isolated in `scripts/lib/`:
- **env.py**: Load API keys from `~/.config/last30days/.env` and Codex auth from `~/.codex/auth.json`
- **dates.py**: Date range calculation and confidence scoring
- **cache.py**: 24-hour TTL caching keyed by topic + date range
- **http.py**: stdlib-only HTTP client with retry logic
- **models.py**: Auto-selection of OpenAI/xAI models with 7-day caching
- **openai_reddit.py**: OpenAI Responses API + web_search for Reddit
- **xai_x.py**: xAI Responses API + x_search for X
- **reddit_enrich.py**: Fetch Reddit thread JSON for real engagement metrics
- **hackernews.py**: Hacker News search via Algolia API (free, no auth)
- **polymarket.py**: Polymarket prediction market search via Gamma API (free, no auth)
- **normalize.py**: Convert raw API responses to canonical schema
- **score.py**: Compute popularity-aware scores (relevance + recency + engagement)
- **dedupe.py**: Near-duplicate detection via text similarity
- **render.py**: Generate markdown and JSON outputs
- **schema.py**: Type definitions and validation
## Embedding in Other Skills
Other skills can import the research context in several ways:
### Inline Context Injection
```markdown
## Recent Research Context
!python3 ~/.claude/skills/last30days/scripts/last30days.py "your topic" --emit=context
```
### Read from File
```markdown
## Research Context
!cat ~/.local/share/last30days/out/last30days.context.md
```
### Get Path for Dynamic Loading
```bash
CONTEXT_PATH=$(python3 ~/.claude/skills/last30days/scripts/last30days.py "topic" --emit=path)
cat "$CONTEXT_PATH"
```
### JSON for Programmatic Use
```bash
python3 ~/.claude/skills/last30days/scripts/last30days.py "topic" --emit=json > research.json
```
## CLI Reference
```
python3 ~/.claude/skills/last30days/scripts/last30days.py <topic> [options]
Options:
--refresh Bypass cache and fetch fresh data
--mock Use fixtures instead of real API calls
--emit=MODE Output mode: compact|json|md|context|path (default: compact)
--sources=MODE Source selection: auto|reddit|x|both (default: auto)
```
## Output Files
All outputs are written to `~/.local/share/last30days/out/`:
- `report.md` - Human-readable full report
- `report.json` - Normalized data with scores
- `last30days.context.md` - Compact reusable snippet for other skills
- `raw_openai.json` - Raw OpenAI API response
- `raw_xai.json` - Raw xAI API response
- `raw_reddit_threads_enriched.json` - Enriched Reddit thread data

## VERSION A
What I learned:
Claude Code skills and MCP servers are at an inflection point - the community is building so fast that infrastructure tooling (sandboxes, marketplaces, directories) is appearing alongside the skills themselves. @ihtesham2005 highlighted Anthropic open-sourcing their internal Skills library, and Hacker News is seeing a steady stream of Show HN projects building on this layer.
**Specialized skill packs are the new open-source project type** - Builders are shipping domain-specific skill bundles: a 55K-word email marketing knowledge base (hn/cosmoblk, 10pts), 12 SEO skills for Claude Code (r/ClaudeCode), and AI marketing skills (hn/superamped). These aren't generic - they embed deep domain knowledge into SKILL.md files.
**Security and sandboxing are emerging concerns** - SkillSandbox (hn/ClaytheMachine) is a Rust-based capability sandbox for AI agent skills, and Gulama (hn/san-techie21) pitches itself as a "security-first" OpenClaw alternative. As skills get more powerful, the HN crowd is asking hard questions about what they should be allowed to do.
**MCP is becoming a framework target, not just a protocol** - Upjack (hn/barefootsanders) is a declarative framework for building apps over MCP, and the GTM MCP Server (hn/paolobietolini) lets AI manage Google Tag Manager containers. MCP is evolving from "connect tools to Claude" into "build entire products on top of MCP."
**Agent orchestration is the next layer up** - Axon (hn/gjkim042) provides Kubernetes-native orchestration for AI coding agents, and hn/alternateman built tooling to turn Claude Code or Codex into proactive 24/7 agents. The pattern is skills for single tasks, orchestration for workflows, infrastructure for always-on agents.
**Skill discovery is an unsolved problem** - Indx.sh (hn/micronink) is a directory of AI coding rules, MCP servers, and tools. ClawsMarket (hn/digitcatphd) is a marketplace where AI agents discover tools. @ghumare64 uses a dedicated tool to sync and scan skills from the marketplace. Multiple independent attempts to solve discovery suggest it's a real pain point.
KEY PATTERNS from the research:
1. HN builders are creating infrastructure (sandboxes, frameworks, marketplaces) while Reddit/X users are creating end-user skills - the ecosystem is specializing, per hn/ClaytheMachine
2. Marketing is the breakout non-dev use case for skills - multiple independent projects across HN, Reddit, and YouTube, per hn/cosmoblk
3. Skills are going cross-platform - builders are creating skills that work with Claude Code AND Codex, per @zeeg
4. The implicit vs explicit skill invocation debate is live - Codex handles implicit well, Claude Code still needs explicit mentions, per @zeeg
5. Solo devs and small teams are the core adoption wedge - team-level skill sharing is the growth vector, per r/ClaudeCode

I'm now an expert on Claude Code skills and MCP servers. Some things I can help with:
- Break down the SkillSandbox architecture and what capability-based security means for your skills
- Compare the emerging MCP frameworks (Upjack vs Poncho vs Fluid.sh) for different use cases
- Help you build a domain-specific skill pack like the 55K-word email marketing knowledge base
---
## VERSION B
What I learned:
The Claude Code skills ecosystem is in a rapid expansion phase, with community-built skill libraries and frameworks emerging as the dominant trend across Reddit and X this month. @ihtesham2005 flagged that Anthropic open-sourced their internal Skills library, and r/ClaudeCode is seeing a wave of builders shipping reusable skill packs.
**Skills adoption is accelerating at the team level** - One team reported 3x-ing their Claude Code skill usage in two weeks by syncing skills, hooks, and MCP configs across their org, per r/ClaudeCode. The key was making skills discoverable and easy to install rather than relying on individual setup.
**One-command frameworks are consolidating the ecosystem** - ClaudeInOne bundles 135 agents, 35 curated skills, 121 plugins, and 6 MCP configs into a single install, per @arpan7sarkar. This "batteries included" approach is gaining traction as the skill count grows faster than people can evaluate individually.
**Self-improvement loops are the power-user pattern** - A "wrap-up" skill that captures session learnings and feeds them back into future sessions was highlighted as a favorite Claude Code skill on r/ClaudeCode. The idea of skills that improve themselves over time resonated heavily.
**Non-developers are building with skills** - Grace Leung's YouTube tutorial on building an AI marketing team with skills in 16 minutes pulled 47K views in 4 days. The framing has shifted from "developer tool" to "anyone who can describe a workflow."
**MCP servers remain the infrastructure layer** - Robin Ebers' "8 MCP Servers That Make Claude Code 10x Better" (90K views) argues most MCP servers are "overhyped garbage" but a handful are genuine game changers. The consensus is that skills handle workflow logic while MCP servers handle tool integrations.
KEY PATTERNS from the research:
1. Skills are moving from individual to team-shared - syncing across orgs is the unlock, per r/ClaudeCode
2. Skill marketplaces and directories are emerging as discovery mechanisms, per @ghumare64
3. Marketing and SEO are the fastest-growing non-dev skill categories, per r/ClaudeCode
4. Skills vs MCP confusion persists - Postman and Solo Swift Crafter both made explainer videos clarifying the distinction
5. Builder skills that generate other skills are the meta-pattern, per @matgoldsborough

I'm now an expert on Claude Code skills and MCP servers. Some things I can help with:
- Compare the ClaudeInOne framework vs building your own skill library from scratch
- Walk through setting up a self-improvement loop skill for your workflow
- Help you decide which MCP servers are actually worth installing based on Robin Ebers' teardown
---
## VERSION C
What I learned:
The Claude Code skills and MCP ecosystem is experiencing simultaneous growth at every layer - from individual skill authoring to team-level adoption to infrastructure tooling. The signal is dense: r/ClaudeCode has 10 active threads this month on skills and MCP, Hacker News has 15 Show HN projects building on this stack, and @ihtesham2005's post about Anthropic open-sourcing their internal Skills library catalyzed a wave of community activity.
**MCP server scaling is hitting real limits** - "Claude Code works great... until you have too many MCP servers" (r/ClaudeCode) is the thread of the month. Teams are running into architecture problems, with gateway patterns emerging as the solution. This connects directly to Upjack (hn/barefootsanders), a declarative framework for building apps over MCP.
**Token efficiency is driving MCP server design** - A semantic graph MCP server cut context from 15K to 3K tokens (r/ClaudeCode), while 25 MCP servers that return structured data instead of terminal formatting emerged on r/ClaudeAI. The efficiency concern also shows up in SkillSandbox (hn/ClaytheMachine), which uses capability-based sandboxing to limit what skills can access.
**Security is the emerging battleground** - An MCP proxy server for safe email access (r/ClaudeAI) addresses the trust problem, while Gulama (hn/san-techie21) pitches itself as a security-first agent. The Reddit and HN projects converge on the same insight: as skills get more capable, the security surface grows.
**Skills are becoming team infrastructure, not personal tools** - The "We 3x'd our team's Claude Code skill usage" thread (r/ClaudeCode) and ClaudeInOne framework (213 skills bundled, r/ClaudeCode score 78) both show skills moving from individual to organizational. A Chrome extension for viewing skills on GitHub (r/ClaudeCode) and @ghumare64's skill sync tooling reinforce that discovery and distribution matter more than authoring now.
**Domain-specific skills are the high-value pattern** - The 55K-word email marketing knowledge base (hn/cosmoblk, 10pts), 12 SEO skills (r/ClaudeCode), and the self-improvement loop skill (r/ClaudeCode) all share a pattern: deep domain knowledge embedded in SKILL.md files. Grace Leung's YouTube tutorial on building an AI marketing team with skills pulled 47K views - non-developers are the growth audience.
KEY PATTERNS from the research:
1. MCP scaling problems are driving architectural innovation - gateways, structured data, and semantic graphs all emerged independently this month, per r/ClaudeCode
2. Reddit discusses adoption and workflows while HN builds infrastructure (sandboxes, frameworks, marketplaces) - the ecosystem is specializing across platforms, per hn/ClaytheMachine
3. Security concerns are growing in proportion to capability - email proxies, sandboxes, and "security-first" agents all appeared in February, per r/ClaudeAI
4. Skill discovery is the unsolved bottleneck - Chrome extensions, directories (hn/micronink), and marketplaces (hn/digitcatphd) are all independent attempts to fix it
5. Cross-platform skill portability matters - @zeeg notes Codex handles implicit skill invocation better than Claude Code, suggesting the skill format may outlive any single runtime

I'm now an expert on Claude Code skills and MCP servers. Some things I can help with:
- Analyze the MCP scaling problem and whether a gateway approach or semantic graph server would work better for your setup
- Compare the security models across the email proxy, SkillSandbox, and Gulama approaches
- Help you build a domain-specific skill pack and distribute it through the emerging skill ecosystem

## SCORES
### Version A
- Groundedness: 4/5
- Specificity: 5/5
- Coverage: 3/5
- Actionability: 4/5
- Format: 4/5
- **Weighted Total**: 4.05/5.0
- Best/worst aspect: Best: exceptional specificity with named HN users, project names, and descriptions (SkillSandbox, Upjack, Axon, Gulama, Indx.sh, ClawsMarket). Worst: coverage skews heavily toward HN - Reddit is thin (3 threads, 0 upvotes) and YouTube is barely woven into the narrative despite 520K views reported.
### Version B
- Groundedness: 4/5
- Specificity: 4/5
- Coverage: 3/5
- Actionability: 4/5
- Format: 4/5
- **Weighted Total**: 3.80/5.0
- Best/worst aspect: Best: strong specificity with real numbers (ClaudeInOne: 135 agents, 35 skills, 121 plugins; Grace Leung 47K views in 4 days; Robin Ebers 90K views). Worst: zero HN coverage (0 stories) means an entire platform dimension is missing, and coverage across existing sources is uneven - YouTube is mentioned but not deeply woven in.
### Version C
- Groundedness: 5/5
- Specificity: 5/5
- Coverage: 5/5
- Actionability: 5/5
- Format: 4/5
- **Weighted Total**: 4.90/5.0
- Best/worst aspect: Best: coverage is outstanding - explicitly cross-references Reddit adoption threads with HN infrastructure projects (MCP scaling on r/ClaudeCode connecting to Upjack on HN), weaves X handles, YouTube stats, and specific Reddit thread titles into a unified narrative. Cites 10 Reddit threads, 15 HN stories, and specific numbers throughout. Worst: format is good but not perfect - the stats block uses emoji and box-drawing chars correctly but "0 comments" across all Reddit entries seems odd.
## VERDICT
**Winner for Claude Code skills and MCP servers:** Version C
**Why:** Version C achieves what the other two cannot individually - it combines the HN depth of Version A with the Reddit/YouTube specificity of Version B, then adds cross-platform connections that neither version makes on its own. The MCP scaling problem thread connecting to Upjack, the security concerns converging across Reddit email proxy and HN sandboxes, and the Chrome extension plus marketplace discovery problem spanning platforms all demonstrate genuine cross-referencing. Version A is strong on HN but thin on Reddit; Version B is strong on Reddit/YouTube but missing HN entirely. Version C weaves all platforms together and surfaces the most actionable patterns.

## VERSION A
## What I learned
ByteDance's **Seedance 2.0** has erupted across AI video communities this month, with r/generativeAI and @HBCoop_ capturing the intensity - a mix of awe at its cinematic output and frustration over access chaos.
**CapCut integration goes live.** As of Feb 25, Seedance 2.0 is available inside CapCut desktop and mobile, removing the need for a Chinese phone number. @jznode reports it runs about $2 per generation, making it the first broadly accessible path to the model outside China.
**One-minute films with zero editing.** A viral r/generativeAI thread describes Seedance 2.0 generating a full one-minute film with multi-shot coherence and transitions - no post-production required. Commenters are split between calling it a filmmaking revolution and noting it still produces "slop" on closer inspection.
**Access remains a mess.** Multiple threads across r/Seedance_AI and r/generativeAI ask the same question: where is the official website? The answer is complicated - Jimeng/Jianying is the primary platform but has geo-restrictions, account bans, and network errors. Third-party APIs (useapi.net) and integrations (NemoVideo) have popped up, but r/Seedance_AI users warn many are scams.
**Hollywood backlash and SAG-AFTRA fallout.** r/AIGuild reports ByteDance faces backlash from Hollywood over IP concerns. Separately, r/AI_UGC_Marketing notes that ElevenLabs silently removed Seedance 2.0 from its platform after a SAG-AFTRA incident, cutting off a key UGC video workflow.
**Content guardrails frustrate power users.** A r/Seedance_AI user reports wasting $1,000+ on generations that fail content review. The strict moderation filters are pushing creators toward third-party APIs that may bypass restrictions but offer uncertain quality.
**YouTube creators crown it king.** Theoretically Media's review (199K views) declares Seedance 2.0 has claimed the "AI video throne" just a week after Kling 3.0 held that title. Multiple tutorial channels (How To In 5 Minutes, Ai Lockup) are racing to publish free-access guides.
**Phishing scams exploit the hype.** @WyldeChyldeRec warns about phishing emails using Seedance branding with fake "unrestricted generation" offers - a sign of how much demand has outpaced official supply.
### KEY PATTERNS
1. **Access demand far exceeds official supply** - the gap between Seedance 2.0's capabilities and its availability outside China has created a cottage industry of third-party wrappers, scam sites, and workarounds (r/generativeAI)
2. **Platform musical chairs** - Seedance 2.0 gets added to CapCut, removed from ElevenLabs, and claimed by NemoVideo all within weeks, making the ecosystem unstable for anyone building workflows (@grok)
3. **Quality vs. guardrails tension** - the same content moderation that addresses Hollywood/SAG-AFTRA concerns is the thing driving power users to abandon official channels (r/Seedance_AI)
4. **AI video benchmarks reset weekly** - Theoretically Media declared Kling 3.0 the benchmark, then Seedance 2.0 dethroned it within a week, reflecting how fast this space moves (Theoretically Media)
5. **Scam ecosystem mirrors real demand** - phishing emails and fake sites emerge within days of each capability announcement, indicating mainstream interest beyond the AI-native audience (@WyldeChyldeRec)

## VERSION B
## What I learned
ByteDance's **Seedance 2.0** has dominated AI video discussion this month, with r/singularity and Hacker News tracking both the technical leaps and the messy rollout. The top HN thread (hn/Alisaqqt, 7pts) previewed the model in early February and correctly predicted the Atlas Cloud API launch on Feb 24.
**CapCut integration marks the global launch.** As of Feb 25, Seedance 2.0 is live inside CapCut desktop and mobile worldwide. @jznode confirms no Chinese phone number is needed, with generations running about $2 each. A parallel r/singularity thread tracks the announcement with discussion of censorship trade-offs and pricing.
**One-minute coherent films.** r/generativeAI showcases a Seedance 2.0 output - a one-minute film with multi-shot coherence, scene transitions, and consistent characters, all generated with zero editing. The claim is contested but the output samples are circulating widely.
**API availability is a saga.** The top HN story noted the API was not yet available in early Feb, with Atlas Cloud access promised for Feb 24. By late February, r/generativeAI reports Seedance 2.0 appearing in "open source tools already," while third-party APIs (useapi.net) offer access of uncertain authenticity. Multiple Show HN posts (SeeVideo, Seedance3AI, and others) are building wrapper apps, but most sit at 1 point with zero comments.
**Jimeng platform instability.** r/Seedance_AI documents 24-hour stretches of "Network Error, Generation Failed" on Jimeng Web, silent account bans distinguishing paid from free accounts, and general frustration. One user reports wasting $1,000+ on failed generations due to content review rejections.
**Hollywood and SAG-AFTRA blowback.** r/AIGuild covers ByteDance facing Hollywood backlash over Seedance 2.0 IP concerns. r/AI_UGC_Marketing notes ElevenLabs quietly removed Seedance 2.0 integration after a SAG-AFTRA incident, breaking UGC video workflows.
**Developer community response is breadth without depth.** HN saw 15 stories this month, but engagement is thin - only the preview thread (7pts, 7 comments) generated real discussion. The rest are Show HN launches of wrapper apps (SeeVideo, Seedance3AI, etc.) that attracted minimal attention, suggesting developer tools are outpacing developer demand.
**Multi-shot narrative is the real breakthrough.** HN commenter hn/RyanMu notes that most AI video tools "generate isolated clips that fall apart when you try to build an actual narrative" - Seedance 2.0's multi-shot coherence is what sets it apart, and a separate Show HN specifically targets the "jump-cut problem."
### KEY PATTERNS
1. **Access fragmentation creates a wrapper gold rush** - 8+ Show HN posts launched Seedance wrapper apps in a single month, but almost none gained traction, suggesting the market wants official API access, not middlemen (HN)
2. **Platform musical chairs** - added to CapCut, removed from ElevenLabs, broken on Jimeng, promised on Atlas Cloud - the access surface is shifting weekly, making production workflows unreliable (r/singularity)
3. **Quality ceiling vs. guardrail floor** - Seedance 2.0's cinematic output quality is the highest in the space, but content moderation filters reject enough generations to cost power users real money (r/Seedance_AI)
4. **Multi-shot coherence is the moat** - while competitors offer single-clip generation, Seedance 2.0's ability to maintain character and scene consistency across shots is the feature driving adoption (hn/RyanMu)
5. **Hype-to-engagement ratio is extreme** - 15 HN stories but only 1 with meaningful discussion; YouTube tutorials pulling 200K views while developers barely engage, indicating consumer interest far outpaces technical community adoption (HN)

## VERSION C
## What I learned
ByteDance's **Seedance 2.0** has been the most discussed AI video model this month, with converging signals across r/Seedance_AI, r/generativeAI, and Hacker News painting a picture of breakthrough capability tangled in access chaos and regulatory blowback. The top HN thread (hn/Alisaqqt, 7pts) correctly anticipated the Atlas Cloud API launch, while r/generativeAI captured the viral reaction to its cinematic output.
**CapCut integration is the global access breakthrough.** As of Feb 25, Seedance 2.0 is live inside CapCut desktop and mobile - confirmed across both r/seedance and @grok. @jznode reports it costs about $2 per generation with no Chinese phone number required, resolving the access barrier that dominated discussion for weeks.
**Cinematic quality sets a new bar.** r/generativeAI's viral thread - "Seedance 2.0 just generated a 1-minute film with ZERO editing" - showcases multi-shot coherence, transitions, and character consistency. Theoretically Media's review (199K views) declared it has claimed the AI video throne barely a week after Kling 3.0 held that title. But @TferThomas offers the counterpoint: "it's still slop."
**The access problem spawned scams and wrappers.** Cross-referencing Reddit and HN reveals the same frustration from two angles: users in r/Seedance_AI warn about scam sites like NemoVideo, while HN saw 8+ Show HN wrapper apps (SeeVideo, Seedance3AI, etc.) launch in a single month [xref: HN5/R6, HN4/R6]. Most HN wrappers attracted zero comments, suggesting developer supply outpaced real demand.
**API rollout delayed by deepfake/copyright concerns.** r/Seedance_AI documents the delay explicitly - the API launch was pushed back due to deepfake and copyright guardrails. This connects to r/AIGuild's report of Hollywood backlash and r/AI_UGC_Marketing's note that ElevenLabs silently removed Seedance 2.0 after a SAG-AFTRA incident. The regulatory pressure is reshaping access from multiple directions.
**Jimeng platform is failing its users.** Threads across r/Seedance_AI report 24-hour network errors on Jimeng Web, silent account bans on paid accounts, and $1,000+ wasted on failed generations. A separate thread from r/HiggsfieldAI argues "the censorship just ruined Seedance 2.0," while r/AI_Agents offers a measured take: "Seedance 2.0 is impressive. It's still not a production workflow."
**Hands-on testers reveal the real workflow.** u/Illustrious-One7744 provides detailed notes on what actually works - consistency via reference images, shot planning for multi-shot coherence, and the limitations of text-only prompting. This practical perspective is absent from the hype-driven YouTube tutorials.
**Multi-shot coherence is the technical differentiator.** HN commenter hn/RyanMu identifies the core issue: most AI video tools "generate isolated clips that fall apart when you try to build an actual narrative." A separate Show HN specifically targets the "jump-cut problem" that Seedance 2.0 claims to solve.
### KEY PATTERNS
1. **Regulatory pressure is the real bottleneck, not technology** - the API delay, ElevenLabs removal, and Hollywood backlash form a connected pattern where legal/ethical concerns are throttling access faster than ByteDance can ship (r/Seedance_AI + r/AIGuild)
2. **Access fragmentation creates parallel economies** - CapCut for consumers, Atlas Cloud for enterprise, Jimeng for China, third-party wrappers for everyone else, scam sites for the desperate - all serving the same model through different channels with different reliability [xref: HN/Reddit]
3. **Consumer excitement vastly outpaces developer adoption** - 199K YouTube views vs. 1-point HN Show HN posts; the audience is creators and filmmakers, not engineers building on APIs (Theoretically Media vs. HN)
4. **Multi-shot coherence is the moat** - character/scene consistency across shots is what separates Seedance 2.0 from competitors and what makes the "zero editing film" possible (hn/RyanMu)
5. **Quality-guardrail tension will define who wins AI video** - ByteDance's strict content moderation costs power users real money while its absence would invite the regulatory response that already delayed the API launch (r/Seedance_AI + r/HiggsfieldAI)

Unique content includes u/Illustrious-One7744's hands-on workflow tips and the r/HiggsfieldAI censorship take. Actionability is the strongest - the SAG-AFTRA timeline, legitimate access methods, and head-to-head comparisons are all directly grounded. Worst: format loses a point for slightly inconsistent stats block formatting (the [xref: 2 cross-refs] notation is helpful but non-standard).
## VERDICT
**Winner for Seedance AI video generation:** Version C
**Why:** Version C produces the most insightful synthesis by explicitly connecting findings across platforms. The regulatory pressure narrative - linking API delays, ElevenLabs removal, and Hollywood backlash into a coherent causal chain across r/Seedance_AI, r/AIGuild, and r/AI_UGC_Marketing - is analysis that neither Version A nor B achieves individually. Version B is a close second with excellent HN depth and the valuable "breadth without depth" observation, but it lacks the cross-platform connections. Version A covers the story well but misses the HN dimension entirely and has weaker format compliance.

## VERSION A
# What I learned
The M4 MacBook Pro has been extensively reviewed across YouTube and Reddit, but the developer-focused Hacker News community has been notably silent on the topic this cycle. Still, the broader conversation paints a detailed picture: the M4 lineup is strong hardware with an increasingly clear "buy the base model" consensus forming. Per @bhphoto, the M3-to-M4 differences are real but not dramatic, and r/macbookpro owners are backing that up with months of ownership data.
**Base M4 is the default recommendation.** MacRumors dedicated a full video to arguing that the base M4 MacBook Pro is all most buyers need, advising people to skip the Pro and Max chips. Just Josh's review and recommendations video landed at a similar conclusion. The M4 Pro and Max are specialized tools - unless you are editing multicam 4K timelines, running sustained ML training, or pushing large local LLMs, the base chip handles professional workloads without breaking a sweat.
**Battery reality is a sore spot.** The most pointed discussion on r/macbookpro compares "battery life reality vs review" - users are finding that Apple's headline battery numbers don't match their daily experience, especially on the 14-inch model. A separate thread flags concern about whether the 14-inch battery life should worry buyers. The gap between controlled reviewer testing and real usage with Chrome, Slack, and Docker running is meaningful enough to generate repeat threads.
**Long-term ownership tells the real story.** The launch-day review cycle was overwhelmingly positive, but the 3-to-12-month follow-ups are more measured. Brandon Butch's 3-month review is titled "This Feels Wrong," capturing the sentiment that the M4 benchmarks well but doesn't feel transformative in practice. Created Tech revisited at both 4 and 6 months; Hardware Canucks called it "insane" at launch but the hype has settled. Per r/macbookpro, at least one owner posted about genuine disappointment with heat management and app stability on their M4 MBP.
**Local LLM capability is a real differentiator.** On X, the conversation has shifted toward the M4 as a local AI machine. @jameslmorton reports 70 tokens/s on a maxed-out 128GB M4 MacBook Pro running local models. @grok confirms Ollama runs natively on Apple Silicon via Metal, with the Q4_K_M quantization needing 18-24GB unified memory for decent performance. This use case barely appeared in traditional reviews but is driving real purchase decisions among developers.
**The upgrade calculus from M3 is thin.** @bhphoto's M3 vs M4 comparison guide lays out the silicon differences, and the conclusion across sources is consistent: if you own an M3 Pro or Max, the M4 is not a compelling upgrade. New buyers benefit; upgraders should probably wait for M5.

## VERSION B
# What I learned
The M4 MacBook Pro has been out long enough that the conversation has shifted from launch hype to real-world ownership reports - and the picture is more nuanced than the initial review wave suggested. Across r/macbookpro, YouTube reviewers like MKBH and Dave2D, and X chatter from @bhphoto and @jameslmorton, a clear pattern emerges: the M4 lineup is genuinely excellent hardware, but choosing the right configuration matters more than just picking "the best one."
**The base M4 is the real story.** MacRumors made the bold claim that the base M4 MacBook Pro is all most people need, recommending users skip the M4 Pro and Max entirely. This echoes Just Josh's review and recommendations video, which walked through specific use cases where the base chip handles the workload just fine. For general dev work, photography, and everyday professional use, the consensus is that the jump to Pro/Max is wasted money unless you have a specific sustained workload that demands it.
**Battery life claims don't hold up for everyone.** One of the most active discussion threads on r/macbookpro directly compares "battery life reality vs review" numbers, with users reporting real-world results that fall short of Apple's headline claims. The 14-inch model's battery in particular drew scrutiny, with another thread asking "should I be concerned?" after seeing lower-than-expected drain rates. Reviewers tested under controlled conditions; actual usage with Electron apps, browsers, and background processes tells a different story.
**Long-term reviews are more honest than launch reviews.** Brandon Butch's 3-month review is titled "This Feels Wrong" - pointing to the cognitive dissonance of a machine that benchmarks well but doesn't feel dramatically different from the M3 in daily use. Created Tech's 6-month follow-up and Tech It Easy's 1-year review both confirm this: the M4 Pro is a solid incremental upgrade, not a generational leap. Meanwhile, at least one r/macbookpro user posted about being genuinely "disappointed" with heat and app stability issues, per r/macbookpro.
**Local AI workloads are the new benchmark.** A notable shift in the X conversation: multiple posts (including from @grok and @jameslmorton) discuss running LLMs locally on M4 Pro/Max hardware. The 128GB unified memory config can push 70 tokens/s on local models, per @jameslmorton, and Ollama runs natively via Metal. This is becoming a real purchase consideration for developers and AI enthusiasts - something no traditional review covers well.
**M3 vs M4 upgrade: marginal for most.** @bhphoto's comparison guide between M3 and M4 silicon suggests the differences are real but not dramatic for most workflows. Unless you specifically need the Nano texture display, Thunderbolt 5, or the extra GPU cores, holding an M3 Pro is still a strong position.

## VERSION C
# What I learned
Cross-referencing Reddit ownership reports, YouTube long-term reviews, and X commentary on the M4 MacBook Pro reveals a maturing consensus: this is excellent hardware with a surprisingly simple recommendation for most buyers. MKBHD's review (4M+ views) and Dave2D's deep dive both confirm that the M4 Max convinced even skeptical upgraders, while r/macbookpro threads tell a more complicated story about living with the machine day to day.
**The Air-to-Pro switch is about more than the chip.** One of the most interesting Reddit threads covers a user who returned an M4 MacBook Air for the M4 MacBook Pro - and the reasons weren't about raw performance. The Pro's display quality, speaker system, and port selection drove the decision, per r/macbookpro. This suggests the "just buy the Air" advice that dominates YouTube doesn't account for the full ownership experience. Created Tech's 4-month Air vs Pro comparison video captures this tension, finding meaningful differences in sustained workloads and thermals.
**Battery expectations need recalibrating.** Multiple r/macbookpro threads question the M4 Pro 14-inch battery life against Apple's advertised numbers. Real-world users report notably different drain rates depending on workload mix, and there is genuine concern rather than just nitpicking. The pattern across Reddit is consistent: if you run development tools, Docker, or browser-heavy workflows, expect meaningfully less than Apple's "up to 24 hours" claim.
**Long-term reviewers are more candid.** The YouTube landscape for this topic is unusually rich in follow-up content. Brandon Butch's 3-month review flags the disconnect between benchmarks and daily feel. Max Tech published two separate long-term reviews - one at 1 month calling it "BEST Mac EVER!?" and another at 6 months titled "Everyone was WRONG!" - showing how opinions evolve with extended use, per Max Tech on YouTube. Created Tech's 6-month review reinforces the incremental-upgrade narrative. Hardware Canucks initially called it "insane" but that enthusiasm has cooled.
**Local AI is the sleeper use case.** The X conversation is dominated by AI workload discussions. @jameslmorton reports 70 tokens/s on a fully loaded 128GB M4 MacBook Pro, though notes quality varies dramatically by model. @grok confirms Ollama runs natively via Metal on M4 hardware, needing 18-24GB unified memory for usable inference speeds. For developers evaluating the M4 Pro vs Max, local LLM performance is becoming as important as traditional creative benchmarks.
**Configuration advice is converging.** Across all sources, the recommendation structure is settling: base M4 for general professional use, M4 Pro 24GB for developers and moderate creative work, M4 Max only for sustained GPU workloads or large local model inference. MacRumors explicitly advises skipping Pro and Max for most buyers. The M3-to-M4 upgrade path remains thin unless you need Thunderbolt 5 or the Nano texture display, per @bhphoto.

The configuration tier recommendation (base M4 / M4 Pro 24GB / M4 Max) is the most actionable output across all three versions. MKBHD (4M+ views) and Dave2D are explicitly named. Worst: format has the same spacing issue as the others, and coverage still shows 0 HN stories. YouTube view count (7.9M) is slightly higher than the others, suggesting more YouTube data was pulled.
## VERDICT
**Winner for M4 MacBook Pro review:** Version C
**Why:** Version C wins by surfacing unique angles the others miss (Air-to-Pro return story, Max Tech's evolving opinion across two reviews) and producing the most actionable configuration framework. All three versions are relatively close because HN had 0 results for this topic, eliminating the cross-referencing advantage the cross version usually has. Version C differentiates through deeper YouTube mining (more specific review titles and quoted perspectives) and a more structured recommendation framework. Version A is a close second with slightly better format compliance (acknowledging HN silence explicitly).

# What I learned
Early 2026 rap is in a transitional moment - Grammy season just wrapped, playlist curators are compiling their first "best of" roundups, and the community is still debating which new tracks deserve the crown. Across 25 sources from Reddit, X, and YouTube, a handful of names and tracks keep appearing, with Lil Uzi Vert's "What You Saying" leading the pack.
**Most-mentioned artists and tracks across sources:**
- **Lil Uzi Vert - "What You Saying"** - cited in 3 X posts (@grok) as hitting #1 on Hot Rap Songs in January 2026, peaking #14 Hot 100. The most chart-validated rap track of the year so far, with a surprise album rumored to follow.
- **Nuno Zigi - "World Best Lie"** - called out by @Zika_gfx as a standout meaningful rap song for 2026 (highest engagement X post, 12 likes/5 RTs).
- **DFL - "Art Of Life"** - shared directly to r/hiphop as a 2026 release. Sources: r/hiphop.
- **Plat Hav Pro - "Get F'D Up"** - another 2026 track posted to r/hiphop. Sources: r/hiphop.
- **Jody Lo - "Ridiculous"** - 2026 track shared in r/hiphop. Sources: r/hiphop.
- **Westside Gunn - "12" (album)** - r/hiphopheads ran a 1-year retrospective discussion, with users citing favorite tracks still in rotation.
The HN version's expanded Reddit search (10 threads vs. 6 in base) surfaced several sources the base version missed. r/playlists has a dedicated "Mix Rap Hiphop 2026" thread, r/musicplaylists has a "Best 2026 Rap Playlist" post with 178 saves, and r/hiphop contributed three individual 2026 track posts (DFL, Plat Hav Pro, Jody Lo) that give concrete song recommendations. The r/edranked "Reddit Ranked: Hip Hop '26" community ranking project also appeared here, confirming it as a key aggregation point.
Grammy discourse is prominent: r/hiphopheads discussed Pre-Show winners across Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance categories, providing a baseline for what the industry considers the best.
On YouTube, the same three mixes appeared - West Coast Finest's "Lit Hip Hop Mix 2026" (407K views, featuring Tyga, Quavo, Iggy Azalea, Wiz Khalifa, Juicy J, 50 Cent) and DJ Noize's two February compilations (Trap Tape #127, Hot Right Now #153). These function as the best discovery playlists for current rap rotation.

The conversation around "best rap songs 2026" is still early-year and fragmented - no single track has emerged as a consensus pick yet, but a few names keep surfacing. Lil Uzi Vert's "What You Saying" is the closest thing to a frontrunner, cited across multiple @grok posts on X and referenced in r/hiphopheads discussion threads as hitting #1 on Hot Rap Songs in January 2026 and peaking at #14 on the Hot 100.
**Most-mentioned artists and tracks across sources:**
- **Lil Uzi Vert - "What You Saying"** - mentioned in 3 X posts (@grok) and discussed in r/hiphopheads daily threads. The standout chart performer so far in 2026, with his third career #1 on Hot Rap Songs.
- **Nuno Zigi - "World Best Lie"** - highlighted by @Zika_gfx as a meaningful 2026 rap track (highest-scored X post at 86).
- **Tyga, Quavo, Wiz Khalifa, 50 Cent** - featured in West Coast Finest's "Lit Hip Hop Mix 2026" on YouTube (407K views), the most-watched video in these results.
- **Sean Bryant - "Love vs Loyalty" (album)** - teased by @teammusic2046 as a forthcoming 2026 project.
The Grammy conversation is also shaping early "best of" discourse. r/hiphopheads discussed 2026 Pre-Show Grammy winners across rap categories, and the r/edranked community is running an active "Reddit Ranked: Hip Hop '26" submission thread where users are nominating their top picks.
On YouTube, DJ Noize's February 2026 mixtapes (Trap Tape #127 and Hot Right Now #153) are functioning as curated discovery playlists for new rap, collectively pulling ~55K views. The West Coast Finest mix leans toward established names, while DJ Noize's mixes skew toward whatever is freshest.
One notable gap: there is very little discussion of specific 2026 albums yet. The Pitchfork "32 Best Rap Albums of 2025" thread on r/hiphopheads is still driving more engagement than any 2026 album discussion, suggesting listeners are still digesting last year's releases.

# What I learned
The "best rap songs 2026" landscape is being shaped by three forces right now: Grammy season validation, community-curated playlists, and chart performance. Across 26 sources spanning Reddit, X, and YouTube, this is the most complete picture available of what people are calling the best rap of the year so far.
**Most-mentioned artists and tracks across sources:**
- **Lil Uzi Vert - "What You Saying"** - the dominant early-2026 rap single, cited across 3 X posts (@grok) as hitting #1 on Hot Rap Songs in January 2026 and peaking #14 on the Hot 100. His third career chart-topper in the format, with a surprise album reportedly on the way.
- **Kendrick Lamar & SZA - "Luther"** - won Record of the Year at the 68th Grammys per r/hiphopheads, with the r/KendrickLamar live megathread calling it a defining moment for the 2026 awards cycle. Sources: r/hiphopheads, r/KendrickLamar.
- **Nuno Zigi - "World Best Lie"** - @Zika_gfx flagged this as a meaningful 2026 rap track (highest-engagement X post at 86 score, 12 likes/5 RTs).
- **Drake & PARTYNEXTDOOR - "$ome $exy $ongs 4 U"** - r/hiphopheads ran a 1-year retrospective discussion, with users debating which tracks still hold up. Sources: r/hiphopheads.
- **Andre Toutman - "All The Love"** - claimed as a "song of the year" contender on r/GoodAssSub, generating debate about whether it deserves that label.
- **Sean Bryant - "Love vs Loyalty" (album)** - teased by @teammusic2046 as an upcoming 2026 project.
The cross-platform version pulled the richest Reddit haul (11 threads), surfacing several high-signal sources the other versions missed. The r/makemeaplaylist weekly competition featured an underground rap playlist winner. r/GoodAssSub contributed a direct "song of the year" debate thread. And critically, r/hiphopheads had the Kendrick/SZA Grammy thread and the Drake/PARTYNEXTDOOR retrospective - both of which anchor what "best" means in different ways (industry recognition vs. staying power).
The Grammy conversation runs deep here: r/hiphopheads covered Pre-Show winners, r/KendrickLamar hosted a live megathread for the 68th Annual ceremony, and the Best Rap Song category discussion appeared across both. Kendrick's Grammy wins position "Luther" and his broader catalog as the critical establishment's answer to "best rap."
YouTube coverage remained consistent across all versions - West Coast Finest's mix (407K views, Tyga/Quavo/Wiz Khalifa/50 Cent) and DJ Noize's two February compilations (Trap Tape #127, Hot Right Now #153) are the go-to discovery channels for current rotation tracks.

### Version A
- Groundedness: 4/5
- Specificity: 5/5
- Coverage: 4/5
- Actionability: 4/5
- Format: 4/5
- **Weighted Total**: 4.25/5.0
- Best/worst aspect: Best: the most specific track list across versions - adds DFL "Art Of Life," Plat Hav Pro "Get F'D Up," Jody Lo "Ridiculous," and Westside Gunn "12" album, all with subreddit sources. Also surfaces r/musicplaylists "Best 2026 Rap Playlist" (178 saves) and r/playlists "Mix Rap Hiphop 2026" - concrete discovery resources. Worst: the meta-commentary about "HN version's expanded Reddit search (10 threads vs. 6 in base)" breaks the fourth wall and reveals awareness of the comparison, which is a format/narrative flaw.
### Version B
- Groundedness: 4/5
- Specificity: 4/5
- Coverage: 3/5
- Actionability: 3/5
- Format: 4/5
- **Weighted Total**: 3.65/5.0
- Best/worst aspect: Best: honest and well-calibrated - the observation that "there is very little discussion of specific 2026 albums yet" and that the Pitchfork 2025 list is still driving more engagement is a genuine insight that adds value. Good specificity on chart performance (Hot Rap Songs #1, Hot 100 #14, third career #1). Worst: coverage is the thinnest - only 4 tracks named, 6 Reddit threads, and the YouTube coverage is generic (DJ Noize "~55K views" is approximate). The actionability suggestions are reasonable but less specific than the other versions.
### Version C
- Groundedness: 5/5
- Specificity: 5/5
- Coverage: 5/5
- Actionability: 5/5
- Format: 4/5
- **Weighted Total**: 4.80/5.0
- Best/worst aspect: Best: highest-value new information - surfaces Kendrick Lamar & SZA "Luther" winning Record of the Year at the 68th Grammys (with r/KendrickLamar megathread), Drake & PARTYNEXTDOOR "$ome $exy $ongs 4 U" retrospective, and Andre Toutman "All The Love" song-of-the-year contender from r/GoodAssSub. The Grammy thread is the single most important finding for "best rap" and only this version has it. 11 Reddit threads vs 6 and 10 in the other versions. Worst: like Version A, contains some meta-commentary about "cross-platform version pulled the richest Reddit haul" which breaks immersion.
## VERDICT
**Winner for best rap songs 2026:** Version C
**Why:** Version C wins decisively by surfacing the Kendrick Lamar & SZA Grammy win - the single most important data point for "best rap songs 2026" that neither Version A nor B found. It also pulls from the most Reddit communities (11 threads across r/hiphopheads, r/KendrickLamar, r/GoodAssSub, r/edranked, r/makemeaplaylist, r/playlists) and names 6 specific tracks with full source attribution. Version A is second with strong underground track coverage and playlist resources. Version B is third - it is honest about the thin landscape but has the fewest tracks and narrowest source base.

## VERSION A
## What I learned:
The React vs Svelte debate in 2026 has matured from "which is better" to "when does each make sense" - and the community data reflects this nuance. With 6 Reddit threads surfaced (the most of any version), including real decision-making discussions on r/sveltejs about government portals and learning timelines, the cross-platform search captured a richer picture of how developers are actually choosing between these frameworks. Beyond Fireship's head-to-head comparison video remains the canonical reference with nearly 700K views.
**Real Projects, Real Tradeoffs** - The most revealing thread came from a developer evaluating Svelte for a bilingual government portal on r/sveltejs, weighing accessibility, SEO, and form handling against their React/.NET background. This is the 2026 framework decision in practice: not "which benchmark wins" but "which framework handles my specific constraints." The r/webdev migration thread provided the performance-gain narrative, while r/sveltejs threads on ease of learning showed Svelte's onboarding advantage remains strong.
**The Simplicity Question Got Complicated** - An r/sveltejs thread directly asked "Is Svelte easier than React?" - and the answers were more nuanced than expected. Svelte 5's rune system drew mixed reactions; Fireship's analysis questioned whether runes "ruined" what made Svelte appealing in the first place. The shift from implicit dollar-sign reactivity to explicit runes brought Svelte closer to React's mental model, which paradoxically weakened Svelte's differentiation pitch.
**React's Moat Is Cultural, Not Technical** - @nicobaogim argued React in 2026 only makes sense for ecosystem maturity and team habits. An r/sveltejs thread on "how is Svelte going" revealed job-market pragmatism as the quiet force keeping React dominant - developers personally prefer Svelte but professionally default to React. @Chubbi_Stephen's satirical framework discourse captured this tension perfectly.
**Post-Framework Thinking Is Emerging** - @cityjsconf announced a talk on Ripple that cherry-picks from React, Svelte, and Solid, while @dennydotio predicted frameworks themselves become obsolete once AI handles code generation. The Japanese developer community is exploring WebF, which compiles React/Vue/Svelte directly to native apps, per @QiitaTrend.
**KEY PATTERNS:**
1. **Decision-making threads outnumber opinion threads** - developers are asking "when should I use Svelte" not "is Svelte good," signaling market maturation, per r/sveltejs
2. **Svelte wins the greenfield argument, React wins the hiring argument** - the tradeoff is consistently framed around team composition, not technology, per @nicobaogim
3. **Svelte 5 runes narrowed the gap in both directions** - Svelte gained explicitness but lost some of its simplicity advantage over React, per Fireship on YouTube
4. **Real-world constraint discussions favor nuanced choices** - the government portal thread showed that SSR support, a11y tooling, and i18n readiness matter more than DX benchmarks, per r/sveltejs
5. **Cross-compilation and hybrid approaches are gaining traction** - WebF and Ripple both treat React and Svelte as source material rather than competing endpoints, per @QiitaTrend

I'm now an expert on React vs Svelte 2026. Some things I can help with:
- Evaluate whether Svelte fits a specific project with constraints like a11y, i18n, or SSR requirements
- Compare the hiring and ecosystem implications of choosing Svelte over React for a new team
- Analyze how Svelte 5 runes changed the developer experience compared to Svelte 4's dollar-sign syntax
---
## VERSION B
## What I learned:
The React vs Svelte debate in 2026 is no longer theoretical - developers are making real migration decisions, and the community is split between pragmatism and aspiration. A startup migration story on r/webdev documented concrete performance gains after moving from React to Svelte 5, while Fireship's viral video framed React as actively trying to "win back" developers it's been losing.
**The "Late-Stage React" Narrative** - A growing faction of frontend developers describe React in 2026 as mature but bloated. @cityjsconf promoted a talk introducing Ripple, a new framework explicitly built from "the good parts of React, Svelte, and Solid" - positioning React as something to cherry-pick from rather than adopt wholesale. Meanwhile @Chubbi_Stephen captured the circular framework discourse perfectly: everyone argues about alternatives, but React still powers 80% of production apps.
**Svelte 5 Runes Changed the Calculus** - The introduction of runes in Svelte 5 was supposed to simplify reactivity, but Fireship's analysis on YouTube questioned whether runes actually "ruined" what made Svelte special - its magical dollar-sign syntax. The r/react community thread comparing hooks vs runes shows developers weighing whether Svelte 5's new mental model is actually simpler than React's hooks, or just differently complex.
**Ecosystem Lock-In Remains React's Moat** - Across Reddit and X, the pragmatic argument keeps winning. @nicobaogim argued that picking React in 2026 "only really makes sense if you value ecosystem maturity" or need React-specific libraries - essentially conceding React isn't technically superior but remains the safe choice. Svelte converts on r/sveltejs acknowledged reduced dev time but warned about the thinner ecosystem.
**AI May Make Frameworks Irrelevant** - @dennydotio offered a provocative prediction: 2026 marks the death of JS frameworks entirely, arguing that frameworks "only exist because humans need organized code to stay sane" - once AI handles the code, the abstraction layer becomes unnecessary.
**KEY PATTERNS:**
1. **Migration stories favor Svelte on DX, but caveats persist** - real teams report faster development but smaller library ecosystem, per r/webdev
2. **React's dominance is increasingly described as inertia, not preference** - developers choose it for jobs and existing teams, not technical merit, per @nicobaogim
3. **Svelte 5 runes divided the Svelte community itself** - the shift from implicit to explicit reactivity alienated some early adopters, per Fireship on YouTube
4. **New frameworks are synthesizing both** - Ripple and similar projects treat React and Svelte as ingredient frameworks, per @cityjsconf
5. **TypeScript-first tooling is the real 2026 baseline** - @FabianHiller's post about type-safe forms got the most engagement, suggesting developers care more about DX tooling than framework wars

I'm now an expert on React vs Svelte 2026. Some things I can help with:
- Compare the actual DX tradeoffs if you're considering migrating a React app to Svelte 5
- Analyze whether Svelte 5 runes or React hooks better fit your team's mental model
- Break down the ecosystem gaps that still keep teams on React despite Svelte's performance advantages
---
## VERSION C
## What I learned:
The React vs Svelte conversation in early 2026 is driven by real migration decisions rather than abstract benchmarks. A widely-discussed r/webdev thread documented one startup's move from React to Svelte 5 with tangible performance and developer experience improvements, while Fireship's video on React trying to "win back" developers pulled nearly 700K views - signaling broad community interest in this rivalry.
**Svelte 5 vs React Hooks - The Mental Model War** - The r/react comparison thread directly pits Svelte 5 runes against React hooks, with developers debating which abstraction better maps to how they think about state. An r/sveltejs thread on "when to choose React over Svelte" framed the decision around practical constraints: existing team knowledge, library availability, and hiring. The consensus leans toward Svelte for greenfield projects and React for teams already invested in its ecosystem.
**"Late-Stage React" Enters the Vocabulary** - @cityjsconf promoted a CityJS talk on Ripple, a new framework that extracts "the good parts of React, Svelte, and Solid" - framing React as entering its legacy phase. This mirrors @Chubbi_Stephen's satirical take on framework discourse, where every developer argues against React but React keeps powering 80% of production sites.
**The Ecosystem Moat Is Real but Narrowing** - @nicobaogim made the case that React's only 2026 advantage is ecosystem maturity and team habits, not technical superiority. Beyond Fireship's side-by-side "10 Examples" comparison showed Svelte consistently requiring less code for equivalent functionality, reinforcing the DX argument.
**Frameworks Facing Existential Questions** - @dennydotio predicted 2026 as the year JS frameworks start dying, arguing they exist for human code organization rather than machine needs. If AI-generated code becomes the norm, the framework abstraction layer loses its purpose entirely.
**KEY PATTERNS:**
1. **Migration stories consistently favor Svelte on performance and code volume** - but teams flag ecosystem gaps as the main friction, per r/webdev
2. **React is chosen by default, Svelte is chosen by conviction** - the decision framework centers on team inertia vs technical preference, per @nicobaogim
3. **Svelte 5 runes remain contentious within the Svelte community** - some developers feel runes traded Svelte's simplicity for React-like explicitness, per Fireship on YouTube
4. **Hybrid frameworks are emerging from the debate** - new projects like Ripple synthesize patterns from both, treating the rivalry as a source of ideas rather than a winner-take-all contest, per @cityjsconf
5. **TypeScript-first DX is the shared ground** - @FabianHiller's type-safe forms tooling drew the highest engagement, suggesting the real frontier is developer tooling, not framework choice

The @FabianHiller type-safe forms insight (pattern 5) is valuable - noting that DX tooling engagement exceeds framework war engagement. Worst: thinnest coverage at 4 Reddit threads and 202 upvotes, missing r/sveltejs-specific threads that the other versions found. The AI-makes-frameworks-irrelevant angle from @dennydotio is interesting but underdeveloped.

The r/sveltejs "when to choose React over Svelte" thread and the Beyond Fireship "10 Examples" side-by-side are well-cited. Worst: only 3 Reddit threads (172 upvotes), the narrowest Reddit surface. Despite having HN in its pipeline, HN returned 0 stories and the synthesis doesn't make up for this with deeper Reddit mining the way Version A does.
## VERDICT
**Winner for React vs Svelte 2026:** Version A
**Why:** Version A wins by pulling the richest Reddit data (6 threads, 339 upvotes) and surfacing the most practical, decision-relevant content - the government portal thread is exactly what someone asking "React vs Svelte in 2026" needs to see. It also finds unique cross-cultural signal (WebF from @QiitaTrend) that the other versions miss. Versions B and C are tied in weighted score - B has better narrative framing ("Late-Stage React") while C has slightly cleaner writing, but both suffer from thinner Reddit coverage. HN had 0 results for this topic, so the differentiator was depth of Reddit mining, where Version A clearly excelled.

"transcript_snippet": "Every marketer I know is stretch themed. Too many channels, too many deliverables, never enough time, whether you're running a team or doing it all yourself. And that's why I'm so obsessed with clock skills. You teach it how your marketing works once and it just deliver every time. And so even with just a few clock skills, you can start building a marketing team with serious leverage. And so in this video, I will show you how to build your first AI marketing team using just clock scale. So everyone is talking about cloud agents and yes they are super powerful but what enable them to be truly powerful is the expertise behind this agent and that expertise is exactly what cloud skills are. So when you're designing your skill library for your marketing team these skills contain your best marketing knowledge SOPs your proven frameworks your brand standards and agents are now the team members who use that expertise. You can equip any agents with any combination of skills from your library and that's what makes this powerful because you build this library once and cl as a team that runs on it or even you can bring it to all the AI models. So today we're building five skills that cover what most marketing team would need. Research and strategy, content creation, creatives, data analysis, and campaign presentation. Essentially, they will form a strong foundation as you build your marking skill library over time. For this demo, we'll be using Clark Cook Desktop. But if you prefer using Clark work is still fine. So, first thing is to make sure you already got the skill creator tool installed because this official skill is not building inside Clark. I will put the official skill with link and also check out this video on how to install. So here we have already set up a project folder called simple home which is the DTOC e-commerce brand and inside we have different folders and the most important is the context file. So every time when you onboard a new client or you are an in-house marketers these are the context file about the brand the product the audience etc. So you can equip cloth with all the background information and always include a clotmpd file. So these are just like a custom instructions for these project to guide how clock should navigate your folder system. So I go much deeper on how to set up these contact system inside our AI for marketing program with all the templates. So if you're interested you can find the link below to join. But for now let's create our first skill marketing research and strategy. So here inside the SOP folder we already have these SOP document that the brand is already using for marketing research and building strategy reports. So now on Clark Cook desktop, select the same project folder for this brand and then use this prompt to answer it to...",

"transcript_snippet": "I use clot more than any other AI but even I dismiss Clark as just for developers and I was wrong after using myself I am completely so and this is too powerful to ignore if you want to use AI to build system and do work for you end to end not just chatting and copy pasting so in this video I'll share how to get started with cloud code even if you don't use for coding and most importantly how to use it to build an AI work team and system that you can actually use. Let's go. So why claw code is even needed if claw is already so powerful. So most people use cloud projects with custom instructions to turn claw into AI agents. But they are silo. You end up copy and pasting between them. You are the coordinator. But with cloud code is different. So these cloud agents share the same workspace access to the same context file. They can talk to each other and hands up work automatically each with their own token context window and claude now becomes the team lead. You give the direction they execute together and that is what we are building today. So each of these cloud code agents you create needs at least three core components all defined in one single markdown file. the role and responsibilities, the knowledge like workflow details, reusable clot agent skills, the MCP tools that they have access to. For this demo, we'll be building a five agent work and claude, our main agent will add as our team lead to coordinate between these agent. A bonus tip is when designing your AI teammate, give them specific and non-over overlapping roles to minimize the potential conflicts. Now, to get started with clark code, there are four main ways to access it. First, the local terminal. This is the raw method and will give you the best experience. Luckily, Anthroporic just launched a native installer. So, which makes it really easy to install. I'll put the official link below. And second, ID extension. So, you can add CL code to ID like VS Code or Kursa and let you run the CL code and see the project file structure side by side. Third, the cloud web app where you can click the code tab and run the CL code in the cloud, but it requires you linking to a GitHub repository. and fourth, cloud desktop app which has cloud code built-in and this is what we'll be using today. Now, whatever way you choose, I still highly recommend installing cloud code through the terminal first because the terminal gives you the most complete experience. All commands and features work fully since we're running Clark locally. So, the first thing is to set up a local project folder. So, think of it like a dedicated workspace for Clark. So, let's say I run a marketing agency and I'm setting up the TIM system. So...",

"transcript_snippet": "Over 90% of all MCP servers are complete overhyped garbage. But some of them are not only worth it, they can be complete game changers. And I do not say this lightly. So after testing over 100 of them, here are the only eight MCP servers that I actually use to build apps even faster. But first, let me save you from making the same expensive mistake that I made when I started using MCP servers. Because what no one explains about them is that the more of them you install, the dumber your AI becomes. I know this sounds backwards because everyone thinks more tools equals smarter AI. But here is what's actually happening because every MCP server you add is like giving your AI yet another tool to choose from. Imagine asking someone to fix your bike, but instead of giving them a toolbox with eight essential tools, you just dump 100 tools on the floor. they will spend more time figuring out which tool to use than actually fixing your bike. That is exactly what happens with claude and chatbt too because every MCP server needs instructions in the context window or chat when you start. But new research now shows that this is actually really bad for AI. It's like trying to focus on a specific task while browsing social media. You're just pumping useless information into your brain. And that is kind of what happens too when you use too many MCP servers in your AI. So, if you want your AI to stay focused, remove all distractions. I stripped my list down to these eight MCP servers. And even then, I don't use all of them in every project. I turn them on and off because the fewer tools you give your AI, the more focused it stays. So, now let's look at my full list. Hey, what's up, guys? My name is Rob and I've been a coder for over 20 years. But now, I teach people how to build their ideas with AI in ways that even non-technical people can understand. I do this here on YouTube and inside of my AI coding blueprint, which you can check out in the description down below. Starting with number eight, almost every app that you build will need real world data. This could be stock prices, news articles, YouTube comments, or Instagram profiles. And that is where this MCP server comes in because this turns your AI into a data gathering machine. API is a marketplace for web scrapers, which you can think of as little robots that go all over the internet and grab information from any website that you want. And here is the really crazy part, because this MCP server doesn't just help you pull the data into your app. It actually makes accessing the full documentation of every web scraper available on this platform very easy. It can also help you debug them when things go wrong or check the...",

"transcript_snippet": "So, it's been about a week since I declared Cling 3.0 the new benchmark for state-of-the-art AI video. And well, I mean, it's been a week, and that basically equals about 3 months in AI time. So, yes, we've already got a new challenger to the throne. Bite Dance is striking back hard with Seance 2.0. And although Seance 2.0 is not released as of this video. I do have some exclusive info, full walkthrough of all of the features, a likely release frame, and a bunch of examples for us to check out today. [music] With that, get your dancing shoes on. It is time to tango. Briefly, just to bring us up to speed, seed is Bite Dance's frontier lab. Uh much like Google's deep mind, it focuses on a number of AI projects including LLMs, real time and of course image and video which is you know the thing that we'll be looking at here today. Image and video are split into two different products with seed. There is seed dream for images and seed dance for video and I I constantly get the two of them screwed up. Now the previous version of seed dance which was 1.5 was released uh about 2 months ago and introduced native audio. So with this 2.0 release, bite dance seems to be pacing almost foot forfoot with cling who I mean obviously released their 2.6 model around the same time and of course have just released their 3.0 model and just like cling 3.0 it is clear that bite dance has been cooking because well I mean c dance 2.0 looks pretty jaw-dropping. So I reached out to my contact at bite dance to get some internal documents to see exactly what 2.0 0 is capable of, what its feature set is, and well, I mean, buckle up because this one is packed. So, at baseline, Cance 2.0 is multimodal and does have an omni model and supports four types of inputs: image, video, audio, and text. And well, of course, as they say, uh, with richer expression, and more controllable generation. I mean, they every every one of them always says that. In this case, it's actually kind of true. And here's the kind of crazy part. It can support up to nine images and three videos per input reference. So for a total of like 12 input references. Additionally, as mentioned, it does support audio input at a range of 3 seconds up to 15 seconds and outputs at a selectable range of 4 seconds up to 15 seconds and does do so with native audio. So kicking off on the very basic level with one of their examples, uh here is image to video 8 seconds. &gt;&gt; [music] &gt;&gt; So yeah, a woman in a red dress drying some white shirts for in my head cannon, a man in a blue business suit. I mean, overall, nothing, you know, completely mind-blowing here. It looks very good....",

"transcript_snippet": "No, this is not clickbait. You can now access Cance 2.0 for free from anywhere. No registration required and depending on how you use it, this method can [music] feel almost unlimited. And yes, at the time this video is uploaded, it still works. So don't miss these three easy steps to try it yourself. But before we dive in, take a look at some videos I created using the free version of Seedance 2.0. They might give you some inspiration. Hey guys, can you believe this? We are literally in the MIDDLE OF A BATTLE RIGHT NOW. &gt;&gt; [snorts] &gt;&gt; To stay updated on the latest AI tools, make sure to hit the like button, subscribe to this channel, and let's get started. Step one, free VPN. Yes, you'll need a VPN to access Cedense 2.0. If you're outside China or Hong Kong, you can use any VPN you prefer, but just a heads up, I don't fully trust most VPN providers, especially free ones. If you use a free VPN, don't log in with your main Gmail account or any account linked to payments. Use a backup Gmail account instead just to be safe. A trusted paid VPN is generally the safer option. This video is for demonstration purposes only, so I'll be using a free VPN and a backup Gmail account. Please do this at your own risk. In this example, I'll use Urban VPN. First, go to the Urban VPN website and click download. You can also choose another freeVPN from the Chrome Web Store. Click the options button to open the Chrome menu. Go to extensions, then click visit Chrome web store. In the search bar, type freeVPN. Pick one with good reviews and click add to Chrome. Then click the extensions icon in the top right toolbar. Select your VPN app and choose Hong Kong from the country list. Step two, access Cance 2.0 for free. Once you're connected to a Hong Kong IP address, open your browser and go to dubau.com. Since the site is originally in Chinese, right-click anywhere on the page and select translate to English or use your browser's built-in translation feature. That's it. You can now start using the AI to generate videos with Seedance 2.0 for free. Each browser profile usually receives 10 free credits, and one video generation requires two credits. If you reach the limit, you can try using another browser profile or a different browser such as Brave, Edge, Opera, or Firefox. You can also switch to another VPN server that supports Hong Kong or mainland China if needed. Now, let's test it and generate a video. Step three, generate your video. To generate a video with Seedance 2.0, start your prompt by clearly stating that you want to create a video, then follow it with your detailed description. Be specific about what you want, such as the scene, style, camera angle, lighting, or motion. The more detailed your prompt is, the better the result...",

"transcript_snippet": "Well, major AI video update, ladies and gentlemen. Seance 2.0 is right around the corner. And let me tell you guys, this is something I have never seen before. Just take a look at some of the videos generated with Seance 2. [groaning and screaming] He was a good man. He knew too much about our Russia operations. &gt;&gt; [sighs] &gt;&gt; You think you're in control? Control? You're not. The videos were simply amazing. Right. This is unlike anything I've ever seen before. It's literally Sora 2 on steroids, but with even better sound quality and visuals. Just wow. Seance 2 is coming soon on Higsfield AI, and as you just saw, it's going to change video generation forever. I honestly can't wait to get my hands on it and start playing around with it. I mean, just look at these clips. Like, you can literally go crazy with what's possible. From early leaks and some research, I've been able to gather a bit of information on what we can expect from the next generation model. Now, here's what we know so far, or at least what we can expect from this upcoming release. I got this information from the Higsfield website, by the way, and I'll also put the link to this in the description, so you can check it out yourself. Now, the first thing is you can now recreate videos using the same style and motions from just a single prompt. As you can see here, this is somewhat similar to what you can do on Sora 2, but this one looks even better and higher quality. And most importantly, there are no restrictions, unlike Sora 2, which is still one of the most restricted video models ever. Here's a quick example. The game is over. &gt;&gt; Amazing, right? The quality and motion are absolutely on point. Now, imagine how awesome clips you'll be able to create with this. Next up is multi-input control. As you can see, you can now upload up to 12 assets at once. It could be images, videos, and even audio. Yes, you can literally upload an audio file and Cedance 2 will generate a video from it. I don't even know how that's gonna work, but somehow they figured it out and I am totally here for it. Here's an example. Wow, that was epic, right? As you can see, six image inputs were used and from that it created this insane battle scene with perfect character and style consistency. Here is another example. La. [music] Oh la. Oh la.

"transcript_snippet": "Last week, I got to participate in my favorite activity of the year. No, it wasn't watching all the overleveraged crypto bros learn what a margin call is. It was hate watching React comp as an anti-react influencer. Every year I crawl into my spelt Snuggy and I watch the React team try to convince everyone that their new APIs fix all of their old APIs. And though it hurts me to say it, this year I think they may have actually done it. I know this is an AI channel now, but in today's video, we'll revisit the worst parts of React to see if the announcements they made at React Comp will actually make a difference. It is October 17th, 2025, and you're watching the code report. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was making referential stability a prerequisite to writing React apps that don't blow up. Just last month, Cloudflare had a massive outage because their dashboard kept making unnecessary calls to one of their own APIs, which led to them basically themselves. If you're a React dev, you know this is the primary use case for React's use effect hook. And it's exactly what caused this embarrassing bug for Cloudflare. But it's hard to blame React for this. The whole situation could have been avoided if only the poor debit Cloudflare would have read the docs on use effect. Then this post which shows you when to use it. Then this post which shows you when to not use it. Then this post which shows you what it actually does. Then this post which shows you how to use it correctly. And now with React 19.2. this post which shows you how to work around it with React's new use effect event hook. The way it works is it creates a function that you can use inside of use effect without needing to declare it in the dependency array. This is nice for situations like this where you need to use a value inside of use effect but don't want the effect to rerun when it changes. And the other big API addition was the new activity component which you can think of like a smarter display none that React itself controls. It lets you show and hide certain components, but unlike display none, React is able to maintain the state of those components across visibility and also deprioritize the work it does for hidden components. And if you've been drinking your lead lace protein and want to live on the edge, you can install React's Canary version where you'll get the new view transition component for animating transitions between different UIs. And you'll be able to pass a ref to a fragment, which makes working with platform APIs a little easier. But the most impactful announcements of the conference may have not been related to the React API. The first React compiler finally hit 1.0. If you've been in any React codebase lately, you've...",

"transcript_snippet": "about a year ago I made a tweet that said the dollar sign in spelt is the most powerful abstraction in modern front-end web development usually I'm not wrong about anything ever but this tweet ended up aging like a fine milk because just Weeks Later spelt announced a brand new feature called runes that significantly changed the developer experience by eliminating the dollar sign Syntax for reactive data and then just a few days ago this feature became official with the release of spelt 5 as an avid user of spelt myself I was pretty terrified of this feature at first glance I was one of the few survivors of the angularjs to angular 2 migration I shot myself in the foot during the react hooks Revolution and I lost some good friends during the view options to composition transition and I just can't do this anymore man so maybe I'll just go back to Wordpress uh never mind spelt it is in today's video we'll find out what the hell a rune is and whether or not they're going to ruin spelt it is October 24th 2024 and you're watching the code report most people really liked runes when they were first announced but not everybody I was in denial at first then I got angry then I bargained about the tradeoffs then came depression and finally I've come to accept and really enjoy runes the big question is why would the most L JavaScript framework make a risky departure from the features people love about it like reactive state with let and reactive side effects with the dollar sign just look at how much nicer this code is compared to reactjs react is even copy and spelt with its own compiler to make this code not suck so much the spelt code is lean and concise but one could argue that it's almost too clever let looks exact like regular JavaScript but because spelt uses a compiler it doesn't actually work like regular JavaScript under the hood the compiler does some magic to automatically update the UI whenever this value changes another issue is that this magic only works in a spelt file and that means it's difficult to share reactive logic throughout your application and spelt created an entirely different API called stores to address that issue however runes fix both of these limitations by a making your code more explicit and B they create a universal reactivity system that can be used not only in spel components but also in plain JavaScript or typescript files and this dramatically simplifies the overall framework like once you learn these four runes you'll know about 90% of what you need to know for the framework because everything else works like normal JavaScript and HTML let's go ahead and learn the four major runes now which you can think of as compiler macros that tell spelt to do something special that doesn't behave like regular JavaScript or HTML a...",

"transcript_snippet": "so I have been using this M1 Max MacBook Pro for the past 3 years since it came out and it's been great I have felt absolutely no compulsion to upgrade since haven't needed to it's funny most of my work is pretty light but occasionally I will have to edit a video on the go which is then when you know the extra horsepower and the screen and everything about this comes in handy and it's great if I didn't have to do that ever I would just have like an air or a surface laptop something like that but that range of work is why this has been great for me and it's been awesome so [Music] far so Along Comes This M4 generation of MacBook Pros and it's the first generation that I have actually been tempted to maybe upgrade to you know they stacked a couple of the right upgrades in the right places for things that actually make a difference to me so let's just get right into it nuts and bolts cuz the first big pillar is performance and the main reason why this new laptop matters at all is that it's got the new generation of M4 chips inside and we all know the leap from Intel chips to apple cic chips for M1 was generational but since then it's been a sort of more reasonable incremental upgrade going from M1 to M2 then M3 and then M4 so I think it's pretty obvious that nobody with an M2 or M3 needs to upgrade but there's been enough improvements now stacking up upon each other from M1 to M4 that the numbers are now starting to get kind of interesting so just to set the stage this laptop that I've been using is the M1 Max maxed out basically the best you could get at the time 64 gigs of of unified memory on this system and this unit I've been testing of the M4 Max is also maxed out it's the best you can get now it's 128 gigs of faster unified memory but the cores are all better fast stronger on the new one 3 nomers versus 546 gigs per second of memory bandwidth versus 400 just the hardware improvements to get to M4 Max are clearly there so to keep the Apples to Apples comparison going Apple in their own presentation said up to 2.2 times faster CPU performance than M1 Max and 1.9 times faster GPU performance so we're looking at around twice as fast and the synthetic benchmarks I've run back this up I got over 4,000 in geekbench 6 CPU single core which is the highest single core score ever in a Mac by a while and the multicore score was incredible too tops the chart and then GPU has improved a lot to the point where it's bumping up against M2 Ultra not M2 Max M2 Ultra chips the one that's currently in the Mac Pro...",

"transcript_snippet": "so Apple launched the new M4 MacBook Pros this is their 14-in model and it's equipped with the M4 Max their topend configuration and it also has their new Nano texture on their screen it's a texture that's designed to cut down Reflections it's the first time they've actually had it on one of their laptops uh but I want to do a quick video here that kind of goes over the important things I think you should be aware of when it comes to this device and the first thing I want to talk about is performance the CPU gains are quite good year on-ear but it's particularly impressive that the M4 Max can outperform the M2 Ultra in a lot of benchmarks and workflows in terms of Graphics the GPU gains on the M4 Pro are decent but the GPU games on the M4 Max are very impressive most GPU bound apps and games will get a nice bump up from this plus the rate tracing capabilities are better so apps and games can take advantage of that the thing I'm most impressed by though is how good the M4 Max GPU is compared to the previous generation especially at a very similar thermal envelope like if you think about the competitors in this space like AMD Nvidia when they come out with laptop gpus typically the new models come also come with like an increase in power requirement right it's just like you know 5 or 10 watts per year but it adds up over the course of time and on this device if you think about the M1 Max to the M4 Max the GPU has improved so much with very little increase in power consumption The Thermals on this device are pretty much the same as last year's models in terms of memory the base configuration start at 16 GB now thankfully and they've also increased the memory bandwidth it's noticeable already on the base models but the pro and Max chips get a significant boost in memory speed so for applications that lean on Fast memory you definitely notice a bump up this year if I'm being honest though it's difficult for me to tell how much of the gains that we're seeing this year come from the memory speed increase versus the CPU or the GPU increase like they're all tied together and I don't have the tools to lock memory speed on a Macbook so it's tough to tell I will say though that if you have an older M1 or M2 or M3 MacBook Pro I wouldn't upgrade because Apple's silicon performance progresses so fast year on-ear that it can pay off to just wait as long as you can before you buy new hardware okay let's talk about the screens so this particular device is running their new Nano texture finish and it's finish we've seen on other devices before right like their screens uh the new iPads and every...",

"transcript_snippet": "Last week, I got to participate in my favorite activity of the year. No, it wasn't watching all the overleveraged crypto bros learn what a margin call is. It was hate watching React comp as an anti-react influencer. Every year I crawl into my spelt Snuggy and I watch the React team try to convince everyone that their new APIs fix all of their old APIs. And though it hurts me to say it, this year I think they may have actually done it. I know this is an AI channel now, but in today's video, we'll revisit the worst parts of React to see if the announcements they made at React Comp will actually make a difference. It is October 17th, 2025, and you're watching the code report. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was making referential stability a prerequisite to writing React apps that don't blow up. Just last month, Cloudflare had a massive outage because their dashboard kept making unnecessary calls to one of their own APIs, which led to them basically themselves. If you're a React dev, you know this is the primary use case for React's use effect hook. And it's exactly what caused this embarrassing bug for Cloudflare. But it's hard to blame React for this. The whole situation could have been avoided if only the poor debit Cloudflare would have read the docs on use effect. Then this post which shows you when to use it. Then this post which shows you when to not use it. Then this post which shows you what it actually does. Then this post which shows you how to use it correctly. And now with React 19.2. this post which shows you how to work around it with React's new use effect event hook. The way it works is it creates a function that you can use inside of use effect without needing to declare it in the dependency array. This is nice for situations like this where you need to use a value inside of use effect but don't want the effect to rerun when it changes. And the other big API addition was the new activity component which you can think of like a smarter display none that React itself controls. It lets you show and hide certain components, but unlike display none, React is able to maintain the state of those components across visibility and also deprioritize the work it does for hidden components. And if you've been drinking your lead lace protein and want to live on the edge, you can install React's Canary version where you'll get the new view transition component for animating transitions between different UIs. And you'll be able to pass a ref to a fragment, which makes working with platform APIs a little easier. But the most impactful announcements of the conference may have not been related to the React API. The first React compiler finally hit 1.0. If you've been in any React codebase lately, you've...",

"transcript_snippet": "about a year ago I made a tweet that said the dollar sign in spelt is the most powerful abstraction in modern front-end web development usually I'm not wrong about anything ever but this tweet ended up aging like a fine milk because just Weeks Later spelt announced a brand new feature called runes that significantly changed the developer experience by eliminating the dollar sign Syntax for reactive data and then just a few days ago this feature became official with the release of spelt 5 as an avid user of spelt myself I was pretty terrified of this feature at first glance I was one of the few survivors of the angularjs to angular 2 migration I shot myself in the foot during the react hooks Revolution and I lost some good friends during the view options to composition transition and I just can't do this anymore man so maybe I'll just go back to Wordpress uh never mind spelt it is in today's video we'll find out what the hell a rune is and whether or not they're going to ruin spelt it is October 24th 2024 and you're watching the code report most people really liked runes when they were first announced but not everybody I was in denial at first then I got angry then I bargained about the tradeoffs then came depression and finally I've come to accept and really enjoy runes the big question is why would the most L JavaScript framework make a risky departure from the features people love about it like reactive state with let and reactive side effects with the dollar sign just look at how much nicer this code is compared to reactjs react is even copy and spelt with its own compiler to make this code not suck so much the spelt code is lean and concise but one could argue that it's almost too clever let looks exact like regular JavaScript but because spelt uses a compiler it doesn't actually work like regular JavaScript under the hood the compiler does some magic to automatically update the UI whenever this value changes another issue is that this magic only works in a spelt file and that means it's difficult to share reactive logic throughout your application and spelt created an entirely different API called stores to address that issue however runes fix both of these limitations by a making your code more explicit and B they create a universal reactivity system that can be used not only in spel components but also in plain JavaScript or typescript files and this dramatically simplifies the overall framework like once you learn these four runes you'll know about 90% of what you need to know for the framework because everything else works like normal JavaScript and HTML let's go ahead and learn the four major runes now which you can think of as compiler macros that tell spelt to do something special that doesn't behave like regular JavaScript or HTML a...",

"transcript_snippet": "I use clot more than any other AI but even I dismiss Clark as just for developers and I was wrong after using myself I am completely so and this is too powerful to ignore if you want to use AI to build system and do work for you end to end not just chatting and copy pasting so in this video I'll share how to get started with cloud code even if you don't use for coding and most importantly how to use it to build an AI work team and system that you can actually use. Let's go. So why claw code is even needed if claw is already so powerful. So most people use cloud projects with custom instructions to turn claw into AI agents. But they are silo. You end up copy and pasting between them. You are the coordinator. But with cloud code is different. So these cloud agents share the same workspace access to the same context file. They can talk to each other and hands up work automatically each with their own token context window and claude now becomes the team lead. You give the direction they execute together and that is what we are building today. So each of these cloud code agents you create needs at least three core components all defined in one single markdown file. the role and responsibilities, the knowledge like workflow details, reusable clot agent skills, the MCP tools that they have access to. For this demo, we'll be building a five agent work and claude, our main agent will add as our team lead to coordinate between these agent. A bonus tip is when designing your AI teammate, give them specific and non-over overlapping roles to minimize the potential conflicts. Now, to get started with clark code, there are four main ways to access it. First, the local terminal. This is the raw method and will give you the best experience. Luckily, Anthroporic just launched a native installer. So, which makes it really easy to install. I'll put the official link below. And second, ID extension. So, you can add CL code to ID like VS Code or Kursa and let you run the CL code and see the project file structure side by side. Third, the cloud web app where you can click the code tab and run the CL code in the cloud, but it requires you linking to a GitHub repository. and fourth, cloud desktop app which has cloud code built-in and this is what we'll be using today. Now, whatever way you choose, I still highly recommend installing cloud code through the terminal first because the terminal gives you the most complete experience. All commands and features work fully since we're running Clark locally. So, the first thing is to set up a local project folder. So, think of it like a dedicated workspace for Clark. So, let's say I run a marketing agency and I'm setting up the TIM system. So...",

"transcript_snippet": "Hi, my name is Otto and in this video we're going to discuss agent skills. Agents today are pretty intelligent, but they don't always have the domain expertise you need for real work and skills help solve this. You can think of skills as organized folders that package expertise that Cloud can automatically invoke when relevant to the task at hand. And most importantly, these skills are portable across cloud code, the API as well as cla.ai. And the way skills work is at startup only the name and description of every installed skill is loaded in the system prompt. This is going to consume about 30 to 50 tokens per skill and make Claude aware of the skill's existence. Then when a user prompt matches a skills description, Claude is going to dynamically load the full skill.md file into context. And finally, if the skill references other files or scripts, they are also progressively loaded and run as needed. This progressive disclosure allows you to install many different skills to perform complex tasks without bloating your context window. But let's see how skills fit in with the other Claude features. While skills teach Claude how to do specialized tasks, Claude.md files tell Claude about the specific project. Things like your text stack, coding conventions, and repo structure. CloudMD files live alongside your code in the repository. A CloudMD file may say things like we [music] use Nex.js JS and Tailwind. But skills on the other hand are portable expertise that work across any project. So a front-end design skill can teach Claude your typography standards, animation patterns, and layout conventions and [music] activate automatically when building UI components. MCP servers on the other hand provide universal integration, a single protocol that connects Claude to external context sources like GitHub, linear, Postgress, and many many others. MCP connects to data. Skills teach Claude what to do with it. So an MCP server may give Claude access to your database, but a database query skill can teach Claude your team's query optimization patterns. Finally, sub agents are specialized AI assistants with fixed roles. Each sub agent has its own context window, custom prompt, and specific tool permissions. skills provide portable expertise that any agent can use. So your front-end developer sub agent can use a component pattern skill. Your UI reviewer sub agent on the other hand can use a design system skill, but both can load and use the same accessibility standard skill. And the best part is these capabilities are designed to work together. Your cloudMD file sets the foundation. MCP [music] servers connect the data. Sub agents specialize in their roles and skills bring the expertise making every piece smarter and more capable. At the end of the day, skills let you package workflows into reusable capabilities like helping onboard new hires to your team's coding standards, ensuring every PR follows a specific security best practices or sharing your data analysis methodology across your team. And that's how...",

"transcript_snippet": "Over 90% of all MCP servers are complete overhyped garbage. But some of them are not only worth it, they can be complete game changers. And I do not say this lightly. So after testing over 100 of them, here are the only eight MCP servers that I actually use to build apps even faster. But first, let me save you from making the same expensive mistake that I made when I started using MCP servers. Because what no one explains about them is that the more of them you install, the dumber your AI becomes. I know this sounds backwards because everyone thinks more tools equals smarter AI. But here is what's actually happening because every MCP server you add is like giving your AI yet another tool to choose from. Imagine asking someone to fix your bike, but instead of giving them a toolbox with eight essential tools, you just dump 100 tools on the floor. they will spend more time figuring out which tool to use than actually fixing your bike. That is exactly what happens with claude and chatbt too because every MCP server needs instructions in the context window or chat when you start. But new research now shows that this is actually really bad for AI. It's like trying to focus on a specific task while browsing social media. You're just pumping useless information into your brain. And that is kind of what happens too when you use too many MCP servers in your AI. So, if you want your AI to stay focused, remove all distractions. I stripped my list down to these eight MCP servers. And even then, I don't use all of them in every project. I turn them on and off because the fewer tools you give your AI, the more focused it stays. So, now let's look at my full list. Hey, what's up, guys? My name is Rob and I've been a coder for over 20 years. But now, I teach people how to build their ideas with AI in ways that even non-technical people can understand. I do this here on YouTube and inside of my AI coding blueprint, which you can check out in the description down below. Starting with number eight, almost every app that you build will need real world data. This could be stock prices, news articles, YouTube comments, or Instagram profiles. And that is where this MCP server comes in because this turns your AI into a data gathering machine. API is a marketplace for web scrapers, which you can think of as little robots that go all over the internet and grab information from any website that you want. And here is the really crazy part, because this MCP server doesn't just help you pull the data into your app. It actually makes accessing the full documentation of every web scraper available on this platform very easy. It can also help you debug them when things go wrong or check the...",

"transcript_snippet": "woohoo it's new Macbook day my favorite day on short circuit it only comes usually once a year this is the MacBook Pro M4 looks pretty similar to the last one but now it has an M4 instead of an M3 I'm not going to lie I am more of an M3 kind of guy but I can rock an M4 if I have to we've got their usual mag safe 3 to USBC 2 m sleeved nice cable and then a charging brick Oh I ripped it 70 wat USBC charging at least with the 14in I'm not sure what comes with the rest and then the usual Apple propaganda these still come with Apple stickers right do these not come with Apple stickers anymore bro what's the point in even buying them then it's probably good for the planet or something now if you're wondering I am still rocking the same Intel MacBook Pro over here I haven't upgraded yet so this is again another instance of me going hm maybe it's finally time except when I got to set today I realized tragedy struck we bought the wrong MacBook it is still an M4 Pro it's a good form factor we got the 14in here in the sexy space black color profile you can also get it in silver of course but there was a horrible error made and I'm not going to tell you just yet you're going to have to wait a second because first I need to go over the outside of this thing we've got an HDMI 2.1 port a USBC Thunderbolt Port an SD card reer and then on the other side another two USBC Thunderbolt ports 3.5 mil combo audio jack and mag safe there is an upgrade here on the USBC ports they're now Thunderbolt 5 instead of Thunderbolt 4 at least on the pro and Max models uh the base M4 spec only is Thunderbolt 4 and that's good for 120 gbit which is up to 3 times faster than Thunderbolt 4 on the inside bam it's it's pretty much the same keyboard look at that I think it is exactly the same keyboard pretty similar touchpad and then there is the display it looks pretty much the same same resolution same xdr fancy technology it is 1,000 nits Peak brightness when you're Outdoors instead of 600 so that should help with outdoor visibility um there is another change I'm going to tell you about in a bit but the big thing is the new nanotexture option which is an anti-glare coating and as you can tell we don't have it and I saw I Justine's video when it came out look at the difference what the hell you can't even use the one on the right and the one on the left looks beautiful it actually seems to work really well I can't wait to try it myself and honestly I think based on that if you're somebody...",

"transcript_snippet": "so Apple launched the new M4 MacBook Pros this is their 14-in model and it's equipped with the M4 Max their topend configuration and it also has their new Nano texture on their screen it's a texture that's designed to cut down Reflections it's the first time they've actually had it on one of their laptops uh but I want to do a quick video here that kind of goes over the important things I think you should be aware of when it comes to this device and the first thing I want to talk about is performance the CPU gains are quite good year on-ear but it's particularly impressive that the M4 Max can outperform the M2 Ultra in a lot of benchmarks and workflows in terms of Graphics the GPU gains on the M4 Pro are decent but the GPU games on the M4 Max are very impressive most GPU bound apps and games will get a nice bump up from this plus the rate tracing capabilities are better so apps and games can take advantage of that the thing I'm most impressed by though is how good the M4 Max GPU is compared to the previous generation especially at a very similar thermal envelope like if you think about the competitors in this space like AMD Nvidia when they come out with laptop gpus typically the new models come also come with like an increase in power requirement right it's just like you know 5 or 10 watts per year but it adds up over the course of time and on this device if you think about the M1 Max to the M4 Max the GPU has improved so much with very little increase in power consumption The Thermals on this device are pretty much the same as last year's models in terms of memory the base configuration start at 16 GB now thankfully and they've also increased the memory bandwidth it's noticeable already on the base models but the pro and Max chips get a significant boost in memory speed so for applications that lean on Fast memory you definitely notice a bump up this year if I'm being honest though it's difficult for me to tell how much of the gains that we're seeing this year come from the memory speed increase versus the CPU or the GPU increase like they're all tied together and I don't have the tools to lock memory speed on a Macbook so it's tough to tell I will say though that if you have an older M1 or M2 or M3 MacBook Pro I wouldn't upgrade because Apple's silicon performance progresses so fast year on-ear that it can pay off to just wait as long as you can before you buy new hardware okay let's talk about the screens so this particular device is running their new Nano texture finish and it's finish we've seen on other devices before right like their screens uh the new iPads and every...",

"transcript_snippet": "Last week, I got to participate in my favorite activity of the year. No, it wasn't watching all the overleveraged crypto bros learn what a margin call is. It was hate watching React comp as an anti-react influencer. Every year I crawl into my spelt Snuggy and I watch the React team try to convince everyone that their new APIs fix all of their old APIs. And though it hurts me to say it, this year I think they may have actually done it. I know this is an AI channel now, but in today's video, we'll revisit the worst parts of React to see if the announcements they made at React Comp will actually make a difference. It is October 17th, 2025, and you're watching the code report. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was making referential stability a prerequisite to writing React apps that don't blow up. Just last month, Cloudflare had a massive outage because their dashboard kept making unnecessary calls to one of their own APIs, which led to them basically themselves. If you're a React dev, you know this is the primary use case for React's use effect hook. And it's exactly what caused this embarrassing bug for Cloudflare. But it's hard to blame React for this. The whole situation could have been avoided if only the poor debit Cloudflare would have read the docs on use effect. Then this post which shows you when to use it. Then this post which shows you when to not use it. Then this post which shows you what it actually does. Then this post which shows you how to use it correctly. And now with React 19.2. this post which shows you how to work around it with React's new use effect event hook. The way it works is it creates a function that you can use inside of use effect without needing to declare it in the dependency array. This is nice for situations like this where you need to use a value inside of use effect but don't want the effect to rerun when it changes. And the other big API addition was the new activity component which you can think of like a smarter display none that React itself controls. It lets you show and hide certain components, but unlike display none, React is able to maintain the state of those components across visibility and also deprioritize the work it does for hidden components. And if you've been drinking your lead lace protein and want to live on the edge, you can install React's Canary version where you'll get the new view transition component for animating transitions between different UIs. And you'll be able to pass a ref to a fragment, which makes working with platform APIs a little easier. But the most impactful announcements of the conference may have not been related to the React API. The first React compiler finally hit 1.0. If you've been in any React codebase lately, you've...",

"transcript_snippet": "any reasonable developer in today's world would learn react because it's the status quo and that's where the jobs are but life is a lot more fun when you become unreasonable and go against the status quo to push web development forward for future Generations in today's video we'll compare react and spelled side by side by looking at common patterns and design choices by the framework creators I'm not here to tell you that one is better than the other because that's what the comment section below this video is for the only way to truly find out which one is best is to build something with both of them and decide for yourself I just released a brand new full spell kick course yesterday and also have a full next js13 course for fireship pro members going through each one of these courses will give you a really good idea of which framework is best for you first up we need to talk about rendering both of these Frameworks do the same thing they help developers build reactive uis with JavaScript by organizing code into reusable components an end user would never be able to tell the difference between the two but when it comes to the developer experience there is a world of difference react.js uses a runtime called the virtual Dom it keeps track of data changes in the application in order to render them in the act actual Dom in the browser the drawback is that this runtime requires some initial JavaScript and in Frameworks like nextjs your Baseline is around 70 kilobytes just to render a hello world as felt on the other hand takes an entirely different approach using a compiler to eliminate the need for a runtime it takes your svelt code and converts it into vanilla JavaScript which results in a far smaller hello world using a compiler though is kind of like cheating react.js is just JavaScript whereas spill can take non-javascript code to allow developers to do things more efficiently than they could otherwise but some JavaScript fundamentalists might consider this black magic what's ironic though is that vanilla JavaScript libraries tend to be much easier to work with in spell when compared to react however react does have a massive ecosystem of dedicated libraries to help you get things done now let's look at an actual code example of component State here we have a basic counter app in react we use functions to create components and then add reactive state to them with the use State hook that returns a reactive value and a Setter function to update the state pretty simple but let's see how it compares to svelt here on the right side in spelled you have only one component file and Define the logic within the script tags to create reactive State all you do is create a variable with the let keyword from there we can define a function on the click event...",

"transcript_snippet": "about a year ago I made a tweet that said the dollar sign in spelt is the most powerful abstraction in modern front-end web development usually I'm not wrong about anything ever but this tweet ended up aging like a fine milk because just Weeks Later spelt announced a brand new feature called runes that significantly changed the developer experience by eliminating the dollar sign Syntax for reactive data and then just a few days ago this feature became official with the release of spelt 5 as an avid user of spelt myself I was pretty terrified of this feature at first glance I was one of the few survivors of the angularjs to angular 2 migration I shot myself in the foot during the react hooks Revolution and I lost some good friends during the view options to composition transition and I just can't do this anymore man so maybe I'll just go back to Wordpress uh never mind spelt it is in today's video we'll find out what the hell a rune is and whether or not they're going to ruin spelt it is October 24th 2024 and you're watching the code report most people really liked runes when they were first announced but not everybody I was in denial at first then I got angry then I bargained about the tradeoffs then came depression and finally I've come to accept and really enjoy runes the big question is why would the most L JavaScript framework make a risky departure from the features people love about it like reactive state with let and reactive side effects with the dollar sign just look at how much nicer this code is compared to reactjs react is even copy and spelt with its own compiler to make this code not suck so much the spelt code is lean and concise but one could argue that it's almost too clever let looks exact like regular JavaScript but because spelt uses a compiler it doesn't actually work like regular JavaScript under the hood the compiler does some magic to automatically update the UI whenever this value changes another issue is that this magic only works in a spelt file and that means it's difficult to share reactive logic throughout your application and spelt created an entirely different API called stores to address that issue however runes fix both of these limitations by a making your code more explicit and B they create a universal reactivity system that can be used not only in spel components but also in plain JavaScript or typescript files and this dramatically simplifies the overall framework like once you learn these four runes you'll know about 90% of what you need to know for the framework because everything else works like normal JavaScript and HTML let's go ahead and learn the four major runes now which you can think of as compiler macros that tell spelt to do something special that doesn't behave like regular JavaScript or HTML a...",

# Synthesis Instructions (Base version - no Hacker News)
## Judge Agent: Synthesize All Sources
After all searches complete, internally synthesize (don't display stats yet):
1. Weight Reddit/X sources HIGHER (they have engagement signals: upvotes, likes)
2. Weight YouTube sources HIGH (they have views, likes, and transcript content)
3. Weight WebSearch sources LOWER (no engagement data)
4. Identify patterns that appear across ALL sources (strongest signals)
5. Note any contradictions between sources
6. Extract the top 3-5 actionable insights
## Internalize the Research
CRITICAL: Ground your synthesis in the ACTUAL research content, not your pre-existing knowledge.
Read the research output carefully. Pay attention to:
- Exact product/tool names mentioned
- Specific quotes and insights from the sources - use THESE, not generic knowledge
- What the sources actually say, not what you assume the topic is about
## Citation Rules
CITATION RULE: Cite sources sparingly to prove research is real.
- In the "What I learned" intro: cite 1-2 top sources total, not every sentence
- In KEY PATTERNS: cite 1 source per pattern, short format: "per @handle" or "per r/sub"
- Do NOT include engagement metrics in citations - save those for stats box
- Do NOT chain multiple citations: "per @x, @y, @z" is too much. Pick the strongest one.
CITATION PRIORITY (most to least preferred):
1. @handles from X - "per @handle"
2. r/subreddits from Reddit - "per r/subreddit"
3. YouTube channels - "per [channel name] on YouTube"
4. Web sources - ONLY when Reddit/X/YouTube don't cover that specific fact
URL FORMATTING: NEVER paste raw URLs. Use the publication name, not the URL.
Lead with people, not publications. Start each topic with what Reddit/X users are saying/feeling, then add web context only if needed.
## Output Format

# GOAT Synthesis Comparison: Final Results
## Overall Winner: CROSS (4.74/5.0)
| Pipeline | Topic 1 | Topic 2 | Topic 3 | Topic 4 | Topic 5 | **Average** |
|----------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|------------|
| | Claude Code | Seedance | MacBook | Rap Songs | React/Svelte | |
| **CROSS** | **4.90** | **4.90** | **4.20** | **4.80** | **4.90** | **4.74** |
| **HN** | 4.05 | 4.55 | 3.85 | 4.25 | 3.80 | **4.10** |
| **Base** | 3.80 | 3.70 | 3.70 | 3.65 | 3.80 | **3.73** |
CROSS won all 5 topics. No regressions.
## Per-Dimension Analysis
### Groundedness (30% weight)
| Pipeline | Avg | Pattern |
|----------|-----|---------|
| CROSS | 4.8 | Cross-platform connections ("Reddit's MCP scaling + HN's Upjack project") add unique grounding |
| HN | 4.2 | HN usernames and Show HN project names add specificity when available |
| Base | 3.8 | Solid citations but narrower source pool limits grounding depth |
### Specificity (25% weight)
| Pipeline | Avg | Pattern |
|----------|-----|---------|
| CROSS | 4.8 | More Reddit threads = more named entities, version numbers, specific findings |
| HN | 4.1 | HN projects add specificity for tech topics but nothing for non-tech |
| Base | 3.6 | Fewer data points = more padding between specific findings |
### Coverage (20% weight)
| Pipeline | Avg | Pattern |
|----------|-----|---------|
| CROSS | 4.9 | Best coverage - most Reddit threads AND HN items naturally woven in |
| HN | 3.9 | Good when HN fires (Topics 1-2), matches Base when HN=0 (Topics 3-5) |
| Base | 3.5 | Reddit + X + YouTube only, no HN dimension |
### Actionability (15% weight)
| Pipeline | Avg | Pattern |
|----------|-----|---------|
| CROSS | 4.7 | Follow-up suggestions reference specific things from the richer data |
| HN | 4.0 | Decent suggestions but less material to draw from |
| Base | 3.6 | Generic suggestions due to thinner research base |
### Format Compliance (10% weight)
| Pipeline | Avg | Pattern |
|----------|-----|---------|
| CROSS | 4.6 | Stats blocks most complete (cross-ref counts), invitations most specific |
| HN | 4.0 | Good format, HN line present when applicable |
| Base | 3.8 | Clean format but missing HN source line |
## Why CROSS Wins
1. **Coverage is the biggest differentiator.** CROSS consistently pulled the most Reddit threads (10, 19, 3, 11, 6 across topics) AND had HN data, giving the synthesis more material to work with.
2. **Cross-platform connections add analytical value.** Linking MCP scaling problems on Reddit to infrastructure projects on HN (Topic 1), connecting API delays to Hollywood backlash to ElevenLabs removal (Topic 2), and surfacing the Kendrick Grammy win from r/KendrickLamar (Topic 4) - these were insights that neither Base nor HN produced alone.
3. **Actionability follows from data richness.** With more specific findings to draw from, CROSS's follow-up suggestions are naturally more specific and grounded.
## Where CROSS Still Falls Short (Improvement Opportunities)
### 1. Cross-source linking barely fires (3/178 items linked)
The CROSS version's cross_refs field was populated for only 3 items across all 5 topics. The Jaccard 0.5 threshold is too strict. With the hybrid fix (token+trigram at 0.40), this would go from 3 to 26 items.
### 2. Cross-ref rendering is cryptic
When cross-refs DO appear, they show as `[xref: HN5, HN4]` in the compact output. This means nothing to the synthesis agent. Should be `[also on: HN, Reddit]` so Claude naturally writes "discussed on both Reddit and HN."
### 3. YouTube synonym gap
"Lit Hip Hop Mix 2026" scored 0.33 relevance for "best rap songs 2026" because "hip hop" != "rap" in token matching. Needs synonym awareness.
### 4. HN search too narrow for framework topics
React/Svelte returned 0 HN items despite being a common HN topic. Need OR queries for multi-keyword topics.
### 5. Synthesis instructions don't mention cross-refs
SKILL.md has zero instructions about using cross-ref data in the synthesis. Claude ignores the `[xref:]` tags because nothing tells it to pay attention to them.
## Recommended GOAT Improvements (Priority Order)
| # | Change | Impact | File |
|---|--------|--------|------|
| 1 | Hybrid cross-source linking (token+trigram Jaccard at 0.40) | 3 -> 26 linked items | `scripts/lib/dedupe.py` |
| 2 | Human-readable cross-ref tags (`[also on: HN, Reddit]`) | Claude can use cross-refs in narrative | `scripts/lib/render.py` |
| 3 | SKILL.md cross-ref synthesis instruction | Explicitly tell Claude to use cross-platform signals | `SKILL.md` |
| 4 | YouTube synonym awareness (SYNONYMS dict) | "hip hop" matches "rap" | `scripts/lib/youtube_yt.py` |
| 5 | HN search OR queries for multi-keyword topics | Framework debates get HN coverage | `scripts/lib/hackernews.py` |
## Validation: Improved CROSS vs Original CROSS
After implementing all 5 GOAT improvements (hybrid cross-source linking, human-readable tags, SKILL.md instruction, YouTube synonyms), we regenerated synthesis narratives from improved compact markdowns and evaluated them against the originals.
### Improved CROSS Results
| Topic | Original CROSS | Improved CROSS | Delta |
|-------|:-:|:-:|:-:|
| 1. Claude Code | 4.15 | **4.55** | +0.40 |
| 2. Seedance | **4.60** | 4.40 | -0.20 |
| 3. MacBook | 3.90 | **4.35** | +0.45 |
| 4. Rap Songs | 3.15 | **4.25** | +1.10 |
| 5. React/Svelte | 4.10 | **4.35** | +0.25 |
| **Average** | **3.98** | **4.38** | **+0.40** |
Improved CROSS wins 4/5 topics. The one regression (Seedance, -0.20) is because the original had denser HN citation detail (explicit `[xref: HN5/R6]` notation) that the improved version traded for cleaner formatting.
### Per-Dimension Deltas (Improved - Original)
| Dimension | Original Avg | Improved Avg | Delta |
|-----------|:-:|:-:|:-:|
| Groundedness (30%) | 4.0 | 4.0 | 0.0 |
| Specificity (25%) | 4.2 | 5.0 | **+0.8** |
| Coverage (20%) | 4.2 | 4.4 | +0.2 |
| Actionability (15%) | 3.4 | 3.8 | +0.4 |
| Format (10%) | 3.8 | 4.8 | **+1.0** |
**Biggest gains:** Specificity (+0.8) from more direct quotes, precise numbers, and structured recommendation lists. Format compliance (+1.0) from consistently including KEY PATTERNS, standard stats blocks, and cross-platform indicators.
### What the improvements actually did
1. **`[also on: HN, Reddit]` tags** - Claude naturally weaves cross-platform findings into narrative ("a marketing skills tutorial hit 47K YouTube views AND landed on Hacker News simultaneously")
2. **YouTube synonyms** - "Lit Hip Hop Mix 2026" now scores 0.71 (was 0.33) for "best rap songs 2026", surfacing relevant content that was previously filtered out
3. **Hybrid similarity at 0.40** - Cross-source linking went from 3 linked items (original) to 13+ (improved) across 5 topics
4. **SKILL.md instruction #7** - "Cross-platform signals are the strongest evidence" directs Claude to lead with multi-platform findings
### Cross-source linking validation
| Topic | Original links | Improved links |
|-------|:-:|:-:|
| Claude Code | 0 | 2 items, 2 [also on:] tags |
| Seedance | 3 | 9 items, 7 [also on:] tags |
| MacBook | 0 | 2 items, 1 [also on:] tag |
| Rap Songs | 0 | 0 (expected - no overlap) |
| React/Svelte | 0 | 0 (expected - no overlap) |
| **Total** | **3** | **13** |
## Methodology
- 15 JSON result files from same-day topic-sequential test runs (5 topics x 3 versions)
- JSON converted to compact markdown using `render_compact()` (version-specific data preserved)
- 15 synthesis narratives generated by Claude following version-specific SKILL.md instructions
- Blinded LLM evaluation: versions randomized per topic as A/B/C, scored on 5-dimension rubric
- Rubric weights: 30% groundedness, 25% specificity, 20% coverage, 15% actionability, 10% format
- Validation: 5 improved compact markdowns regenerated with updated code, 5 new synthesis narratives generated and evaluated against originals

What I learned:
The Claude Code skills ecosystem is in a rapid expansion phase, with community-built skill libraries and frameworks emerging as the dominant trend across Reddit and X this month. @ihtesham2005 flagged that Anthropic open-sourced their internal Skills library, and r/ClaudeCode is seeing a wave of builders shipping reusable skill packs.
**Skills adoption is accelerating at the team level** - One team reported 3x-ing their Claude Code skill usage in two weeks by syncing skills, hooks, and MCP configs across their org, per r/ClaudeCode. The key was making skills discoverable and easy to install rather than relying on individual setup.
**One-command frameworks are consolidating the ecosystem** - ClaudeInOne bundles 135 agents, 35 curated skills, 121 plugins, and 6 MCP configs into a single install, per @arpan7sarkar. This "batteries included" approach is gaining traction as the skill count grows faster than people can evaluate individually.
**Self-improvement loops are the power-user pattern** - A "wrap-up" skill that captures session learnings and feeds them back into future sessions was highlighted as a favorite Claude Code skill on r/ClaudeCode. The idea of skills that improve themselves over time resonated heavily.
**Non-developers are building with skills** - Grace Leung's YouTube tutorial on building an AI marketing team with skills in 16 minutes pulled 47K views in 4 days. The framing has shifted from "developer tool" to "anyone who can describe a workflow."
**MCP servers remain the infrastructure layer** - Robin Ebers' "8 MCP Servers That Make Claude Code 10x Better" (90K views) argues most MCP servers are "overhyped garbage" but a handful are genuine game changers. The consensus is that skills handle workflow logic while MCP servers handle tool integrations.
KEY PATTERNS from the research:
1. Skills are moving from individual to team-shared - syncing across orgs is the unlock, per r/ClaudeCode
2. Skill marketplaces and directories are emerging as discovery mechanisms, per @ghumare64
3. Marketing and SEO are the fastest-growing non-dev skill categories, per r/ClaudeCode
4. Skills vs MCP confusion persists - Postman and Solo Swift Crafter both made explainer videos clarifying the distinction
5. Builder skills that generate other skills are the meta-pattern, per @matgoldsborough

## What I learned
ByteDance's **Seedance 2.0** has erupted across AI video communities this month, with r/generativeAI and @HBCoop_ capturing the intensity - a mix of awe at its cinematic output and frustration over access chaos.
**CapCut integration goes live.** As of Feb 25, Seedance 2.0 is available inside CapCut desktop and mobile, removing the need for a Chinese phone number. @jznode reports it runs about $2 per generation, making it the first broadly accessible path to the model outside China.
**One-minute films with zero editing.** A viral r/generativeAI thread describes Seedance 2.0 generating a full one-minute film with multi-shot coherence and transitions - no post-production required. Commenters are split between calling it a filmmaking revolution and noting it still produces "slop" on closer inspection.
**Access remains a mess.** Multiple threads across r/Seedance_AI and r/generativeAI ask the same question: where is the official website? The answer is complicated - Jimeng/Jianying is the primary platform but has geo-restrictions, account bans, and network errors. Third-party APIs (useapi.net) and integrations (NemoVideo) have popped up, but r/Seedance_AI users warn many are scams.
**Hollywood backlash and SAG-AFTRA fallout.** r/AIGuild reports ByteDance faces backlash from Hollywood over IP concerns. Separately, r/AI_UGC_Marketing notes that ElevenLabs silently removed Seedance 2.0 from its platform after a SAG-AFTRA incident, cutting off a key UGC video workflow.
**Content guardrails frustrate power users.** A r/Seedance_AI user reports wasting $1,000+ on generations that fail content review. The strict moderation filters are pushing creators toward third-party APIs that may bypass restrictions but offer uncertain quality.
**YouTube creators crown it king.** Theoretically Media's review (199K views) declares Seedance 2.0 has claimed the "AI video throne" just a week after Kling 3.0 held that title. Multiple tutorial channels (How To In 5 Minutes, Ai Lockup) are racing to publish free-access guides.
**Phishing scams exploit the hype.** @WyldeChyldeRec warns about phishing emails using Seedance branding with fake "unrestricted generation" offers - a sign of how much demand has outpaced official supply.
### KEY PATTERNS
1. **Access demand far exceeds official supply** - the gap between Seedance 2.0's capabilities and its availability outside China has created a cottage industry of third-party wrappers, scam sites, and workarounds (r/generativeAI)
2. **Platform musical chairs** - Seedance 2.0 gets added to CapCut, removed from ElevenLabs, and claimed by NemoVideo all within weeks, making the ecosystem unstable for anyone building workflows (@grok)
3. **Quality vs. guardrails tension** - the same content moderation that addresses Hollywood/SAG-AFTRA concerns is the thing driving power users to abandon official channels (r/Seedance_AI)
4. **AI video benchmarks reset weekly** - Theoretically Media declared Kling 3.0 the benchmark, then Seedance 2.0 dethroned it within a week, reflecting how fast this space moves (Theoretically Media)
5. **Scam ecosystem mirrors real demand** - phishing emails and fake sites emerge within days of each capability announcement, indicating mainstream interest beyond the AI-native audience (@WyldeChyldeRec)

# What I learned
The M4 MacBook Pro has been out long enough that the conversation has shifted from launch hype to real-world ownership reports - and the picture is more nuanced than the initial review wave suggested. Across r/macbookpro, YouTube reviewers like MKBH and Dave2D, and X chatter from @bhphoto and @jameslmorton, a clear pattern emerges: the M4 lineup is genuinely excellent hardware, but choosing the right configuration matters more than just picking "the best one."
**The base M4 is the real story.** MacRumors made the bold claim that the base M4 MacBook Pro is all most people need, recommending users skip the M4 Pro and Max entirely. This echoes Just Josh's review and recommendations video, which walked through specific use cases where the base chip handles the workload just fine. For general dev work, photography, and everyday professional use, the consensus is that the jump to Pro/Max is wasted money unless you have a specific sustained workload that demands it.
**Battery life claims don't hold up for everyone.** One of the most active discussion threads on r/macbookpro directly compares "battery life reality vs review" numbers, with users reporting real-world results that fall short of Apple's headline claims. The 14-inch model's battery in particular drew scrutiny, with another thread asking "should I be concerned?" after seeing lower-than-expected drain rates. Reviewers tested under controlled conditions; actual usage with Electron apps, browsers, and background processes tells a different story.
**Long-term reviews are more honest than launch reviews.** Brandon Butch's 3-month review is titled "This Feels Wrong" - pointing to the cognitive dissonance of a machine that benchmarks well but doesn't feel dramatically different from the M3 in daily use. Created Tech's 6-month follow-up and Tech It Easy's 1-year review both confirm this: the M4 Pro is a solid incremental upgrade, not a generational leap. Meanwhile, at least one r/macbookpro user posted about being genuinely "disappointed" with heat and app stability issues, per r/macbookpro.
**Local AI workloads are the new benchmark.** A notable shift in the X conversation: multiple posts (including from @grok and @jameslmorton) discuss running LLMs locally on M4 Pro/Max hardware. The 128GB unified memory config can push 70 tokens/s on local models, per @jameslmorton, and Ollama runs natively via Metal. This is becoming a real purchase consideration for developers and AI enthusiasts - something no traditional review covers well.
**M3 vs M4 upgrade: marginal for most.** @bhphoto's comparison guide between M3 and M4 silicon suggests the differences are real but not dramatic for most workflows. Unless you specifically need the Nano texture display, Thunderbolt 5, or the extra GPU cores, holding an M3 Pro is still a strong position.

# What I learned
The conversation around "best rap songs 2026" is still early-year and fragmented - no single track has emerged as a consensus pick yet, but a few names keep surfacing. Lil Uzi Vert's "What You Saying" is the closest thing to a frontrunner, cited across multiple @grok posts on X and referenced in r/hiphopheads discussion threads as hitting #1 on Hot Rap Songs in January 2026 and peaking at #14 on the Hot 100.
**Most-mentioned artists and tracks across sources:**
- **Lil Uzi Vert - "What You Saying"** - mentioned in 3 X posts (@grok) and discussed in r/hiphopheads daily threads. The standout chart performer so far in 2026, with his third career #1 on Hot Rap Songs.
- **Nuno Zigi - "World Best Lie"** - highlighted by @Zika_gfx as a meaningful 2026 rap track (highest-scored X post at 86).
- **Tyga, Quavo, Wiz Khalifa, 50 Cent** - featured in West Coast Finest's "Lit Hip Hop Mix 2026" on YouTube (407K views), the most-watched video in these results.
- **Sean Bryant - "Love vs Loyalty" (album)** - teased by @teammusic2046 as a forthcoming 2026 project.
The Grammy conversation is also shaping early "best of" discourse. r/hiphopheads discussed 2026 Pre-Show Grammy winners across rap categories, and the r/edranked community is running an active "Reddit Ranked: Hip Hop '26" submission thread where users are nominating their top picks.
On YouTube, DJ Noize's February 2026 mixtapes (Trap Tape #127 and Hot Right Now #153) are functioning as curated discovery playlists for new rap, collectively pulling ~55K views. The West Coast Finest mix leans toward established names, while DJ Noize's mixes skew toward whatever is freshest.
One notable gap: there is very little discussion of specific 2026 albums yet. The Pitchfork "32 Best Rap Albums of 2025" thread on r/hiphopheads is still driving more engagement than any 2026 album discussion, suggesting listeners are still digesting last year's releases.

## What I learned:
The React vs Svelte debate in 2026 is no longer theoretical - developers are making real migration decisions, and the community is split between pragmatism and aspiration. A startup migration story on r/webdev documented concrete performance gains after moving from React to Svelte 5, while Fireship's viral video framed React as actively trying to "win back" developers it's been losing.
**The "Late-Stage React" Narrative** - A growing faction of frontend developers describe React in 2026 as mature but bloated. @cityjsconf promoted a talk introducing Ripple, a new framework explicitly built from "the good parts of React, Svelte, and Solid" - positioning React as something to cherry-pick from rather than adopt wholesale. Meanwhile @Chubbi_Stephen captured the circular framework discourse perfectly: everyone argues about alternatives, but React still powers 80% of production apps.
**Svelte 5 Runes Changed the Calculus** - The introduction of runes in Svelte 5 was supposed to simplify reactivity, but Fireship's analysis on YouTube questioned whether runes actually "ruined" what made Svelte special - its magical dollar-sign syntax. The r/react community thread comparing hooks vs runes shows developers weighing whether Svelte 5's new mental model is actually simpler than React's hooks, or just differently complex.
**Ecosystem Lock-In Remains React's Moat** - Across Reddit and X, the pragmatic argument keeps winning. @nicobaogim argued that picking React in 2026 "only really makes sense if you value ecosystem maturity" or need React-specific libraries - essentially conceding React isn't technically superior but remains the safe choice. Svelte converts on r/sveltejs acknowledged reduced dev time but warned about the thinner ecosystem.
**AI May Make Frameworks Irrelevant** - @dennydotio offered a provocative prediction: 2026 marks the death of JS frameworks entirely, arguing that frameworks "only exist because humans need organized code to stay sane" - once AI handles the code, the abstraction layer becomes unnecessary.
**KEY PATTERNS:**
1. **Migration stories favor Svelte on DX, but caveats persist** - real teams report faster development but smaller library ecosystem, per r/webdev
2. **React's dominance is increasingly described as inertia, not preference** - developers choose it for jobs and existing teams, not technical merit, per @nicobaogim
3. **Svelte 5 runes divided the Svelte community itself** - the shift from implicit to explicit reactivity alienated some early adopters, per Fireship on YouTube
4. **New frameworks are synthesizing both** - Ripple and similar projects treat React and Svelte as ingredient frameworks, per @cityjsconf
5. **TypeScript-first tooling is the real 2026 baseline** - @FabianHiller's post about type-safe forms got the most engagement, suggesting developers care more about DX tooling than framework wars

**What I learned:** The Claude Code skills ecosystem has exploded into a full-blown marketplace war in the last 30 days, with creators racing to package domain expertise into reusable skills while MCP server fatigue is setting in hard. The clearest signal: a marketing skills tutorial hit 47K YouTube views AND landed on Hacker News simultaneously, per Grace Leung and r/ClaudeCode.
**Skills are the new plugins.** The sheer volume of "skill collections" tells the story: ClaudeInOne ships 213 skills in one install, another toolkit bundles 135 agents with 35 curated skills, and Anthropic themselves open-sourced their internal skills library. This is the WordPress plugin moment for AI coding - everyone is packaging their expertise into portable skill files. The Chrome extension for browsing skills on GitHub and early marketplace projects like ClawsMarket confirm that discovery and distribution are the next bottleneck, per @ihtesham2005.
**MCP server disillusionment is real.** One of the highest-scoring Reddit threads warns that Claude Code "works great until too many MCP servers" break it, and the most-watched MCP video (90K views) concludes that 90% of MCP servers are "overhyped garbage." The community is shifting from "connect everything" to "connect only what matters" - semantic graph servers that compress 15K tokens down to 3K relevant context represent the new direction, per Robin Ebers.
**Skills beat raw prompting for team adoption.** A team reported 3x-ing their skill usage in two weeks through deliberate onboarding, and the self-improvement loop skill (where Claude Code iterates on its own skills) emerged as a community favorite. The pattern is clear: skills are sticky because they encode workflow knowledge, not just instructions. Meanwhile, a highly upvoted explainer on the difference between Skills, Subagents, Claude.MD, and slash commands confirms many users are still confused about what goes where, per r/ClaudeCode.
**Marketing and SEO are the breakout skill verticals.** Grace Leung's videos on AI marketing teams have a combined 200K+ views. A 55K-word email marketing knowledge base packaged as a Claude Code skill was the top HN story. Twelve open-source SEO skills dropped on Reddit. The non-developer use case is outpacing the developer tooling use case in raw engagement, per Grace Leung.
**Security is the unresolved tension.** MCP proxy servers for safe email access, capability-based sandboxing in Rust (SkillSandbox), and security-first agent frameworks (Gulama) all appeared this month. The community wants skills and MCP servers to do more - but giving AI agents access to email, Kubernetes clusters, and production databases raises obvious questions that nobody has fully answered yet, per r/ClaudeAI.

**KEY PATTERNS**
1. Skill packaging and distribution are the current gold rush - marketplaces, directories, and browser extensions are all emerging simultaneously
2. MCP server quality filtering has begun - the community is rejecting bloat in favor of targeted, high-signal servers
3. Non-developer skill verticals (marketing, SEO, CRM) are generating the highest engagement by a wide margin
4. Team-level skill adoption requires deliberate onboarding, not just sharing files
5. Security and sandboxing for agent skills remain unsolved but increasingly urgent

What I learned:
The Claude Code skills and MCP ecosystem is experiencing simultaneous growth at every layer - from individual skill authoring to team-level adoption to infrastructure tooling. The signal is dense: r/ClaudeCode has 10 active threads this month on skills and MCP, Hacker News has 15 Show HN projects building on this stack, and @ihtesham2005's post about Anthropic open-sourcing their internal Skills library catalyzed a wave of community activity.
**MCP server scaling is hitting real limits** - "Claude Code works great... until you have too many MCP servers" (r/ClaudeCode) is the thread of the month. Teams are running into architecture problems, with gateway patterns emerging as the solution. This connects directly to Upjack (hn/barefootsanders), a declarative framework for building apps over MCP.
**Token efficiency is driving MCP server design** - A semantic graph MCP server cut context from 15K to 3K tokens (r/ClaudeCode), while 25 MCP servers that return structured data instead of terminal formatting emerged on r/ClaudeAI. The efficiency concern also shows up in SkillSandbox (hn/ClaytheMachine), which uses capability-based sandboxing to limit what skills can access.
**Security is the emerging battleground** - An MCP proxy server for safe email access (r/ClaudeAI) addresses the trust problem, while Gulama (hn/san-techie21) pitches itself as a security-first agent. The Reddit and HN projects converge on the same insight: as skills get more capable, the security surface grows.
**Skills are becoming team infrastructure, not personal tools** - The "We 3x'd our team's Claude Code skill usage" thread (r/ClaudeCode) and ClaudeInOne framework (213 skills bundled, r/ClaudeCode score 78) both show skills moving from individual to organizational. A Chrome extension for viewing skills on GitHub (r/ClaudeCode) and @ghumare64's skill sync tooling reinforce that discovery and distribution matter more than authoring now.
**Domain-specific skills are the high-value pattern** - The 55K-word email marketing knowledge base (hn/cosmoblk, 10pts), 12 SEO skills (r/ClaudeCode), and the self-improvement loop skill (r/ClaudeCode) all share a pattern: deep domain knowledge embedded in SKILL.md files. Grace Leung's YouTube tutorial on building an AI marketing team with skills pulled 47K views - non-developers are the growth audience.
KEY PATTERNS from the research:
1. MCP scaling problems are driving architectural innovation - gateways, structured data, and semantic graphs all emerged independently this month, per r/ClaudeCode
2. Reddit discusses adoption and workflows while HN builds infrastructure (sandboxes, frameworks, marketplaces) - the ecosystem is specializing across platforms, per hn/ClaytheMachine
3. Security concerns are growing in proportion to capability - email proxies, sandboxes, and "security-first" agents all appeared in February, per r/ClaudeAI
4. Skill discovery is the unsolved bottleneck - Chrome extensions, directories (hn/micronink), and marketplaces (hn/digitcatphd) are all independent attempts to fix it
5. Cross-platform skill portability matters - @zeeg notes Codex handles implicit skill invocation better than Claude Code, suggesting the skill format may outlive any single runtime

## What I learned
Seedance 2.0 from ByteDance has erupted onto the AI video scene in the last 30 days, with near-universal consensus across platforms that it represents a new quality benchmark - but its rollout has been messy, controversial, and riddled with scams. The model launched inside CapCut (desktop and mobile) rather than as a standalone product, which simultaneously solved the access problem and created confusion about what is "official" versus phishing (per @WyldeChyldeRec and r/Seedance_AI). Theoretically Media's 199K-view breakdown declared it the new throne-holder barely a week after Kling 3.0 launched, and that verdict echoed across YouTube, HN, and Reddit threads alike.
**CapCut is the gateway, for better or worse.** ByteDance embedded Seedance 2.0 inside its CapCut editing app rather than shipping a standalone site or open API. This means worldwide access without a Chinese phone number (per @jznode), but it also means you are locked into ByteDance's ecosystem at roughly $2 per generation. Reddit threads show users hunting for "the real Seedance website" and falling for phishing scams because there is no obvious official destination.
**Quality is real, but production-readiness is not.** Cross-platform signals are strong here: YouTube creators with a combined 500K+ views praise the cinematic output, HN's top story calls it "best video model of 2026, outperforming Sora 2," and a Reddit user made a "1-minute film with ZERO editing." But the counterpoints are just as consistent - one Redditor burned $1K+ on failed generations, another called the workflow "impressive but still not a production workflow," and @TferThomas on X dismissed results as "still slop." The gap between cherry-picked demos and reliable batch output remains wide.
**Censorship and copyright battles are already shaping the product.** The API launch was delayed over deepfake and copyright concerns (per r/generativeAI). ElevenLabs quietly removed Seedance 2.0 integration after a SAG-AFTRA incident. ByteDance faces Hollywood backlash. And users complain that content filtering "ruined" the tool's creative potential. This regulatory and industry pressure is moving faster than the technology itself.
**Multi-shot consistency is the frontier problem.** HN discussion highlights that "most AI tools generate isolated clips that fall apart in actual narrative." Seedance 2.0's reference-image approach helps with character consistency across shots (per a detailed Reddit testing thread), and several HN stories focus on "solving the jump-cut problem," but nobody claims it is solved. The one-minute-film demo impressed precisely because it sidestepped editing entirely rather than proving the tool works within a real editing pipeline.
**The wrapper app gold rush is already underway.** HN saw 8+ "Show HN" posts for Seedance 2.0 wrapper tools and access proxies in a single month, most with zero comments and minimal traction. SeeVideo offers subscription-free access. This pattern mirrors early Stable Diffusion and GPT wrapper cycles - lots of surface-level tooling, very little durable differentiation.
### KEY PATTERNS
1. **Regulatory pressure is the real bottleneck, not technology** - the API delay, ElevenLabs removal, and Hollywood backlash form a connected pattern where legal/ethical concerns are throttling access faster than ByteDance can ship (r/Seedance_AI + r/AIGuild)
2. **Access fragmentation creates parallel economies** - CapCut for consumers, Atlas Cloud for enterprise, Jimeng for China, third-party wrappers for everyone else, scam sites for the desperate - all serving the same model through different channels with different reliability
3. **Consumer excitement vastly outpaces developer adoption** - 199K YouTube views vs. 1-point HN Show HN posts; the audience is creators and filmmakers, not engineers building on APIs (Theoretically Media vs. HN)
4. **Multi-shot coherence is the moat** - character/scene consistency across shots is what separates Seedance 2.0 from competitors and what makes the "zero editing film" possible (hn/RyanMu)
5. **Quality-guardrail tension will define who wins AI video** - ByteDance's strict content moderation costs power users real money while its absence would invite the regulatory response that already delayed the API launch (r/Seedance_AI + r/HiggsfieldAI)

## What I learned
ByteDance's **Seedance 2.0** has been the most discussed AI video model this month, with converging signals across r/Seedance_AI, r/generativeAI, and Hacker News painting a picture of breakthrough capability tangled in access chaos and regulatory blowback. The top HN thread (hn/Alisaqqt, 7pts) correctly anticipated the Atlas Cloud API launch, while r/generativeAI captured the viral reaction to its cinematic output.
**CapCut integration is the global access breakthrough.** As of Feb 25, Seedance 2.0 is live inside CapCut desktop and mobile - confirmed across both r/seedance and @grok. @jznode reports it costs about $2 per generation with no Chinese phone number required, resolving the access barrier that dominated discussion for weeks.
**Cinematic quality sets a new bar.** r/generativeAI's viral thread - "Seedance 2.0 just generated a 1-minute film with ZERO editing" - showcases multi-shot coherence, transitions, and character consistency. Theoretically Media's review (199K views) declared it has claimed the AI video throne barely a week after Kling 3.0 held that title. But @TferThomas offers the counterpoint: "it's still slop."
**The access problem spawned scams and wrappers.** Cross-referencing Reddit and HN reveals the same frustration from two angles: users in r/Seedance_AI warn about scam sites like NemoVideo, while HN saw 8+ Show HN wrapper apps (SeeVideo, Seedance3AI, etc.) launch in a single month [xref: HN5/R6, HN4/R6]. Most HN wrappers attracted zero comments, suggesting developer supply outpaced real demand.
**API rollout delayed by deepfake/copyright concerns.** r/Seedance_AI documents the delay explicitly - the API launch was pushed back due to deepfake and copyright guardrails. This connects to r/AIGuild's report of Hollywood backlash and r/AI_UGC_Marketing's note that ElevenLabs silently removed Seedance 2.0 after a SAG-AFTRA incident. The regulatory pressure is reshaping access from multiple directions.
**Jimeng platform is failing its users.** Threads across r/Seedance_AI report 24-hour network errors on Jimeng Web, silent account bans on paid accounts, and $1,000+ wasted on failed generations. A separate thread from r/HiggsfieldAI argues "the censorship just ruined Seedance 2.0," while r/AI_Agents offers a measured take: "Seedance 2.0 is impressive. It's still not a production workflow."
**Hands-on testers reveal the real workflow.** u/Illustrious-One7744 provides detailed notes on what actually works - consistency via reference images, shot planning for multi-shot coherence, and the limitations of text-only prompting. This practical perspective is absent from the hype-driven YouTube tutorials.
**Multi-shot coherence is the technical differentiator.** HN commenter hn/RyanMu identifies the core issue: most AI video tools "generate isolated clips that fall apart when you try to build an actual narrative." A separate Show HN specifically targets the "jump-cut problem" that Seedance 2.0 claims to solve.

# M4 MacBook Pro Review - What People Are Saying (Last 30 Days)
The M4 MacBook Pro has settled into the market and the verdict is remarkably consistent across platforms: this is the best MacBook Pro generation in years, but most people do not need the Pro or Max chips. MKBHD's review (4M views, 105K likes) captures the prevailing sentiment - he used an M1 Max for three years without feeling the upgrade itch, but the M4 Max finally convinced him. Meanwhile, a cross-platform signal from Created Tech's Air vs Pro comparison (472K views on YouTube, also discussed on r/macbookpro) suggests the base M4 is more than enough for most buyers.
**The base M4 is the sweet spot for most users.** MacRumors makes the case explicitly - "Base M4 is All You Need, Skip Pro & Max" - and this aligns with what multiple reviewers found after months of daily use. The Pro and Max chips remain overkill unless you have a specific pro workload that demands them, per Created Tech's long-term reviews.
**The M4 generation is the first worthwhile upgrade since M1.** MKBHD, Dave2D, and ShortCircuit all converge on this. Per @bhphoto, the M3-to-M4 jump is modest, but the M1/M2-to-M4 jump is significant. ShortCircuit's "Don't Buy the Wrong MacBook" specifically warns against upgrading from M3, reinforcing the skip-a-generation strategy.
**Local AI workloads are the new killer use case for Pro/Max configs.** This is where X data gets interesting. Per @jameslmorton, a maxed 128GB M4 MacBook Pro pushes 70 tokens/s for local LLM inference, though quality varies by model. @grok highlights that 64GB M4 Pro/Max configurations can run local AI agents with zero cloud dependency and sub-second response times. Ollama runs natively via Metal, needing 18-24GB of unified memory as a practical minimum. This is the clearest justification for spending up on Pro or Max silicon in 2026.
**Long-term satisfaction holds up, with minor friction points.** Both Max Tech and Created Tech published multi-month follow-ups, and the consensus is overwhelmingly positive - per Max Tech, "Everyone was WRONG" about early complaints. However, r/macbookpro threads surface battery life concerns on the 14-inch model and display/port/speaker comparisons that drove at least one user to return an M4 Air in favor of the Pro. These are edge cases, not patterns, but worth noting.
**The Air vs Pro decision is the real question, not which Pro chip.** Created Tech's comparison [also on: Reddit] frames the actual purchase decision most buyers face. The Pro's advantages - better display, more ports, superior speakers - matter more than the chip difference for the majority of users.
KEY PATTERNS:
1. Base M4 is sufficient for most professional use cases, per Created Tech and MacRumors
2. Local AI inference is the emerging justification for Pro/Max configs, per @jameslmorton
3. Skip-a-generation upgrade strategy confirmed - M3 to M4 is marginal, M1/M2 to M4 is significant, per @bhphoto
4. Battery life expectations need recalibrating against Apple's marketing claims, per r/macbookpro
5. Air vs Pro is a more meaningful decision than Pro vs Max for most buyers

# What I learned
Cross-referencing Reddit ownership reports, YouTube long-term reviews, and X commentary on the M4 MacBook Pro reveals a maturing consensus: this is excellent hardware with a surprisingly simple recommendation for most buyers. MKBHD's review (4M+ views) and Dave2D's deep dive both confirm that the M4 Max convinced even skeptical upgraders, while r/macbookpro threads tell a more complicated story about living with the machine day to day.
**The Air-to-Pro switch is about more than the chip.** One of the most interesting Reddit threads covers a user who returned an M4 MacBook Air for the M4 MacBook Pro - and the reasons weren't about raw performance. The Pro's display quality, speaker system, and port selection drove the decision, per r/macbookpro. This suggests the "just buy the Air" advice that dominates YouTube doesn't account for the full ownership experience. Created Tech's 4-month Air vs Pro comparison video captures this tension, finding meaningful differences in sustained workloads and thermals.
**Battery expectations need recalibrating.** Multiple r/macbookpro threads question the M4 Pro 14-inch battery life against Apple's advertised numbers. Real-world users report notably different drain rates depending on workload mix, and there is genuine concern rather than just nitpicking. The pattern across Reddit is consistent: if you run development tools, Docker, or browser-heavy workflows, expect meaningfully less than Apple's "up to 24 hours" claim.
**Long-term reviewers are more candid.** The YouTube landscape for this topic is unusually rich in follow-up content. Brandon Butch's 3-month review flags the disconnect between benchmarks and daily feel. Max Tech published two separate long-term reviews - one at 1 month calling it "BEST Mac EVER!?" and another at 6 months titled "Everyone was WRONG!" - showing how opinions evolve with extended use, per Max Tech on YouTube. Created Tech's 6-month review reinforces the incremental-upgrade narrative. Hardware Canucks initially called it "insane" but that enthusiasm has cooled.
**Local AI is the sleeper use case.** The X conversation is dominated by AI workload discussions. @jameslmorton reports 70 tokens/s on a fully loaded 128GB M4 MacBook Pro, though notes quality varies dramatically by model. @grok confirms Ollama runs natively via Metal on M4 hardware, needing 18-24GB unified memory for usable inference speeds. For developers evaluating the M4 Pro vs Max, local LLM performance is becoming as important as traditional creative benchmarks.
**Configuration advice is converging.** Across all sources, the recommendation structure is settling: base M4 for general professional use, M4 Pro 24GB for developers and moderate creative work, M4 Max only for sustained GPU workloads or large local model inference. MacRumors explicitly advises skipping Pro and Max for most buyers. The M3-to-M4 upgrade path remains thin unless you need Thunderbolt 5 or the Nano texture display, per @bhphoto.

# Best Rap Songs 2026
The rap landscape in early 2026 is defined by a mix of chart-topping singles, Grammy momentum, and a steady stream of new releases keeping the culture moving. Lil Uzi Vert's "What You Saying" kicked off the year by hitting #1 on Hot Rap Songs in January, marking their third career chart-topper (@grok). Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar continued his dominant run, winning his second Record of the Year Grammy alongside SZA for "Luther" (r/hiphopheads), cementing the track as one of the most celebrated rap-adjacent records of the cycle.
**Lil Uzi Vert owns early 2026 charts.** "What You Saying" debuted at #1 on Hot Rap Songs and peaked at #14 on the Hot 100, making it the biggest pure rap single of January-February 2026. Multiple X posts tracked its chart performance, and it appeared across playlist threads (@grok).
**Kendrick Lamar and the Grammy effect.** Kendrick's wins at the 68th Annual Grammys for Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, and Record of the Year (with SZA for "Luther") dominated Reddit discussion across r/hiphopheads and r/KendrickLamar. "Luther" and tracks from GNX continue to define the quality benchmark heading into 2026.
**DJ mixes reveal what is actually in rotation.** The highest-viewed YouTube content is not individual tracks but curated mixes. West Coast Finest's "Lit Hip Hop Mix 2026" featuring Tyga, Quavo, Iggy Azalea, Wiz Khalifa, Juicy J, and 50 Cent pulled 407K views, suggesting West Coast and party rap have strong listener demand. DJ Noize's February 2026 trap tape provides a reliable snapshot of the newest releases getting club and playlist play.
**Underground and international names are surfacing.** Nuno Zigi's "World Best Lie" was called out as one of the most meaningful rap songs of 2026 (@Zika_gfx). Andre Toutman's "All The Love" was claimed as song of the year in r/GoodAssSub. These are not mainstream chart entries yet but reflect organic community enthusiasm.
**Nostalgia holds its own against new releases.** Multiple threads - r/TeenageRapFans, r/musicteenager, and even X posts praising older Beyonce tracks over current output (@DPOSTS6) - show that listeners are actively comparing 2026 releases against all-time classics and finding much of the new crop lacking.

# What I learned
The "best rap songs 2026" landscape is being shaped by three forces right now: Grammy season validation, community-curated playlists, and chart performance. Across 26 sources spanning Reddit, X, and YouTube, this is the most complete picture available of what people are calling the best rap of the year so far.
**Most-mentioned artists and tracks across sources:**
- **Lil Uzi Vert - "What You Saying"** - the dominant early-2026 rap single, cited across 3 X posts (@grok) as hitting #1 on Hot Rap Songs in January 2026 and peaking #14 on the Hot 100. His third career chart-topper in the format, with a surprise album reportedly on the way.
- **Kendrick Lamar & SZA - "Luther"** - won Record of the Year at the 68th Grammys per r/hiphopheads, with the r/KendrickLamar live megathread calling it a defining moment for the 2026 awards cycle. Sources: r/hiphopheads, r/KendrickLamar.
- **Nuno Zigi - "World Best Lie"** - @Zika_gfx flagged this as a meaningful 2026 rap track (highest-engagement X post at 86 score, 12 likes/5 RTs).
- **Drake & PARTYNEXTDOOR - "$ome $exy $ongs 4 U"** - r/hiphopheads ran a 1-year retrospective discussion, with users debating which tracks still hold up. Sources: r/hiphopheads.
- **Andre Toutman - "All The Love"** - claimed as a "song of the year" contender on r/GoodAssSub, generating debate about whether it deserves that label.
- **Sean Bryant - "Love vs Loyalty" (album)** - teased by @teammusic2046 as an upcoming 2026 project.
The cross-platform version pulled the richest Reddit haul (11 threads), surfacing several high-signal sources the other versions missed. The r/makemeaplaylist weekly competition featured an underground rap playlist winner. r/GoodAssSub contributed a direct "song of the year" debate thread. And critically, r/hiphopheads had the Kendrick/SZA Grammy thread and the Drake/PARTYNEXTDOOR retrospective - both of which anchor what "best" means in different ways (industry recognition vs. staying power).
The Grammy conversation runs deep here: r/hiphopheads covered Pre-Show winners, r/KendrickLamar hosted a live megathread for the 68th Annual ceremony, and the Best Rap Song category discussion appeared across both. Kendrick's Grammy wins position "Luther" and his broader catalog as the critical establishment's answer to "best rap."
YouTube coverage remained consistent across all versions - West Coast Finest's mix (407K views, Tyga/Quavo/Wiz Khalifa/50 Cent) and DJ Noize's two February compilations (Trap Tape #127, Hot Right Now #153) are the go-to discovery channels for current rotation tracks.

## What I learned:
The React-vs-Svelte debate in early 2026 has shifted from "which is better" to "when does each one make sense" - and the answer increasingly depends on what you're optimizing for. A viral comparison by Beyond Fireship (697K views) captures the mood with the line "life is more fun when unreasonable," suggesting that Svelte's appeal is partly philosophical. Meanwhile on Reddit, a startup migration post in r/webdev details real performance gains after moving from React to Svelte 5, grounding the conversation in production evidence rather than benchmark theater.
**Svelte 5 runes reset the learning curve - and the narrative.** Fireship's "Did runes just ruin Svelte?" crystallized a tension the community is still processing. The old dollar-sign reactivity was Svelte's signature trick; runes replaced it with something more explicit but less magical. Reddit threads in r/sveltejs reflect this split: newcomers find runes intuitive, while long-time users mourn the simplicity that drew them in. The net effect is that Svelte now feels closer to React's mental model (explicit state declarations), which paradoxically makes it easier to compare - and harder to differentiate.
**React's dominance is increasingly described as inertia, not enthusiasm.** @nicobaogim on X argues React in 2026 "only makes sense for ecosystem maturity and team habits," while @Chubbi_Stephen satirizes the discourse with "Meanwhile React: still powering 80%..." A CityJS conference talk by @erikras uses the phrase "late-stage React," treating it like an incumbent that everyone depends on but few champion. The Reddit thread in r/react comparing hooks/useEffect to runes reads less like advocacy and more like a support group. React is not losing users - it is losing evangelists.
**Job market pragmatism still favors React, but the gap is narrowing.** The r/sveltejs thread "How is going svelte?" surfaces a recurring tension: developers love writing Svelte but worry about employability. @singhprateek_25's X post listing 2026 fresher requirements includes both React and Svelte side by side, signaling that hiring managers are at least aware. The government portal evaluation in r/sveltejs - a developer coming from .NET and React, seriously weighing Svelte for accessibility, SEO, and forms - suggests Svelte is crossing the threshold from "side project framework" to "enterprise candidate."
**Post-framework thinking is emerging.** @cityjsconf announced a talk on Ripple that cherry-picks from React, Svelte, and Solid, while @dennydotio predicted frameworks themselves become obsolete once AI handles code generation. The Japanese developer community is exploring WebF, which compiles React/Vue/Svelte directly to native apps, per @QiitaTrend. The React-vs-Svelte framing may have a shorter shelf life than either community expects.
### CONTRADICTIONS
The biggest contradiction sits at the center of the Svelte community itself. Runes were supposed to make Svelte more approachable and scalable, but Fireship's video questioning whether runes "ruined" Svelte shows genuine anxiety. Reddit threads where newcomers say "Svelte is easier than React" coexist with experienced Svelte developers saying the migration to runes introduced friction they did not expect.
**KEY PATTERNS:**
1. **Decision-making threads outnumber opinion threads** - developers are asking "when should I use Svelte" not "is Svelte good," signaling market maturation, per r/sveltejs
2. **Svelte wins the greenfield argument, React wins the hiring argument** - the tradeoff is consistently framed around team composition, not technology, per @nicobaogim
3. **Svelte 5 runes narrowed the gap in both directions** - Svelte gained explicitness but lost some of its simplicity advantage over React, per Fireship on YouTube
4. **Real-world constraint discussions favor nuanced choices** - the government portal thread showed that SSR support, a11y tooling, and i18n readiness matter more than DX benchmarks, per r/sveltejs
5. **Cross-compilation and hybrid approaches are gaining traction** - WebF and Ripple both treat React and Svelte as source material rather than competing endpoints, per @QiitaTrend

## What I learned:
The React vs Svelte debate in 2026 has matured from "which is better" to "when does each make sense" - and the community data reflects this nuance. With 6 Reddit threads surfaced (the most of any version), including real decision-making discussions on r/sveltejs about government portals and learning timelines, the cross-platform search captured a richer picture of how developers are actually choosing between these frameworks. Beyond Fireship's head-to-head comparison video remains the canonical reference with nearly 700K views.
**Real Projects, Real Tradeoffs** - The most revealing thread came from a developer evaluating Svelte for a bilingual government portal on r/sveltejs, weighing accessibility, SEO, and form handling against their React/.NET background. This is the 2026 framework decision in practice: not "which benchmark wins" but "which framework handles my specific constraints." The r/webdev migration thread provided the performance-gain narrative, while r/sveltejs threads on ease of learning showed Svelte's onboarding advantage remains strong.
**The Simplicity Question Got Complicated** - An r/sveltejs thread directly asked "Is Svelte easier than React?" - and the answers were more nuanced than expected. Svelte 5's rune system drew mixed reactions; Fireship's analysis questioned whether runes "ruined" what made Svelte appealing in the first place. The shift from implicit dollar-sign reactivity to explicit runes brought Svelte closer to React's mental model, which paradoxically weakened Svelte's differentiation pitch.
**React's Moat Is Cultural, Not Technical** - @nicobaogim argued React in 2026 only makes sense for ecosystem maturity and team habits. An r/sveltejs thread on "how is Svelte going" revealed job-market pragmatism as the quiet force keeping React dominant - developers personally prefer Svelte but professionally default to React. @Chubbi_Stephen's satirical framework discourse captured this tension perfectly.
**Post-Framework Thinking Is Emerging** - @cityjsconf announced a talk on Ripple that cherry-picks from React, Svelte, and Solid, while @dennydotio predicted frameworks themselves become obsolete once AI handles code generation. The Japanese developer community is exploring WebF, which compiles React/Vue/Svelte directly to native apps, per @QiitaTrend.

Claude Code skills and MCP servers are at an inflection point - the community is building so fast that infrastructure tooling (sandboxes, marketplaces, directories) is appearing alongside the skills themselves. @ihtesham2005 highlighted Anthropic open-sourcing their internal Skills library, and Hacker News is seeing a steady stream of Show HN projects building on this layer.
**Specialized skill packs are the new open-source project type** - Builders are shipping domain-specific skill bundles: a 55K-word email marketing knowledge base (hn/cosmoblk, 10pts), 12 SEO skills for Claude Code (r/ClaudeCode), and AI marketing skills (hn/superamped). These aren't generic - they embed deep domain knowledge into SKILL.md files.
**Security and sandboxing are emerging concerns** - SkillSandbox (hn/ClaytheMachine) is a Rust-based capability sandbox for AI agent skills, and Gulama (hn/san-techie21) pitches itself as a "security-first" OpenClaw alternative. As skills get more powerful, the HN crowd is asking hard questions about what they should be allowed to do.
**MCP is becoming a framework target, not just a protocol** - Upjack (hn/barefootsanders) is a declarative framework for building apps over MCP, and the GTM MCP Server (hn/paolobietolini) lets AI manage Google Tag Manager containers. MCP is evolving from "connect tools to Claude" into "build entire products on top of MCP."
**Agent orchestration is the next layer up** - Axon (hn/gjkim042) provides Kubernetes-native orchestration for AI coding agents, and hn/alternateman built tooling to turn Claude Code or Codex into proactive 24/7 agents. The pattern is skills for single tasks, orchestration for workflows, infrastructure for always-on agents.
**Skill discovery is an unsolved problem** - Indx.sh (hn/micronink) is a directory of AI coding rules, MCP servers, and tools. ClawsMarket (hn/digitcatphd) is a marketplace where AI agents discover tools. @ghumare64 uses a dedicated tool to sync and scan skills from the marketplace. Multiple independent attempts to solve discovery suggest it's a real pain point.
KEY PATTERNS from the research:
1. HN builders are creating infrastructure (sandboxes, frameworks, marketplaces) while Reddit/X users are creating end-user skills - the ecosystem is specializing, per hn/ClaytheMachine
2. Marketing is the breakout non-dev use case for skills - multiple independent projects across HN, Reddit, and YouTube, per hn/cosmoblk
3. Skills are going cross-platform - builders are creating skills that work with Claude Code AND Codex, per @zeeg
4. The implicit vs explicit skill invocation debate is live - Codex handles implicit well, Claude Code still needs explicit mentions, per @zeeg
5. Solo devs and small teams are the core adoption wedge - team-level skill sharing is the growth vector, per r/ClaudeCode

## What I learned
ByteDance's **Seedance 2.0** has dominated AI video discussion this month, with r/singularity and Hacker News tracking both the technical leaps and the messy rollout. The top HN thread (hn/Alisaqqt, 7pts) previewed the model in early February and correctly predicted the Atlas Cloud API launch on Feb 24.
**CapCut integration marks the global launch.** As of Feb 25, Seedance 2.0 is live inside CapCut desktop and mobile worldwide. @jznode confirms no Chinese phone number is needed, with generations running about $2 each. A parallel r/singularity thread tracks the announcement with discussion of censorship trade-offs and pricing.
**One-minute coherent films.** r/generativeAI showcases a Seedance 2.0 output - a one-minute film with multi-shot coherence, scene transitions, and consistent characters, all generated with zero editing. The claim is contested but the output samples are circulating widely.
**API availability is a saga.** The top HN story noted the API was not yet available in early Feb, with Atlas Cloud access promised for Feb 24. By late February, r/generativeAI reports Seedance 2.0 appearing in "open source tools already," while third-party APIs (useapi.net) offer access of uncertain authenticity. Multiple Show HN posts (SeeVideo, Seedance3AI, and others) are building wrapper apps, but most sit at 1 point with zero comments.
**Jimeng platform instability.** r/Seedance_AI documents 24-hour stretches of "Network Error, Generation Failed" on Jimeng Web, silent account bans distinguishing paid from free accounts, and general frustration. One user reports wasting $1,000+ on failed generations due to content review rejections.
**Hollywood and SAG-AFTRA blowback.** r/AIGuild covers ByteDance facing Hollywood backlash over Seedance 2.0 IP concerns. r/AI_UGC_Marketing notes ElevenLabs quietly removed Seedance 2.0 integration after a SAG-AFTRA incident, breaking UGC video workflows.
**Developer community response is breadth without depth.** HN saw 15 stories this month, but engagement is thin - only the preview thread (7pts, 7 comments) generated real discussion. The rest are Show HN launches of wrapper apps (SeeVideo, Seedance3AI, etc.) that attracted minimal attention, suggesting developer tools are outpacing developer demand.
**Multi-shot narrative is the real breakthrough.** HN commenter hn/RyanMu notes that most AI video tools "generate isolated clips that fall apart when you try to build an actual narrative" - Seedance 2.0's multi-shot coherence is what sets it apart, and a separate Show HN specifically targets the "jump-cut problem."
### KEY PATTERNS
1. **Access fragmentation creates a wrapper gold rush** - 8+ Show HN posts launched Seedance wrapper apps in a single month, but almost none gained traction, suggesting the market wants official API access, not middlemen (HN)
2. **Platform musical chairs** - added to CapCut, removed from ElevenLabs, broken on Jimeng, promised on Atlas Cloud - the access surface is shifting weekly, making production workflows unreliable (r/singularity)
3. **Quality ceiling vs. guardrail floor** - Seedance 2.0's cinematic output quality is the highest in the space, but content moderation filters reject enough generations to cost power users real money (r/Seedance_AI)
4. **Multi-shot coherence is the moat** - while competitors offer single-clip generation, Seedance 2.0's ability to maintain character and scene consistency across shots is the feature driving adoption (hn/RyanMu)
5. **Hype-to-engagement ratio is extreme** - 15 HN stories but only 1 with meaningful discussion; YouTube tutorials pulling 200K views while developers barely engage, indicating consumer interest far outpaces technical community adoption (HN)

# What I learned
The M4 MacBook Pro has been extensively reviewed across YouTube and Reddit, but the developer-focused Hacker News community has been notably silent on the topic this cycle. Still, the broader conversation paints a detailed picture: the M4 lineup is strong hardware with an increasingly clear "buy the base model" consensus forming. Per @bhphoto, the M3-to-M4 differences are real but not dramatic, and r/macbookpro owners are backing that up with months of ownership data.
**Base M4 is the default recommendation.** MacRumors dedicated a full video to arguing that the base M4 MacBook Pro is all most buyers need, advising people to skip the Pro and Max chips. Just Josh's review and recommendations video landed at a similar conclusion. The M4 Pro and Max are specialized tools - unless you are editing multicam 4K timelines, running sustained ML training, or pushing large local LLMs, the base chip handles professional workloads without breaking a sweat.
**Battery reality is a sore spot.** The most pointed discussion on r/macbookpro compares "battery life reality vs review" - users are finding that Apple's headline battery numbers don't match their daily experience, especially on the 14-inch model. A separate thread flags concern about whether the 14-inch battery life should worry buyers. The gap between controlled reviewer testing and real usage with Chrome, Slack, and Docker running is meaningful enough to generate repeat threads.
**Long-term ownership tells the real story.** The launch-day review cycle was overwhelmingly positive, but the 3-to-12-month follow-ups are more measured. Brandon Butch's 3-month review is titled "This Feels Wrong," capturing the sentiment that the M4 benchmarks well but doesn't feel transformative in practice. Created Tech revisited at both 4 and 6 months; Hardware Canucks called it "insane" at launch but the hype has settled. Per r/macbookpro, at least one owner posted about genuine disappointment with heat management and app stability on their M4 MBP.
**Local LLM capability is a real differentiator.** On X, the conversation has shifted toward the M4 as a local AI machine. @jameslmorton reports 70 tokens/s on a maxed-out 128GB M4 MacBook Pro running local models. @grok confirms Ollama runs natively on Apple Silicon via Metal, with the Q4_K_M quantization needing 18-24GB unified memory for decent performance. This use case barely appeared in traditional reviews but is driving real purchase decisions among developers.
**The upgrade calculus from M3 is thin.** @bhphoto's M3 vs M4 comparison guide lays out the silicon differences, and the conclusion across sources is consistent: if you own an M3 Pro or Max, the M4 is not a compelling upgrade. New buyers benefit; upgraders should probably wait for M5.

Early 2026 rap is in a transitional moment - Grammy season just wrapped, playlist curators are compiling their first "best of" roundups, and the community is still debating which new tracks deserve the crown. Across 25 sources from Reddit, X, and YouTube, a handful of names and tracks keep appearing, with Lil Uzi Vert's "What You Saying" leading the pack.
**Most-mentioned artists and tracks across sources:**
- **Lil Uzi Vert - "What You Saying"** - cited in 3 X posts (@grok) as hitting #1 on Hot Rap Songs in January 2026, peaking #14 Hot 100. The most chart-validated rap track of the year so far, with a surprise album rumored to follow.
- **Nuno Zigi - "World Best Lie"** - called out by @Zika_gfx as a standout meaningful rap song for 2026 (highest engagement X post, 12 likes/5 RTs).
- **DFL - "Art Of Life"** - shared directly to r/hiphop as a 2026 release. Sources: r/hiphop.
- **Plat Hav Pro - "Get F'D Up"** - another 2026 track posted to r/hiphop. Sources: r/hiphop.
- **Jody Lo - "Ridiculous"** - 2026 track shared in r/hiphop. Sources: r/hiphop.
- **Westside Gunn - "12" (album)** - r/hiphopheads ran a 1-year retrospective discussion, with users citing favorite tracks still in rotation.
The HN version's expanded Reddit search (10 threads vs. 6 in base) surfaced several sources the base version missed. r/playlists has a dedicated "Mix Rap Hiphop 2026" thread, r/musicplaylists has a "Best 2026 Rap Playlist" post with 178 saves, and r/hiphop contributed three individual 2026 track posts (DFL, Plat Hav Pro, Jody Lo) that give concrete song recommendations. The r/edranked "Reddit Ranked: Hip Hop '26" community ranking project also appeared here, confirming it as a key aggregation point.
Grammy discourse is prominent: r/hiphopheads discussed Pre-Show winners across Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance categories, providing a baseline for what the industry considers the best.
On YouTube, the same three mixes appeared - West Coast Finest's "Lit Hip Hop Mix 2026" (407K views, featuring Tyga, Quavo, Iggy Azalea, Wiz Khalifa, Juicy J, 50 Cent) and DJ Noize's two February compilations (Trap Tape #127, Hot Right Now #153). These function as the best discovery playlists for current rap rotation.

## What I learned:
The React vs Svelte conversation in early 2026 is driven by real migration decisions rather than abstract benchmarks. A widely-discussed r/webdev thread documented one startup's move from React to Svelte 5 with tangible performance and developer experience improvements, while Fireship's video on React trying to "win back" developers pulled nearly 700K views - signaling broad community interest in this rivalry.
**Svelte 5 vs React Hooks - The Mental Model War** - The r/react comparison thread directly pits Svelte 5 runes against React hooks, with developers debating which abstraction better maps to how they think about state. An r/sveltejs thread on "when to choose React over Svelte" framed the decision around practical constraints: existing team knowledge, library availability, and hiring. The consensus leans toward Svelte for greenfield projects and React for teams already invested in its ecosystem.
**"Late-Stage React" Enters the Vocabulary** - @cityjsconf promoted a CityJS talk on Ripple, a new framework that extracts "the good parts of React, Svelte, and Solid" - framing React as entering its legacy phase. This mirrors @Chubbi_Stephen's satirical take on framework discourse, where every developer argues against React but React keeps powering 80% of production sites.
**The Ecosystem Moat Is Real but Narrowing** - @nicobaogim made the case that React's only 2026 advantage is ecosystem maturity and team habits, not technical superiority. Beyond Fireship's side-by-side "10 Examples" comparison showed Svelte consistently requiring less code for equivalent functionality, reinforcing the DX argument.
**Frameworks Facing Existential Questions** - @dennydotio predicted 2026 as the year JS frameworks start dying, arguing they exist for human code organization rather than machine needs. If AI-generated code becomes the norm, the framework abstraction layer loses its purpose entirely.
**KEY PATTERNS:**
1. **Migration stories consistently favor Svelte on performance and code volume** - but teams flag ecosystem gaps as the main friction, per r/webdev
2. **React is chosen by default, Svelte is chosen by conviction** - the decision framework centers on team inertia vs technical preference, per @nicobaogim
3. **Svelte 5 runes remain contentious within the Svelte community** - some developers feel runes traded Svelte's simplicity for React-like explicitness, per Fireship on YouTube
4. **Hybrid frameworks are emerging from the debate** - new projects like Ripple synthesize patterns from both, treating the rivalry as a source of ideas rather than a winner-take-all contest, per @cityjsconf
5. **TypeScript-first DX is the shared ground** - @FabianHiller's type-safe forms tooling drew the highest engagement, suggesting the real frontier is developer tooling, not framework choice

```
Both searches run **in parallel** using Python's `ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=2)`.
---
## Reddit Search
### How it works
Reddit search uses the **OpenAI Responses API** with the `web_search` tool, domain-filtered to `reddit.com` only.
**API Call:**
```
POST https://api.openai.com/v1/responses
Authorization: Bearer {OPENAI_API_KEY}
```
**Payload:**
```json
{
"model": "gpt-5.2",
"tools": [{
"type": "web_search",
"filters": { "allowed_domains": ["reddit.com"] }
}],
"input": "Search Reddit for threads about {topic}..."
}
```
The prompt asks the model to:
1. Extract core subject (strip noise words like "best", "tips", "top")
2. Search 3 patterns: `"{topic} site:reddit.com"`, `"reddit {topic}"`, `"{topic} reddit"`
3. Return JSON with `title`, `url`, `subreddit`, `date`, `relevance`
4. URLs must contain `/r/` AND `/comments/` (real threads only)
**Model fallback chain:** `gpt-5.2 → gpt-5.1 → gpt-5 → gpt-4.1 → gpt-4o → gpt-4o-mini`
Triggers on HTTP 400/403 with access error keywords.
### Enrichment (the secret sauce)
After search, each thread gets **enriched** by hitting Reddit's free JSON API:
```
GET https://reddit.com/r/{sub}/comments/{id}/{slug}/.json
```
No API key needed. This returns the actual thread data:
| Data Point | Source |
|---|---|
| Upvotes (score) | Reddit JSON API |
| Comment count | Reddit JSON API |
| Upvote ratio | Reddit JSON API |
| Top 10 comments (text + score) | Reddit JSON API |
| 7 key comment insights | Extracted via heuristics |
| Actual post date | `created_utc` timestamp |
**This is why Reddit results have real engagement metrics** — the enrichment step fetches actual upvote/comment data, not AI estimates.
### Depth settings
| Depth | Threads requested | Timeout |
|---|---|---|
| `--quick` | 15-25 | 90s |
| default | 30-50 | 120s |
| `--deep` | 70-100 | 180s |
---
## X/Twitter Search
X search has **two backends** — the skill auto-detects which to use.
### Priority: Bundled Bird (env auth) → xAI API (paid)
```python
if node_available and AUTH_TOKEN and CT0:
use bundled Bird # Free, popup-free, env-authenticated
elif XAI_API_KEY:
use xAI API # Paid, uses grok-4-1-fast
else:
skip X entirely # No X results
```
### Backend 1: xAI API
**API Call:**
```
POST https://api.x.ai/v1/responses
Authorization: Bearer {XAI_API_KEY}
```
**Payload:**
```json
{
"model": "grok-4-1-fast",
"tools": [{ "type": "x_search" }],
"input": "Search X for posts about {topic} from {from_date} to {to_date}..."
}
```
The prompt asks grok to return JSON with:
- `text`, `url`, `author_handle`, `date`
- `engagement`: `{ likes, reposts, replies, quotes }`
- `why_relevant`, `relevance` score
**Engagement data comes from grok's x_search tool** - it has direct access to X's data.
### Backend 2: Bundled Bird client (free alternative)
The repo vendors a search-only subset of Bird's Twitter GraphQL client and shells out to it with Node.js. No global `bird` install is required. The Python wrapper passes `AUTH_TOKEN` and `CT0` via env, which keeps normal local runs headless and avoids browser-cookie prompts.
**Bundled Bird returns raw X API data** - likes, reposts, replies are real engagement metrics from X's API, not estimates.
| Metric | Bundled Bird | xAI API |
|---|---|---|
| Post text | Real | Real |
| Likes/reposts | Real (X API) | Real (x_search tool) |
| Replies/quotes | Real | Real |
| Author handle | Real | Real |
| Relevance score | Default 0.7 (re-ranked by score.py) | AI-assessed 0.0-1.0 |
### Depth settings
| Depth | xAI posts | Bundled Bird results | xAI timeout | Bird timeout |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `--quick` | 8-12 | 12 | 90s | 30s |
| default | 20-30 | 30 | 120s | 45s |
| `--deep` | 40-60 | 60 | 180s | 60s |
---
## Post-Processing (both sources)
After both searches complete:
1. **Normalize** — consistent formatting, timezone handling
2. **Date filter** — hard filter to requested date range
3. **Score** — relevance scoring (engagement-weighted)
4. **Sort** — highest scores first
5. **Deduplicate** — remove duplicate URLs
6. **Fallback** — if all items filtered out, keep top 3 by relevance
---
## Error Handling
| Layer | Strategy |
|---|---|
| HTTP requests | 3 retries with exponential backoff (1s → 2s → 3s) |
| Model access errors | Automatic fallback to next model in chain |
| Reddit enrichment | Per-item try/catch; keeps unenriched item on failure |
| X source detection | Silent fallback from Bird → xAI → skip |
| Overall pipeline | Errors stored as `reddit_error`/`x_error`, shown to user |

# Bird CLI Integration Implementation Plan
> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
**Goal:** Add Bird CLI as a free, zero-config alternative to xAI for X/Twitter searches with interactive installation.
**Architecture:** New `bird_x.py` module handles Bird detection, installation prompts, and search. Modified `env.py` determines X source priority (Bird → xAI → WebSearch). Main script prompts for Bird install if not found.
**Tech Stack:** Python 3, subprocess for Bird CLI calls, existing lib modules for normalization/scoring.
---
### Task 1: Create bird_x.py - Detection Functions
**Files:**
- Create: `scripts/lib/bird_x.py`
**Step 1: Create the module with detection functions**
```python
"""Bird CLI client for X (Twitter) search."""
import json
import shutil
import subprocess
import sys
from datetime import datetime
from typing import Any, Dict, List, Optional, Tuple
def _log(msg: str):
"""Log to stderr."""
sys.stderr.write(f"[Bird] {msg}\n")
sys.stderr.flush()
def is_bird_installed() -> bool:
"""Check if Bird CLI is installed."""
return shutil.which("bird") is not None
def is_bird_authenticated() -> Optional[str]:
"""Check if Bird is authenticated by running 'bird whoami'.
Returns:
Username if authenticated, None otherwise.
"""
if not is_bird_installed():
return None
try:
result = subprocess.run(
["bird", "whoami"],
capture_output=True,
text=True,
timeout=10,
)
if result.returncode == 0 and result.stdout.strip():
# Output is typically the username
return result.stdout.strip().split('\n')[0]
return None
except (subprocess.TimeoutExpired, FileNotFoundError, Exception):
return None
def check_npm_available() -> bool:
"""Check if npm is available for installation."""
return shutil.which("npm") is not None
```
**Step 2: Verify the module loads**
Run: `cd /Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private && python3 -c "from scripts.lib import bird_x; print('OK')"`
Expected: `OK`
**Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add scripts/lib/bird_x.py
git commit -m "feat(bird): add detection functions for Bird CLI"
```
---
### Task 2: Add Bird Installation Functions
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/lib/bird_x.py`
**Step 1: Add installation function**
Add after `check_npm_available()`:
```python
def install_bird() -> Tuple[bool, str]:
"""Install Bird CLI via npm.
Returns:
Tuple of (success, message).
"""
if not check_npm_available():
return False, "npm not found. Install Node.js first, or install Bird manually: https://github.com/steipete/bird"
try:
_log("Installing Bird CLI...")
result = subprocess.run(
["npm", "install", "-g", "@steipete/bird"],
capture_output=True,
text=True,
timeout=120,
)
if result.returncode == 0:
return True, "Bird CLI installed successfully!"
else:
error = result.stderr.strip() or result.stdout.strip() or "Unknown error"
return False, f"Installation failed: {error}"
except subprocess.TimeoutExpired:
return False, "Installation timed out"
except Exception as e:
return False, f"Installation error: {e}"
def get_bird_status() -> Dict[str, Any]:
"""Get comprehensive Bird status.
Returns:
Dict with keys: installed, authenticated, username, can_install
"""
installed = is_bird_installed()
username = is_bird_authenticated() if installed else None
return {
"installed": installed,
"authenticated": username is not None,
"username": username,
"can_install": check_npm_available(),
}
```
**Step 2: Verify functions work**
Run: `cd /Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private && python3 -c "from scripts.lib import bird_x; print(bird_x.get_bird_status())"`
Expected: Dict with installed/authenticated status
**Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add scripts/lib/bird_x.py
git commit -m "feat(bird): add installation and status functions"
```
---
### Task 3: Add Bird Search Function
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/lib/bird_x.py`
**Step 1: Add depth config and search function**
Add after imports at top:
```python
# Depth configurations: number of results to request
DEPTH_CONFIG = {
"quick": 12,
"default": 30,
"deep": 60,
}
```
Add after `get_bird_status()`:
```python
def search_x(
topic: str,
from_date: str,
to_date: str,
depth: str = "default",
) -> Dict[str, Any]:
"""Search X using Bird CLI.
Args:
topic: Search topic
from_date: Start date (YYYY-MM-DD)
to_date: End date (YYYY-MM-DD)
depth: Research depth - "quick", "default", or "deep"
Returns:
Raw Bird JSON response or error dict.
"""
count = DEPTH_CONFIG.get(depth, DEPTH_CONFIG["default"])
# Build command
cmd = [
"bird", "search",
topic,
"--since", from_date,
"-n", str(count),
"--json",
]
# Adjust timeout based on depth
timeout = 30 if depth == "quick" else 45 if depth == "default" else 60
try:
result = subprocess.run(

### Task 4: Add Bird Response Parser
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/lib/bird_x.py`
**Step 1: Add parse function**
Add at end of file:
```python
def parse_bird_response(response: Dict[str, Any]) -> List[Dict[str, Any]]:
"""Parse Bird response to match xai_x output format.
Args:
response: Raw Bird JSON response
Returns:
List of normalized item dicts matching xai_x.parse_x_response() format.

**Step 2: Verify parser handles empty input**
Run: `cd /Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private && python3 -c "from scripts.lib import bird_x; print(bird_x.parse_bird_response({}))"`
Expected: `[]`
**Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add scripts/lib/bird_x.py
git commit -m "feat(bird): add response parser matching xai_x format"
```

```
**Step 2: Add prompt functions to ProgressDisplay class**
Add these methods to the `ProgressDisplay` class (after `show_promo` method, around line 310):
```python
def prompt_bird_install(self) -> bool:
"""Prompt user to install Bird CLI.
Returns:
True if user wants to install, False otherwise.

**Step 3: Verify new methods exist**
Run: `cd /Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private && python3 -c "from scripts.lib.ui import ProgressDisplay; p = ProgressDisplay('test', show_banner=False); print(hasattr(p, 'prompt_bird_install'))"`
Expected: `True`
**Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add scripts/lib/ui.py
git commit -m "feat(ui): add Bird CLI install prompts and auth help"
```
---
### Task 6: Update env.py with X Source Detection
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/lib/env.py`
**Step 1: Add get_x_source function**
Add at end of file:
```python
def get_x_source(config: Dict[str, Any]) -> Optional[str]:
"""Determine the best available X/Twitter source.
Priority: Bird (free) → xAI (paid API)
Args:

```
**Step 2: Verify function works**
Run: `cd /Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private && python3 -c "from scripts.lib import env; print(env.get_x_source_status(env.get_config()))"`
Expected: Dict with source status
**Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add scripts/lib/env.py
git commit -m "feat(env): add X source detection with Bird priority"
```
---
### Task 7: Update __init__.py to Export bird_x
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/lib/__init__.py`
**Step 1: Add bird_x to imports**
Replace file contents with:
```python
# last30days library modules
from . import bird_x
```
**Step 2: Verify import works**
Run: `cd /Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private && python3 -c "from scripts.lib import bird_x; print('OK')"`
Expected: `OK`
**Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add scripts/lib/__init__.py
git commit -m "feat(lib): export bird_x module"
```
---
### Task 8: Integrate Bird into Main Script - Part 1 (Setup Phase)
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/last30days.py`
**Step 1: Add bird_x import**
Add `bird_x` to the imports from lib (around line 36):
```python
from lib import (
bird_x,
dates,
dedupe,
env,
http,
models,
normalize,
openai_reddit,
reddit_enrich,
render,
schema,
score,
ui,
websearch,
xai_x,
)
```
**Step 2: Add Bird setup function**
Add after the imports, before `load_fixture`:
```python
def setup_bird_if_needed(progress: ui.ProgressDisplay) -> Optional[str]:
"""Check Bird status and offer installation if needed.
Returns:
'bird' if Bird is ready to use,
'declined' if user declined install,
None if Bird not available and couldn't be installed.
"""
status = bird_x.get_bird_status()
# Already working
if status["authenticated"]:
return 'bird'
# Installed but not authenticated
if status["installed"]:
progress.show_bird_auth_help()
return None
# Not installed - offer to install if npm available
if status["can_install"]:
if progress.prompt_bird_install():
success, message = bird_x.install_bird()
if success:
# Check if auth works now
username = bird_x.is_bird_authenticated()
if username:
progress.show_bird_install_success(username)
return 'bird'
else:
progress.show_bird_auth_help()
return None
else:
progress.show_bird_install_failed(message)
return None
else:
return 'declined'
return None
```
**Step 3: Verify script still loads**
Run: `cd /Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private && python3 -c "import scripts.last30days; print('OK')"`
Expected: `OK`
**Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add scripts/last30days.py
git commit -m "feat(main): add Bird setup function"
```
---
### Task 9: Integrate Bird into Main Script - Part 2 (Search Dispatch)
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/last30days.py`
**Step 1: Modify _search_x function to support Bird**
Replace the `_search_x` function (around line 119-159) with:
```python
def _search_x(
topic: str,
config: dict,
selected_models: dict,
from_date: str,
to_date: str,
depth: str,
mock: bool,
x_source: str = "xai",
) -> tuple:
"""Search X via Bird CLI or xAI (runs in thread).
Args:
x_source: 'bird' or 'xai' - which backend to use
Returns:
Tuple of (x_items, raw_response, error)
"""
raw_response = None
x_error = None
if mock:
raw_response = load_fixture("xai_sample.json")
x_items = xai_x.parse_x_response(raw_response or {})
return x_items, raw_response, x_error
# Use Bird if specified
if x_source == "bird":
try:
raw_response = bird_x.search_x(
topic,
from_date,
to_date,
depth=depth,
)
except Exception as e:
raw_response = {"error": str(e)}
x_error = f"{type(e).__name__}: {e}"
x_items = bird_x.parse_bird_response(raw_response or {})
# Check for error in response
if raw_response and raw_response.get("error") and not x_error:
x_error = raw_response["error"]
return x_items, raw_response, x_error
# Use xAI (original behavior)
try:
raw_response = xai_x.search_x(
config["XAI_API_KEY"],
selected_models["xai"],
topic,
from_date,
to_date,
depth=depth,
)
except http.HTTPError as e:
raw_response = {"error": str(e)}
x_error = f"API error: {e}"
except Exception as e:
raw_response = {"error": str(e)}
x_error = f"{type(e).__name__}: {e}"
x_items = xai_x.parse_x_response(raw_response or {})
return x_items, raw_response, x_error
```
**Step 2: Update run_research to accept x_source parameter**
Find the `run_research` function signature (around line 161) and add `x_source` parameter:
```python
def run_research(
topic: str,
sources: str,
config: dict,
selected_models: dict,
from_date: str,
to_date: str,
depth: str = "default",
mock: bool = False,
progress: ui.ProgressDisplay = None,
x_source: str = "xai",
) -> tuple:
```
Then update the `_search_x` call inside (around line 218-222) to pass `x_source`:
```python
x_future = executor.submit(
_search_x, topic, config, selected_models,
from_date, to_date, depth, mock, x_source
)
```
**Step 3: Verify script syntax is valid**
Run: `cd /Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private && python3 -m py_compile scripts/last30days.py && echo "OK"`
Expected: `OK`
**Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add scripts/last30days.py
git commit -m "feat(main): dispatch X search to Bird or xAI"
```
---
### Task 10: Integrate Bird into Main Script - Part 3 (Main Function)
**Files:**
- Modify: `scripts/last30days.py`
**Step 1: Update main() to check Bird before research**
In the `main()` function, after loading config and before checking available sources (around line 345-355), add Bird setup:
Find this section:
```python
# Load config
config = env.get_config()
# Check available sources
available = env.get_available_sources(config)
```
Replace with:
```python
# Load config
config = env.get_config()
# Initialize progress display early for Bird prompts
progress = ui.ProgressDisplay(args.topic, show_banner=True)
# Check Bird availability and offer install if needed
x_source_status = env.get_x_source_status(config)
x_source = x_source_status["source"]
# If no X source and Bird can be installed, offer it
if x_source is None and x_source_status["can_install_bird"]:
bird_result = setup_bird_if_needed(progress)
if bird_result == 'bird':
x_source = 'bird'
# Refresh status
x_source_status = env.get_x_source_status(config)
# Check available sources (now accounting for Bird)
available = env.get_available_sources(config)
# Override available if Bird is ready
if x_source == 'bird':
if available == 'reddit':
available = 'both' # Now have both Reddit + X (via Bird)
elif available == 'web':
available = 'x' # Now have X via Bird
```
**Step 2: Remove duplicate progress initialization**
Find and remove the later `progress = ui.ProgressDisplay(...)` line (around line 371) since we now create it earlier.
**Step 3: Pass x_source to run_research**
Find the `run_research` call (around line 413) and add `x_source` parameter:
```python
reddit_items, x_items, web_needed, raw_openai, raw_xai, raw_reddit_enriched, reddit_error, x_error = run_research(
args.topic,
sources,
config,
selected_models,
from_date,
to_date,
depth,
args.mock,
progress,
x_source=x_source or "xai",
)
```
**Step 4: Verify script runs with --help**
Run: `cd /Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private && python3 scripts/last30days.py --help`
Expected: Help text displays without errors
**Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add scripts/last30days.py
git commit -m "feat(main): integrate Bird setup into main flow"
```
---
### Task 11: Test End-to-End with Mock Mode
**Files:**
- None (testing only)
**Step 1: Test mock mode still works**
Run: `cd /Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private && python3 scripts/last30days.py "Claude Code" --mock --emit=compact 2>&1 | head -20`
Expected: Output showing research results without errors
**Step 2: Test Bird detection (informational)**
Run: `cd /Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private && python3 -c "from scripts.lib import env; import json; print(json.dumps(env.get_x_source_status(env.get_config()), indent=2))"`
Expected: JSON showing current Bird/xAI status
**Step 3: Commit any fixes if needed, then final commit**
```bash
git add -A
git commit -m "feat(bird): complete Bird CLI integration
- Add bird_x.py module for Bird CLI detection, install, and search
- Add UI prompts for interactive Bird installation
- Update env.py with X source priority (Bird > xAI)
- Integrate Bird into main research flow
- Bird uses browser cookies (free, no API key needed)"
```
---
### Task 12: Push to Private Repo
**Files:**
- None (git only)
**Step 1: Push all changes**
Run: `cd /Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private && git push origin main`
Expected: Changes pushed to private repo
**Step 2: Verify commit history**
Run: `cd /Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private && git log --oneline -10`
Expected: Shows Bird integration commits

## Summary
After completing all tasks, the skill will:
1. Check if Bird CLI is installed on startup
2. If not installed but npm available, prompt user to install
3. If installed, verify authentication via `bird whoami`
4. If authenticated, use Bird for all X searches (free)
5. If not, fall back to xAI (if key exists) or WebSearch
6. Output format identical regardless of backend used

# Bird CLI Integration Design
**Date:** 2026-02-03
**Status:** Approved
## Overview
Add Bird CLI as an alternative X/Twitter search source for the last30days skill. Bird uses browser cookie authentication (free, no API key) and provides direct access to X's GraphQL API.
## Goals
- Provide free X search without requiring xAI API key
- Seamless fallback: Bird → xAI → WebSearch
- Interactive onboarding for users without Bird installed
- Output parity with existing xAI implementation
## Detection & Priority Flow
```
On startup:
1. Check: Is Bird installed? (`which bird`)
├─ No → Offer to install: "Bird CLI not found. Install for free X search? (y/n)"
│ ├─ Yes → Run `npm install -g @steipete/bird`
│ └─ No → Continue to step 2
└─ Yes → Check: Is Bird authenticated? (`bird whoami`)
├─ Success → Use Bird for X searches
└─ Fail → Show: "Bird auth failed. Run `bird check` to diagnose."
Continue to step 2
2. Fall back to xAI if XAI_API_KEY exists
3. Fall back to WebSearch if nothing else available
```
**Priority order:** Bird → xAI → WebSearch
## New Module: `scripts/lib/bird_x.py`
### Functions
- `is_bird_installed()` → checks `which bird`, returns bool
- `is_bird_authenticated()` → runs `bird whoami`, returns username or None
- `install_bird()` → runs `npm install -g @steipete/bird`, returns success bool
- `search_x(topic, from_date, to_date, depth)` → runs `bird search` with JSON output
- `parse_bird_response(json)` → converts to same format as `xai_x.parse_x_response()`
### Search Command
```bash
bird search "Claude Code skills" --since 2026-01-04 -n 30 --json
```
- `--since` filters to last 30 days
- `-n 30` controls result count (maps to depth: quick=12, default=30, deep=60)
- `--json` gives machine-readable output
### Output Mapping
| Bird field | Our field |
|------------|-----------|
| `text` | `text` |
| `permanent_url` | `url` |
| `user.screen_name` | `author_handle` |
| `created_at` | `date` (parse to YYYY-MM-DD) |
| `like_count` | `engagement.likes` |
| `retweet_count` | `engagement.reposts` |
| `reply_count` | `engagement.replies` |
| `quote_count` | `engagement.quotes` |
Relevance: Default to 0.7, let `score.py` re-rank based on engagement.
## Modified Files
| File | Change |
|------|--------|
| `env.py` | Add `get_x_source()` → returns `'bird'`, `'xai'`, or `None` |
| `last30days.py` | Check Bird availability with interactive install prompt before research |
| `last30days.py` | In `_search_x()`, dispatch to `bird_x` or `xai_x` based on source |
| `ui.py` | Add `prompt_bird_install()` and `show_bird_auth_help()` |
## Unchanged Files
- `normalize.py` - Bird output matches xAI format after parsing
- `score.py` - Same scoring logic applies
- `dedupe.py` - Same deduplication logic
- `render.py` - X results labeled as "X" regardless of backend
## Error Handling
| Scenario | Behavior |
|----------|----------|
| Bird installed but no browser cookies | Show `bird check` guidance, fall back to xAI |
| Bird search returns 0 results | Retry with simplified query (same as xAI logic) |
| Bird search times out | Fall back to xAI if available, else WebSearch |
| npm not installed (can't install Bird) | Skip Bird, continue with xAI/WebSearch |
| User declines Bird install | Remember for session, don't ask again |
**Timeout:** 30 seconds for Bird commands
## Output Labels
Results labeled as "X" regardless of whether Bird or xAI was used. Users care about the data, not the backend.

title: "feat: Release last30days v2 with Bird CLI to GitHub"
type: feat
date: 2026-02-06
---
# Release last30days v2 (Bird CLI) to GitHub
## Overview
Replace the current public `last30days-skill` on GitHub with the new Bird CLI-enhanced version from `last30days-skill-private`. The new version adds free X/Twitter search via Bird CLI while maintaining backward compatibility with xAI API keys.
**Goal:** Ship with confidence. No rollbacks.
## Current State
| | Old (Public) | New (Private) |
|---|---|---|
| **Repo** | `mvanhorn/last30days-skill` | `mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private` |
| **Local path** | `~/.claude/skills/last30days/` | `~/.claude/skills/last30daystest/` (symlink) |
| **Remote** | `origin` → public repo | `origin` → private, `upstream` → public |
| **Key addition** | -- | Bird CLI (`@steipete/bird`) for free X search |
| **X source chain** | xAI API only | Bird (free) → xAI (paid) → WebSearch |
| **Uses** | 136 | 18 |
| **Latest commit** | `cc892d7` | `4230fa2` |
**Why both show as `/last30days`:** Both `SKILL.md` files declare `name: last30days` in frontmatter. Claude Code discovers both from `~/.claude/skills/` and lists them separately.
---
## Phase 0: Clean Swap (Day 1)
Remove the old skill so only the new one is active. This eliminates ambiguity during testing.
### Steps
1. **Back up the old skill** (safety net):
```bash
mv ~/.claude/skills/last30days ~/.claude/skills/last30days.backup-v1
```
2. **Promote the new skill to primary**:
```bash
# Remove the test symlink
rm ~/.claude/skills/last30daystest
# Create new symlink with the primary name
ln -s /Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private ~/.claude/skills/last30days
```
3. **Verify only one `/last30days` appears**:
- Open a new Claude Code session
- Type `/last` and confirm only ONE `/last30days` shows in autocomplete
- Confirm description mentions Bird CLI
4. **Rollback procedure** (if something goes wrong):
```bash
rm ~/.claude/skills/last30days
mv ~/.claude/skills/last30days.backup-v1 ~/.claude/skills/last30days
```
### Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] Only one `/last30days` appears in Claude Code autocomplete
- [ ] Old skill preserved at `~/.claude/skills/last30days.backup-v1`
- [ ] New skill responds to `/last30days` invocation
---
## Phase 1: Claude's Test Plan (Automated)
These are tests Claude can run autonomously to validate the new skill before the user touches it.
### 1.1 Script-Level Smoke Tests
Run the Python scripts directly to verify core functionality without invoking the full skill.
#### Bird CLI Detection
```bash
# Test: Bird is installed and authenticated
python3 -c "
import sys; sys.path.insert(0, '/Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private/scripts/lib')
import bird_x
print('installed:', bird_x.is_bird_installed())
print('authenticated:', bird_x.is_bird_authenticated())
print('status:', bird_x.get_bird_status())
"
```
- [ ] `is_bird_installed()` returns True (or False with clear message)
- [ ] `is_bird_authenticated()` returns True if logged into X in browser
- [ ] `get_bird_status()` returns a dict with `installed`, `authenticated`, `available` keys
#### Environment & Source Detection
```bash
python3 -c "
import sys; sys.path.insert(0, '/Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private/scripts/lib')
import env
config = env.load_config()
print('x_source:', env.get_x_source(config))
print('has_openai:', bool(config.get('OPENAI_API_KEY')))
"
```
- [ ] `get_x_source()` returns `'bird'` if Bird available, `'xai'` if API key set, `None` otherwise
- [ ] Config loads from `~/.config/last30days/.env`
#### Bird Search (Direct)
```bash
python3 -c "
import sys, json; sys.path.insert(0, '/Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private/scripts/lib')
import bird_x
result = bird_x.search_x('Claude Code tips', '2026-01-07', '2026-02-06', 'quick')
print(json.dumps(result, indent=2, default=str)[:2000])
"
```
- [ ] Returns search results (list of dicts with `url`, `text`, `author_handle`)
- [ ] No Python tracebacks
- [ ] Results are from the expected date range
#### Full Research Pipeline (Compact Output)
```bash
cd /Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private
python3 scripts/last30days.py "Claude Code tips" --emit=compact --quick 2>&1 | head -100
```
- [ ] Completes without error
- [ ] Output includes X results (via Bird or xAI)
- [ ] Output includes Reddit results (via OpenAI) if key configured
- [ ] Stats summary shows source counts
### 1.2 Source Fallback Tests
Verify graceful degradation when sources are unavailable.
#### Bird unavailable, xAI available
```bash
# Temporarily hide Bird
PATH_BACKUP="$PATH"
export PATH=$(echo "$PATH" | tr ':' '\n' | grep -v "$(dirname $(which bird 2>/dev/null))" | tr '\n' ':')
python3 -c "
import sys; sys.path.insert(0, '/Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private/scripts/lib')
import env
config = env.load_config()
print('x_source (no bird):', env.get_x_source(config))
"
export PATH="$PATH_BACKUP"
```
- [ ] Falls back to `'xai'` when Bird not in PATH
- [ ] No crash or unhandled exception
#### No X source at all
```bash
python3 -c "
import sys; sys.path.insert(0, '/Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private/scripts/lib')
import env
config = {} # empty config, no keys
print('x_source (nothing):', env.get_x_source(config))
"
```
- [ ] Returns `None`
- [ ] No crash
### 1.3 Response Parsing Tests
Validate that Bird responses are correctly normalized to the canonical schema.
```bash
python3 -c "
import sys; sys.path.insert(0, '/Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private/scripts/lib')
import bird_x
# Test with sample Bird response format
sample = {
'tweets': [{
'permanentUrl': 'https://x.com/user/status/123',
'text': 'Test tweet about Claude Code',
'username': 'testuser',
'likeCount': 42,
'retweetCount': 10,
'replyCount': 5,
'timeParsed': '2026-02-01T12:00:00.000Z'
}]
}
parsed = bird_x.parse_bird_response(sample)
print('Parsed count:', len(parsed))
print('First item keys:', sorted(parsed[0].keys()) if parsed else 'EMPTY')
print('URL:', parsed[0].get('url'))
print('Author:', parsed[0].get('author_handle'))
"
```
- [ ] Parses correctly with expected keys
- [ ] Handles both camelCase and snake_case fields
- [ ] URL, text, author, engagement metrics all present
### 1.4 SKILL.md Validation
```bash
# Verify YAML frontmatter parses correctly
python3 -c "
import yaml
with open('/Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private/SKILL.md') as f:
content = f.read()
# Extract YAML between --- markers
parts = content.split('---', 2)
meta = yaml.safe_load(parts[1])
print('name:', meta.get('name'))
print('context:', meta.get('context'))
print('agent:', meta.get('agent'))
print('allowed-tools:', meta.get('allowed-tools'))
"
```
- [ ] `name` is `last30days` (not `last30daystest`)
- [ ] `context` is `fork`
- [ ] `agent` is `Explore`
- [ ] `allowed-tools` includes `Bash`, `WebSearch`
### 1.5 Diff Audit (Old vs New)
```bash
# Verify the only meaningful addition is bird_x.py
diff -rq ~/.claude/skills/last30days.backup-v1/scripts/lib/ \
/Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private/scripts/lib/ 2>/dev/null
```
- [ ] Only new file is `bird_x.py`
- [ ] Modified files: `env.py` (source detection), `__init__.py` (exports)
- [ ] No unexpected deletions or renames
---
## Phase 2: User's Test Plan (Manual)
These require human judgment - evaluating quality, UX, and real-world behavior.
### 2.1 Basic Invocation (5 min)
Open a fresh Claude Code session after Phase 0 is complete.
| # | Test | Command | Pass Criteria |
|---|------|---------|---------------|
| 1 | Simple topic | `/last30days AI music generation` | Returns results, shows source stats |
| 2 | Topic + tool | `/last30days Suno prompts for music production` | Returns results + generates a prompt |
| 3 | Quick mode | `/last30days --quick TypeScript tips` | Faster, fewer results, still valid |
| 4 | Empty input | `/last30days` | Prompts for topic (doesn't crash) |
### 2.2 Bird CLI Verification (5 min)
| # | Test | What to Check |
|---|------|---------------|
| 1 | Source indicator | Output shows Bird as X source (not xAI) |
| 2 | X results quality | X/Twitter results are real, recent, have engagement metrics |
| 3 | Bird promo | If Bird NOT installed, shows non-blocking info banner |
| 4 | Mixed sources | Both Reddit (OpenAI) and X (Bird) results appear |
### 2.3 Fallback Behavior (5 min)
| # | Test | Setup | Expected |
|---|------|-------|----------|
| 1 | No Bird | `npm uninstall -g @steipete/bird` temporarily | Falls back to xAI or WebSearch |
| 2 | No API keys | Rename `~/.config/last30days/.env` temporarily | WebSearch-only mode works |
| 3 | Restore | Reinstall bird + restore .env | Full mode returns |
### 2.4 Output Quality (10 min)
Run 3 real research queries you care about. For each, evaluate:
- [ ] Results are actually from the last 30 days (not stale)
- [ ] Engagement metrics (likes, upvotes) are present and reasonable
- [ ] No duplicate results
- [ ] Sources are properly cited with URLs
- [ ] Synthesis is grounded in actual results (not hallucinated)
- [ ] Generated prompts (if requested) are usable
### 2.5 Comparison Test (10 min)
Before removing the backup, run the SAME query on both versions:
```bash
# New version (active)
/last30days [your topic]
# Old version (temporarily restore)
rm ~/.claude/skills/last30days
mv ~/.claude/skills/last30days.backup-v1 ~/.claude/skills/last30days
# New Claude Code session
/last30days [same topic]
# Then swap back
```
- [ ] New version produces equal or better results
- [ ] No features regressed
- [ ] Bird results add value over xAI-only

# feat: Add Visible Query Parsing Display
## Overview
The last30days skill parses user intent (TOPIC, QUERY_TYPE, TARGET_TOOL) internally but never shows the user what it understood. The agent jumps straight from the user's `/last30days kanye west` into running tools with a generic "I'll start the research script and web searches in parallel."
Users expect to see a reformulation of their query — confirming what the agent understood before it starts searching. This builds trust and lets users course-correct before waiting for results.
## Problem Statement
Current behavior:
```
User: /last30days kanye west
Agent: I'll start the research script and web searches in parallel.
[immediately runs bash + WebSearch]
```
Expected behavior:
```
User: /last30days kanye west
Agent: 🔍 **kanye west** · News
Searching Reddit, X, and the web for the latest on kanye west...
[then runs bash + WebSearch]
```
The "Parse User Intent" section in SKILL.md tells the agent to store variables internally but never instructs it to **display** them.
## Proposed Solution
Add an explicit "Display your parsing" instruction between the "Parse User Intent" section and "Research Execution" section in SKILL.md. One new block of text — no code changes, no script changes.
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] Agent displays parsed TOPIC and QUERY_TYPE before running any tools
- [ ] Display is concise (1-2 lines, not a verbose block)
- [ ] Agent still runs script + WebSearch in parallel after displaying
- [ ] No changes to Python scripts — SKILL.md only
## Implementation
### SKILL.md Change
**File:** `/Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private/SKILL.md`
After the "Store these variables" block (line ~38) and before "Research Execution" (line ~42), add:
```markdown
**DISPLAY your parsing to the user.** Before running any tools, output a single line:
🔍 **{TOPIC}** · {QUERY_TYPE}
Searching Reddit, X, and the web for {natural language description of what you'll look for}...
Example outputs:
- 🔍 **kanye west** · News — Searching Reddit, X, and the web for the latest kanye west news and discussions...
- 🔍 **best MCP servers** · Recommendations — Searching Reddit, X, and the web for the most recommended MCP servers...
- 🔍 **nano banana pro prompting** · Prompting — Searching Reddit, X, and the web for nano banana pro prompting techniques and tips...
- 🔍 **open claw** · General — Searching Reddit, X, and the web for what people are saying about open claw...
If TARGET_TOOL is known, mention it: "...for nano banana pro prompting techniques to use in ChatGPT..."
This text MUST appear before you call any tools. It confirms to the user that you understood their request.
```
### Sync
After editing SKILL.md:
```bash
cp /Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/last30days/SKILL.md
```
## Test Plan
Run in a NEW Claude Code session:
1. `/last30days kanye west` — should display: 🔍 **kanye west** · News
2. `/last30days best MCP servers` — should display: 🔍 **best MCP servers** · Recommendations
3. `/last30days nano banana pro prompting for ChatGPT` — should display with tool mention

# fix: last30days v2 Formatting, Reddit Results, and Citation Verbosity
## Overview
Four bugs found during v2 testing across 4 queries (kanye west, howie.ai, nano banana pro prompting, open claw). The skill IS executing (the agent:Explore removal worked) but output quality has regressed from v1.
## Problem Statement
| # | Bug | Severity | Where |
|---|-----|----------|-------|
| 1 | Stats emoji tree format ignored 3/4 times - agent renders plain text dashes instead | High | `SKILL.md` |
| 2 | Reddit returns 0 results for popular topics (kanye west, howie.ai) | High | `scripts/lib/openai_reddit.py` |
| 3 | Citations too verbose - every sentence has `(per @x, @y, @z; r/sub)` making summary unreadable | Medium | `SKILL.md` |
| 4 | Kanye summary is wall of text - no bold headers or paragraph breaks like nano banana pro got | Medium | `SKILL.md` |
## Proposed Fixes
### Fix 1: Stats Emoji Format Enforcement
**Root cause:** The agent ignores the emoji tree template even with BAD/GOOD examples. The template uses box-drawing characters (├─ └─) that the agent treats as decorative, not mandatory.
**Approach:** Instead of relying on the agent to copy box-drawing characters, provide the template as a **literal fill-in-the-blank** with placeholders that are impossible to misinterpret.
**File:** `SKILL.md` (stats section, currently around line 190)
**Change:** Replace the current template + BAD/GOOD examples with a single, strict fill-in format:
```
Copy this EXACTLY, replacing only the {placeholders}:
---
✅ All agents reported back!
├─ 🟠 Reddit: {N} threads │ {N} upvotes │ {N} comments
├─ 🔵 X: {N} posts │ {N} likes │ {N} reposts (via Bird/xAI)
├─ 🌐 Web: {N} pages │ {domain1}, {domain2}, {domain3}
└─ 🗣️ Top voices: @{handle1} ({N} likes), @{handle2} │ r/{sub1}, r/{sub2}
---
If Reddit returned 0 threads, write: "├─ 🟠 Reddit: 0 threads (no results this cycle)"
NEVER use plain text dashes (-) or pipe (|). ALWAYS use ├─ └─ │ and the emoji.
```
Remove the separate BAD/GOOD section (it adds length without helping).
### Fix 2: Reddit Returning 0 Results
**Root cause (from code analysis):**
1. `openai_reddit.py:53-93` - The `REDDIT_SEARCH_PROMPT` instructs the OpenAI model to strip noise words before searching. For "kanye west" this isn't the issue (no noise words), but for "howie.ai" it might strip "ai".
2. `openai_reddit.py:160-166` - The search is restricted to `allowed_domains: ["reddit.com"]` which depends on OpenAI's web_search indexing of Reddit.
3. `last30days.py:474-490` - Post-retrieval filtering: `normalize.filter_by_date_range()` + `score.score_reddit_items()` + `dedupe.dedupe_reddit()` can discard all results if date confidence is low.
4. `score.py:151-157` - Items with no engagement metrics get `-10` penalty, low date confidence gets `-10`. Combined that's `-20` which may push score below threshold.
**Approach (multi-layered):**
**A. Add subreddit-targeted search fallback** in `openai_reddit.py`:
- When the first search returns < 3 results, add a second search prompt that explicitly queries: `"r/{topic} site:reddit.com"` and `"{topic} subreddit site:reddit.com"`
- This catches cases where OpenAI's web_search doesn't find the obvious subreddit
**B. Soften post-retrieval scoring** in `score.py`:
- Change the no-engagement penalty from `-10` to `-3` (missing metrics ≠ irrelevant)
- Change low date confidence penalty from `-10` to `-5`
**C. Add minimum result guarantee** in `last30days.py`:
- If scoring filters out ALL results, keep the top 3 by raw relevance regardless of score
- Log a warning: "All Reddit results scored below threshold, keeping top 3 by relevance"
**Files to change:**
- `scripts/lib/openai_reddit.py` - Add subreddit fallback search (lines ~160-180)
- `scripts/lib/score.py` - Soften penalties (lines ~151-157)
- `scripts/last30days.py` - Add minimum result guarantee (lines ~474-490)
### Fix 3: Citations Too Verbose
**Root cause:** The SKILL.md instruction says "Every insight MUST cite at least one source" with a GOOD example showing `(per @XXX, 15 likes; r/kanye thread with 200 upvotes)` - this is too much detail per citation and the agent over-applies it.
**Approach:** Dial back to "cite 1-2 sources per KEY PATTERN, not per sentence. Use short format."
**File:** `SKILL.md` (citation section, currently around line 158)
**Change the citation rule to:**
```
CITATION RULE: Cite sources sparingly to prove research is real.
- In the "What I learned" intro: cite 1-2 top sources total, not every sentence
- In KEY PATTERNS: cite 1 source per pattern, short format: "per @handle" or "per r/sub"
- Do NOT include engagement metrics in citations (likes, upvotes) - save those for stats box
- Do NOT chain multiple citations: "per @x, @y, @z" is too much. Pick the strongest one.
BAD: "His album is set for March 20 (per @cocoabutterbf; Rolling Stone; HotNewHipHop; Complex)."
GOOD: "His album BULLY is set for March 20 via Gamma, per Rolling Stone."
```
### Fix 4: Summary Formatting (Wall of Text vs Structured)
**Root cause:** The SKILL.md template for PROMPTING/NEWS/GENERAL shows:
```
What I learned:
[2-4 sentences synthesizing...]
```
This gives the agent permission to write a dense paragraph. The nano banana pro test got good formatting because PROMPTING queries naturally produce structured patterns. NEWS queries (kanye) produce narratives that become walls of text.
**Approach:** Add explicit structure to the NEWS/GENERAL format with bold topic headers.
**File:** `SKILL.md` (summary display section, around line 158)
**Change the PROMPTING/NEWS/GENERAL template to:**
```
What I learned:
**{Topic 1}** — [1-2 sentences about this storyline, per source]
**{Topic 2}** — [1-2 sentences, per source]
**{Topic 3}** — [1-2 sentences, per source]
KEY PATTERNS from the research:
1. [Pattern] — per @handle
2. [Pattern] — per r/sub
3. [Pattern] — per source
```
The bold topic headers force structure. Each topic gets its own paragraph with a line break. No more wall-of-text narratives.
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] **Fix 1:** Stats box uses emoji tree format ├─ 🟠 🔵 🌐 └─ 🗣️ in 4/4 test queries
- [ ] **Fix 2:** "kanye west" returns >0 Reddit threads (r/kanye exists and is active)
- [ ] **Fix 3:** Summary citations are 1 per insight, short format, no engagement metrics inline
- [ ] **Fix 4:** NEWS/GENERAL summaries use bold topic headers with paragraph breaks, not wall of text
## Test Plan
Re-run the same 4 queries after fixes:
1. `/last30days kanye west` — NEWS: should get Reddit results, structured summary, emoji stats
2. `/last30days howie.ai` — GENERAL: should get Reddit if available, citations not verbose
3. `/last30days nano banana pro prompting` — PROMPTING: should maintain current good quality, reduce citation density
4. `/last30days open claw` — GENERAL: should cite @handles in summary, emoji stats

# fix: Skill Execution Broken in Fork Mode
## Overview
The last30days v2 skill stopped running its Python script and stopped showing acknowledgment text. The agent jumps straight to WebSearch, ignoring all instructions to run bash first or output text. Five attempted fixes all failed.
## Root Cause (Confirmed via Research)
**The old v1 skill worked by accident.** GitHub Issue #17283 documented that `context: fork` and `agent: Explore` were **silently ignored** in older Claude Code versions. The skill ran **inline** in the main conversation — not in a forked subagent. That's why:
- The user saw acknowledgment text (output inline to conversation)
- The bash script ran (main model followed instructions inline)
- Progress was visible (tool calls shown normally)
**Claude Code 2.1+ fixed the bug** and now properly honors `context: fork`. The skill now truly runs in an isolated subagent where:
- The model decides tool ordering independently
- Text output instructions are deprioritized vs tool calls
- "RUN THIS FIRST" instructions are **suggestions**, not commands
- There is **no mechanism** to force tool ordering in a forked subagent
**This is why every SKILL.md rewrite failed** — the problem isn't the instructions, it's `context: fork` itself.
## Evidence
| Attempt | What we tried | Result |
|---------|--------------|--------|
| 1 | "YOUR FIRST ACTION: Run this command. EXECUTE." | Agent ran script sometimes, never showed ack text |
| 2 | "YOUR FIRST OUTPUT — before ANY tool calls" + progress block | Agent ignored text, jumped to WebSearch |
| 3 | Moved progress block to very first section | Agent ignored it entirely |
| 4 | "DO NOT skip this. DO NOT jump to tool calls first." | Agent still jumped to WebSearch |
| 5 | Embedded echo in bash block + "Do NOT start with WebSearch" | Agent still jumped to WebSearch, never ran bash |
## Proposed Fix
### Option A: Remove `context: fork` (Recommended)
**Remove `context: fork` from frontmatter.** The skill runs inline in the main conversation, exactly like the old v1 skill accidentally did.
**Why this works:**
- Inline execution follows instructions sequentially
- Text output appears directly to the user
- Bash commands run when instructed
- This is how the "working" v1 skill actually operated
**File:** `SKILL.md` frontmatter
**Change from:**
```yaml
---
name: last30days
description: Research a topic from the last 30 days on Reddit + X + Web...
argument-hint: '"[topic] for [tool]" or "[topic]"'
context: fork
allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write, AskUserQuestion, WebSearch
---
```
**Change to:**
```yaml
---
name: last30days
description: Research a topic from the last 30 days on Reddit + X + Web...
argument-hint: '"[topic] for [tool]" or "[topic]"'
allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write, AskUserQuestion, WebSearch
---
```
That's it. Remove the one line.
**Then restore the old v1 instruction flow:**
1. "Parse User Intent" section FIRST (generates acknowledgment text)
2. "Research Execution" with bash command
3. "Do WebSearch" while script runs
4. Synthesize and present
### Option B: Keep `context: fork` + Use `!`command`` Preprocessing
Use shell preprocessing syntax (`!`command``) to run the script **before** the model even sees the prompt:
```markdown
## Research data (auto-fetched)
!`python3 ~/.claude/skills/last30days/scripts/last30days.py "$ARGUMENTS" --emit=compact 2>&1`
```
**Risk:** Not confirmed that `$ARGUMENTS` works in `!`command`` context. More complex. The user still won't see progress text during preprocessing.
### Recommendation: Option A
Remove `context: fork`. It's one line. The old skill worked inline. The v2 skill should too. Option B is a backup if inline mode causes context window issues.
## Implementation
### Step 1: Remove `context: fork` from frontmatter
Single line removal in `SKILL.md`.
### Step 2: Restore v1-style instruction flow
The SKILL.md opening should match the public v1 pattern:
```markdown
# last30days: Research Any Topic from the Last 30 Days
Research ANY topic across Reddit, X, and the web. Surface what people are actually discussing, recommending, and debating right now.
## CRITICAL: Parse User Intent
Before doing anything, parse the user's input for:
[... topic/tool/query type parsing ...]
Store these variables:
- TOPIC = ...
- TARGET_TOOL = ...
- QUERY_TYPE = ...
---
## Research Execution
**Step 1: Run the research script**
```bash
python3 ~/.claude/skills/last30days/scripts/last30days.py "$ARGUMENTS" --emit=compact 2>&1
```
**Step 2: Do WebSearch** (while script runs)
[... websearch queries based on QUERY_TYPE ...]
**Step 3: Wait for script to complete**
[... synthesis instructions ...]
```
The key structural elements from v1 that need to return:
1. Descriptive intro paragraph
2. "Parse User Intent" BEFORE any tool calls
3. Script execution as a clearly labeled step
4. WebSearch as step 2 (not step 1)
### Step 3: Keep all v2 improvements
The v2-specific improvements (citation rules, stats template, Reddit fallback, scoring changes) stay. Only the frontmatter and instruction flow change.
### Step 4: Sync and test
Copy to `~/.claude/skills/last30days/SKILL.md`, test in new session.
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] `context: fork` removed from SKILL.md frontmatter
- [ ] Agent outputs acknowledgment text before running tools
- [ ] Python script actually executes (Reddit + X results appear)
- [ ] WebSearch supplements, doesn't replace, script results
- [ ] Stats emoji tree format renders correctly
- [ ] Citations are sparse (1 per insight, not 3-5)
## Test Plan
Run in a NEW Claude Code session:
1. `/last30days kanye west` — should see ack text, script runs, Reddit results
2. `/last30days open claw` — should see ack text, X results via Bird
## Files to Modify
| File | Change |
|------|--------|
| `SKILL.md` | Remove `context: fork`, restore v1 instruction flow |

# test: V1 vs V2 Comparison Test Plan
## Overview
Run the same queries through both the public v1 and private v2 of last30days, compare output quality across 7 dimensions, and determine if v2 is ready to ship as the new public version.
**This plan also includes a full feature audit** identifying everything v1 has that v2 is missing — some of those gaps need fixing before shipping.
---
## How to Run the Comparison
### Setup
**V1 (public upstream):** Check out upstream SKILL.md temporarily:
```bash
# Save current v2
cp ~/.claude/skills/last30days/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/last30days/SKILL.md.v2
# Install v1 from upstream
cd /Users/mvanhorn/last30days-skill-private
git show upstream/main:SKILL.md > ~/.claude/skills/last30days/SKILL.md
```
Run test queries in a NEW Claude Code session (one session per query to avoid context bleed). Save output.
**V2 (private current):** Restore v2:
```bash
cp ~/.claude/skills/last30days/SKILL.md.v2 ~/.claude/skills/last30days/SKILL.md
```
Run same queries in NEW sessions. Save output.
---

#### ❌ MISSING FROM V2 — Features V1 Has That V2 Dropped
These are the regressions. Some are intentional simplifications, others are real gaps.
**1. Use Cases Block (intro section)**
- **V1 has:** 4 use case examples right after the intro: Prompting, Recommendations, News, General — with concrete examples
- **V2 has:** Nothing. Just the intro paragraph.
- **Impact:** LOW. The query type detection handles this. But it was nice onboarding.
- **Verdict:** Skip — not needed for execution quality.
**2. Setup Check Section (API key guidance)**
- **V1 has:** Full section explaining 3 modes (Full/Partial/Web-Only), first-time setup bash script, "API keys are OPTIONAL" messaging
- **V2 has:** Nothing. Script auto-detects.
- **Impact:** LOW for experienced users. HIGH for first-time users who don't have keys.
- **Verdict:** Skip for now — script handles auto-detection. Consider adding back for public release.
**3. Anti-Pattern Examples (synthesis quality guard)**
- **V1 has:** Explicit anti-pattern block: "If user asks about 'clawdbot skills' and research returns ClawdBot content (self-hosted AI agent), do NOT synthesize this as 'Claude Code skills' just because both involve 'skills'." Plus BAD/GOOD synthesis examples for RECOMMENDATIONS.
- **V2 has:** Only "Ground your synthesis in the ACTUAL research content, not your pre-existing knowledge" — no concrete examples.
- **Impact:** MEDIUM-HIGH. Without concrete anti-patterns, the agent may conflate similar-sounding things.
- **Verdict:** ⚠️ ADD BACK. At minimum, restore the BAD/GOOD RECOMMENDATIONS example and the "don't conflate" warning.
**4. Self-Check Instruction (pre-display validation)**
- **V1 has:** "SELF-CHECK before displaying: Re-read your 'What I learned' section. Does it match what the research ACTUALLY says? If the research was about ClawdBot (a self-hosted AI agent), your summary should be about ClawdBot, not Claude Code. If you catch yourself projecting your own knowledge instead of the research, rewrite it."
- **V2 has:** Nothing.
- **Impact:** MEDIUM. The self-check forces the model to validate its own output.
- **Verdict:** ⚠️ ADD BACK. One line costs nothing and catches hallucination.
**5. Quality Checklist for Prompts ⭐**
- **V1 has:** Explicit checklist before delivering a prompt:
```
### Quality Checklist:
- [ ] FORMAT MATCHES RESEARCH - If research said JSON/structured/etc, prompt IS that format
- [ ] Directly addresses what the user said they want to create
- [ ] Uses specific patterns/keywords discovered in research
- [ ] Ready to paste with zero edits (or minimal [PLACEHOLDERS] clearly marked)
- [ ] Appropriate length and style for TARGET_TOOL
```
- **V2 has:** Only "If research says to use a specific prompt FORMAT, YOU MUST USE THAT FORMAT." — one line instead of 5 checks.
- **Impact:** HIGH. This is likely what the user noticed as missing — v1 prompts felt more polished because the agent ran a checklist before delivering.
- **Verdict:** ⚠️ ADD BACK. This is the "that's a great prompt" quality feel.
**6. Prompt Format Anti-Pattern**
- **V1 has:** "ANTI-PATTERN: Research says 'use JSON prompts with device specs' but you write plain prose. This defeats the entire purpose of the research."
- **V2 has:** Only the positive instruction (use the format research recommends).
- **Impact:** MEDIUM. Negative examples ("don't do this") are powerful for LLMs.
- **Verdict:** ⚠️ ADD BACK. One line.
**7. "IF USER ASKS FOR MORE OPTIONS" Section**
- **V1 has:** "Only if they ask for alternatives or more prompts, provide 2-3 variations. Don't dump a prompt pack unless requested."
- **V2 has:** Nothing about handling multi-prompt requests.
- **Impact:** LOW-MEDIUM. Without it, agent might dump multiple prompts unprompted.
- **Verdict:** ⚠️ ADD BACK. Two lines.
**8. Web-Only Mode Stats Template + Promo**
- **V1 has:** Separate stats template for web-only mode with "💡 Want engagement metrics? Add API keys..." promo
- **V2 has:** Only the full-mode template. If running web-only, agent has no guidance.
- **Impact:** MEDIUM for users without API keys.
- **Verdict:** Consider adding back for public release. Lower priority for now.
**9. TARGET_TOOL Question Template**
- **V1 has:** Explicit AskUserQuestion block with 4 options: [Most relevant tool], Nano Banana Pro, ChatGPT/Claude, Other
- **V2 has:** "run research first, then ask AFTER showing results" — but no actual question template.
- **Impact:** LOW-MEDIUM. Agent will still ask, just less structured.
- **Verdict:** Skip — not critical.
**10. Context Memory: "Don't re-search" Instructions**
- **V1 has:** Explicit "DO NOT run new WebSearches — you already have the research. Answer from what you learned. Cite the Reddit threads, X posts, and web sources."
- **V2 has:** Only "Only do new research if the user explicitly asks about a DIFFERENT topic."
- **Impact:** MEDIUM. Without the explicit ban, agent may re-search on follow-ups, wasting time.
- **Verdict:** ⚠️ ADD BACK. Three lines.
**11. Output Summary Footer (emoji + engagement counts)**
- **V1 has:** `📚 Expert in: {TOPIC} for {TARGET_TOOL}` and `📊 Based on: {n} Reddit threads ({sum} upvotes) + {n} X posts ({sum} likes) + {n} web pages`
- **V2 has:** `Expert in: {TOPIC} for {TARGET_TOOL}` and `Based on: {n} Reddit threads + {n} X posts + {n} web pages` — no emoji, no engagement counts.
- **Impact:** LOW but noticeable. The emoji + counts make the footer feel more substantial.
- **Verdict:** ⚠️ ADD BACK. Trivial fix.

## Execution Plan
### Phase 1: Fix the gaps first
Apply the 7 "Must Fix" + "Should Fix" items from the audit to V2 SKILL.md. This takes ~20 minutes since it's all small text additions.
### Phase 2: Smoke test (4 queries)
Run queries #14 (kanye west), #2 (best clawdbot use cases), #8 (photorealistic nano banana pro), #10 (DeepSeek R1) on V2 only. Verify the fixes work.
### Phase 3: Full comparison (all 17 queries)
Run all 17 queries on both V1 and V2. Fill scorecards.
### Phase 4: Follow-up vision tests (4 queries)
Run the 4 follow-up vision tests. Compare prompt quality — this is where the quality checklist fix matters most.
### Phase 5: Analysis
- Sum scores per version across all queries
- Identify any dimension where v1 consistently beats v2
- Decision: ship v2, or fix more gaps first
## Acceptance Criteria
- [x] Feature audit complete (this document)
- [x] Must-fix gaps restored in V2 SKILL.md
- [ ] All 17 queries run on V2
- [ ] At least 4 queries run on V1 for comparison
- [ ] 4 follow-up vision tests completed
- [ ] Scorecards filled for each
- [ ] Total score comparison documented
- [ ] Any V1 > V2 regressions identified with fix plan
- [ ] Go/no-go decision on shipping v2 as public

date: 2026-02-07

# feat: Bundle Bird X search client to eliminate npm dependency
## Overview
Replace the `subprocess.run(["bird", "search", ...])` dependency in `bird_x.py` with a vendored Node.js module that calls Twitter's GraphQL search API directly. This eliminates the need for users to `npm install -g @steipete/bird` and protects against the package being removed from npm.
Bird is MIT-licensed. We have the full compiled package archived at `vendor/steipete-bird-0.8.0.tgz` and forked to `github.com/mvanhorn/bird-cli-archive`.
## Problem Statement
@steipete deleted Bird's GitHub repo on 2026-02-07. The npm package still works today, but if he unpublishes it from npm:
- New users can't `npm install -g @steipete/bird`
- The `bird` binary disappears from PATH on fresh installs
- `bird_x.py` returns 0 X results for everyone without an xAI API key
- /last30days V2's headline feature ("free X search") stops working for new users
## Proposed Solution
**Vendor Bird's search-only subset as a Node.js module inside /last30days, called from Python via `subprocess.run(["node", ...])`.**
This is the minimal-change approach:
- Keep Python as the orchestrator (bird_x.py stays mostly the same)
- Replace `subprocess.run(["bird", "search", ...])` with `subprocess.run(["node", "vendor/bird-search.mjs", ...])`
- Extract only the search-related code from Bird (not posting, bookmarks, lists, etc.)
- Cookie auth stays the same (environment variables or browser extraction)
### Why not rewrite in pure Python?
Bird's search client uses Twitter's internal GraphQL API with:
- Rotating QueryIDs (hardcoded + runtime refresh from x.com)
- Specific request header construction (bearer token, csrf, client UUIDs)
- Cursor-based pagination with Twitter-specific response parsing
- The `@steipete/sweet-cookie` dependency for browser cookie extraction
Porting all of this to Python is ~1000 lines of fragile reverse-engineering. Vendoring the working JS code is faster, safer, and easier to maintain since the archive includes source maps for debugging.
## Technical Approach
### What we need from Bird
Only 8 files from `dist/lib/` (out of 30+):
1. `twitter-client-base.js` - HTTP client, auth headers, rate limiting
2. `twitter-client-search.js` - Search mixin (the core feature)
3. `twitter-client-utils.js` - Tweet parsing, cursor extraction
4. `twitter-client-constants.js` - API endpoints, QueryIDs
5. `twitter-client-types.js` - TypeScript type stubs
6. `cookies.js` - Cookie resolution (env vars, browser extraction)
7. `runtime-query-ids.js` - QueryID refresh from x.com
8. `paginate-cursor.js` - Cursor pagination helper
Plus:
- `features.json` - GraphQL feature flags
- `query-ids.json` - Hardcoded QueryID fallbacks
### What we DON'T need
Posting, bookmarks, lists, timelines, engagement, follow, media, news, user lookup, user tweets - all the non-search mixins. This cuts the vendored code roughly in half.
### Architecture
```
scripts/
lib/
bird_x.py # MODIFIED - calls node instead of bird binary
vendor/
bird-search/
bird-search.mjs # NEW - thin CLI wrapper, ~40 lines
lib/ # VENDORED - subset of Bird's dist/lib/
twitter-client-base.js
twitter-client-search.js
twitter-client-utils.js
twitter-client-constants.js
twitter-client-types.js
cookies.js
runtime-query-ids.js
paginate-cursor.js
features.json
query-ids.json
node_modules/ # VENDORED - sweet-cookie only
@steipete/
sweet-cookie/
package.json # Minimal, points to bird-search.mjs
LICENSE # Bird's MIT license (required by MIT terms)
```
### Implementation
#### 1. Create `bird-search.mjs` wrapper (~40 lines)
A minimal Node.js script that:
- Accepts: `node bird-search.mjs <query> --count <n> --json`
- Creates a TwitterClient with search mixin only
- Resolves cookies (env vars first, then browser extraction)
- Calls `client.search(query, count)`
- Outputs JSON to stdout
- Exits with code 0 on success, 1 on error
This replaces the full `bird` CLI binary. Same interface, fraction of the code.
#### 2. Modify `bird_x.py` - change subprocess target
```python
# BEFORE (current)
cmd = ["bird", "search", query, "-n", str(count), "--json"]
# AFTER (vendored)
bird_search = Path(__file__).parent / "vendor" / "bird-search" / "bird-search.mjs"
cmd = ["node", bird_search, query, "--count", str(count), "--json"]
```
Same subprocess pattern. Same JSON output format. Minimal diff.
#### 3. Update auth check functions
```python
# BEFORE
def is_bird_installed() -> bool:
return shutil.which("bird") is not None
# AFTER
def is_bird_installed() -> bool:
bird_search = Path(__file__).parent / "vendor" / "bird-search" / "bird-search.mjs"
return bird_search.exists() and shutil.which("node") is not None
```
`is_bird_authenticated()` changes from `bird whoami` to a quick Node.js cookie check or environment variable check.
`install_bird()` becomes a no-op (already vendored) or removes itself entirely.
#### 4. Vendor sweet-cookie
`@steipete/sweet-cookie` is the only runtime dependency. It handles browser cookie extraction on macOS/Linux. Options:
**Option A (recommended):** Vendor sweet-cookie into `vendor/bird-search/node_modules/`. It's small (one file). This makes the skill fully self-contained with zero npm installs.
**Option B:** Fall back to environment variables only (no browser cookie extraction). Users would need to manually set `AUTH_TOKEN` and `CT0` env vars. Simpler but worse UX.
Recommend Option A - vendor it.
#### 5. Update user-facing docs
- `README.md` - Remove "Install Bird CLI" section, replace with "Requires Node.js 22+"
- `SKILL.md` - Remove Bird CLI installation instructions
- Keep the fallback chain: vendored Bird search -> xAI API key -> web-only
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] `bird_x.py` calls vendored Node.js module instead of `bird` binary
- [ ] `search_x()` returns identical JSON format (no downstream changes needed)
- [ ] `search_handles()` works with vendored module
- [ ] Cookie auth works via environment variables (`AUTH_TOKEN`, `CT0`)
- [ ] Cookie auth works via browser extraction (sweet-cookie)
- [ ] `is_bird_installed()` checks for vendored module + Node.js
- [ ] `install_bird()` removed or returns success immediately
- [ ] No `npm install -g @steipete/bird` required anywhere
- [ ] Bird's MIT LICENSE included in vendor directory
- [ ] README updated to remove Bird CLI install steps
- [ ] SKILL.md updated to remove Bird CLI references
- [ ] Works on macOS (primary) and Linux
- [ ] Fallback to xAI API key still works if vendored search fails

## Dependencies & Risks
**Node.js 22+ required** - Users who had Bird CLI already have Node.js. This is not a new dependency, just a version requirement. Claude Code environments typically have Node.js.
**Twitter API changes** - The GraphQL QueryIDs may rotate. Bird includes a runtime refresh mechanism (`runtime-query-ids.js`) that fetches new IDs from x.com. This is vendored and will continue working.
**sweet-cookie platform support** - Browser cookie extraction only works on macOS (Safari, Chrome, Firefox) and Linux (Chrome, Firefox). Windows users need manual env vars. This matches Bird CLI's existing behavior.
**Legal** - Bird is MIT licensed. MIT requires including the license notice in copies. We include `LICENSE` in the vendor directory. Using Twitter's internal API is the same legal gray area Bird always operated in - user accepted this when they used Bird.
## What This Does NOT Change
- Python remains the orchestrator - bird_x.py still does query construction, retry logic, response parsing
- The fallback chain stays: vendored search -> xAI API -> web-only
- Cookie auth mechanism is identical (env vars or browser extraction)
- JSON output format is identical - no changes needed in score.py or format.py
- xai_x.py is completely untouched

# feat: Smart Supplemental Search — Entity-Aware Secondary Passes for Reddit & X
## Overview
Add an intelligent "discover → drill down" second pass to both Reddit and X searches. After the initial broad search, extract entities (handles, subreddits, hashtags) from results and run targeted secondary searches to surface content the broad pass missed. This supplements — does not replace — the existing search pipeline.
## Problem Statement / Motivation
The current search pipeline does a single broad pass per source (with Reddit having 2 fallbacks for low-result scenarios). This works well for general topics, but misses content that lives in:
- **Niche subreddits** that don't rank for generic queries (e.g., searching "Nano Banana Pro" finds r/generativeAI but misses r/nanobanana, r/localLLaMA)
- **Key accounts on X** that are the authorities on a topic but whose individual posts don't rank for broad keyword search (e.g., @steipete for Open Claw, @karpathy for AI training)
- **Conversation threads** where the most valuable discussion happens in replies, not the original tweet
The product works great today. This is about squeezing 20-30% more high-quality results from sources we already have access to.
## Proposed Solution
### Architecture: Two-Phase Search
```
CURRENT (Phase 1 — unchanged):
Broad topic search → Reddit results + X results
NEW (Phase 2 — supplemental):
Extract entities from Phase 1 results
↓ ↓
[SUBREDDITS] [@HANDLES + #HASHTAGS]
↓ ↓
Targeted Reddit Targeted X searches
searches per sub per handle/hashtag
↓ ↓
Merge + dedupe with Phase 1 results
```
Phase 2 only runs if Phase 1 returned results (entities need to come from somewhere). Phase 2 results are merged and deduped against Phase 1 — the existing `dedupe.py` handles this.
### Feature 1: Entity Extraction Module (NEW FILE)
**File: `scripts/lib/entity_extract.py`**
A lightweight module that parses Phase 1 results and extracts:
**From X results:**
- `@handles` — from `author_handle` field + any @mentions in post text
- `#hashtags` — from post text
- Rank by frequency: handles that appear 2+ times are "key voices"
**From Reddit results:**
- `subreddit` names — from the `subreddit` field on each result
- Cross-referenced subreddits — from enriched comment text mentioning "r/othersub"
- Rank by frequency: subreddits with 2+ threads are "core communities"
**Output:**
```python
{
"x_handles": ["steipete", "openclaw", "karpathy"], # ranked by frequency
"x_hashtags": ["#openclaw", "#aitools"],
"reddit_subreddits": ["generativeAI", "localLLaMA", "nanobanana"],
"reddit_cross_refs": ["singularity", "MachineLearning"], # mentioned in comments
}
```
**Rules:**
- No hardcoded entities — everything discovered dynamically from Phase 1
- Cap at top 5 handles, top 3 hashtags, top 5 subreddits
- Skip generic handles (@elonmusk, @OpenAI) that appear everywhere — maintain a small exclusion list of "too common" handles (< 20 entries)
- Skip the original topic's "obvious" subreddit if it was already searched
### Feature 2: Supplemental X Search (Bird)
**File: modify `scripts/lib/bird_x.py`**
Add a `search_handles()` function:
```python
def search_handles(handles: list[str], topic: str, from_date: str, count_per: int = 5) -> list:
"""Search top handles for topic-related content."""
results = []
for handle in handles[:5]:
# Uses Bird's support for X search operators
query = f"from:{handle} {topic} since:{from_date}"
cmd = ["bird", "search", query, "-n", str(count_per), "--json"]
# ... parse results, add to list
return results
```
**Why Bird, not xAI:** Bird is free (uses your X login). Running 5 secondary searches via xAI would cost ~$0.025 per run, which adds up. Bird costs nothing.
**xAI alternative for users without Bird:** If Bird is not available but xAI is, use `allowed_x_handles` parameter:
```python
# xAI supports filtering to specific handles (max 10)
tools = [{
"type": "x_search",
"x_handles": {"allowed_x_handles": top_handles[:10]}
}]
```
### Feature 3: Supplemental Reddit Search
**File: modify `scripts/lib/openai_reddit.py`**
Add a `search_subreddits()` function:
```python
def search_subreddits(subreddits: list[str], topic: str, ...) -> list:
"""Search discovered subreddits for topic-related content."""
# Build multi-subreddit query for the OpenAI web_search prompt
sub_query = " OR ".join(f"r/{sub}" for sub in subreddits[:5])
prompt = f"Search Reddit for threads about {topic} in these communities: {sub_query}"
# ... single OpenAI API call, same pattern as existing search
```
**Alternative approach — Reddit JSON API (free, no API key):**
```python
def search_subreddit_json(subreddit: str, topic: str) -> list:
"""Search a specific subreddit via Reddit's free JSON endpoint."""
url = f"https://www.reddit.com/r/{subreddit}/search/.json"
params = {"q": topic, "restrict_sr": "on", "sort": "new", "limit": 10}
# ... parse JSON response
```
This is free, requires no API key, and gives us structured data. The `.json` endpoint trick is well-documented and widely used.
### Feature 4: Orchestration Changes
**File: modify `scripts/last30days.py`**
After Phase 1 completes and enrichment is done, run Phase 2:
```python
# Phase 1 (existing — unchanged)
reddit_items, x_items = run_parallel_search(...)
# Phase 2 (new — supplemental)
if reddit_items or x_items:
entities = entity_extract.extract(reddit_items, x_items)
supplemental_reddit = []
supplemental_x = []
# Run supplemental searches in parallel
with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=2) as executor:
if entities["reddit_subreddits"]:
reddit_future = executor.submit(
openai_reddit.search_subreddits,
entities["reddit_subreddits"], topic, ...
)
if entities["x_handles"] and bird_available:
x_future = executor.submit(
bird_x.search_handles,
entities["x_handles"], topic, from_date, ...
)
# Merge with Phase 1
all_reddit = reddit_items + supplemental_reddit
all_x = x_items + supplemental_x
# Dedupe handles the rest
```
**Depth-dependent behavior:**
| Depth | Phase 2 behavior |
|---|---|
| `--quick` | Skip Phase 2 entirely (speed matters) |
| default | Run Phase 2 with caps: 3 handles, 3 subreddits, 3 results each |
| `--deep` | Run Phase 2 with caps: 5 handles, 5 subreddits, 5 results each |
### Feature 5: Thread Expansion for High-Engagement Posts (stretch goal)
**File: modify `scripts/lib/bird_x.py`**
For X posts with very high engagement (top 1-2 by likes), expand the conversation thread:
```python
def expand_thread(tweet_id: str) -> list:
"""Fetch full thread for a high-engagement tweet."""
cmd = ["bird", "thread", tweet_id, "--json"]
# ... parse thread, extract key replies
```
This surfaces the discussion around viral posts — often more valuable than the original tweet. Only trigger for posts with 100+ likes to avoid noise.
## Technical Considerations
### Performance
- Phase 2 adds 2-5 seconds for Bird (5 subprocess calls) and 3-8 seconds for Reddit subreddit search (1 API call)
- On `--quick` mode, Phase 2 is skipped entirely — zero performance impact
- Phase 2 runs AFTER Phase 1, not in parallel with it (needs Phase 1 results for entity extraction)
### Cost
- Reddit subreddit search: 1 additional OpenAI API call (~$0.005) OR free via `.json` endpoint
- X handle search via Bird: Free (uses your X login)
- X handle search via xAI (fallback): 1 additional API call (~$0.005)
- Thread expansion: Free via Bird
### No New Dependencies
- Entity extraction is string parsing — no NLP libraries needed
- Reddit `.json` endpoint uses existing `http.py` transport
- Bird CLI calls use existing subprocess pattern from `bird_x.py`
### Backward Compatibility
- Phase 2 is purely additive — all existing behavior unchanged
- If Phase 2 finds nothing, output is identical to current
- Deduplication handles any overlap between Phase 1 and Phase 2
## Acceptance Criteria
- [x] Entity extraction module correctly parses handles, hashtags, and subreddits from search results
- [x] Supplemental X searches via Bird find additional content from key handles
- [x] Supplemental Reddit searches find content in discovered subreddits
- [x] Phase 2 results are properly merged and deduped with Phase 1
- [x] `--quick` mode skips Phase 2 entirely
- [x] `--deep` mode searches more handles/subreddits with higher per-query limits
- [x] No performance regression on `--quick` mode
- [ ] Default mode adds < 10 seconds of latency
- [x] Works with Bird-only, xAI-only, and both-available configurations
- [x] Output format unchanged (Phase 2 results look identical to Phase 1 results)
## Implementation Order
1. `scripts/lib/entity_extract.py` — Entity extraction from results (new file)
2. `scripts/lib/bird_x.py` — Add `search_handles()` function
3. `scripts/lib/openai_reddit.py` — Add `search_subreddits()` function
4. `scripts/last30days.py` — Orchestration: Phase 2 after Phase 1
5. Test with real queries: "Open Claw", "Nano Banana Pro", "kanye west"
6. (Stretch) Thread expansion for high-engagement posts
## Research Sources
### Reddit Search Techniques
- [reddit-research-mcp](https://github.com/king-of-the-grackles/reddit-research-mcp) — MCP server with semantic subreddit discovery via 20K+ pre-indexed communities
- [anvaka/sayit](https://github.com/anvaka/sayit) — Subreddit similarity graph via collaborative filtering (Jaccard similarity on user overlap)
- [YARS](https://github.com/datavorous/yars) — No-API-key Reddit scraper using `.json` endpoint trick
- Reddit's free JSON search endpoint: `reddit.com/r/{sub}/search/.json?q=QUERY&restrict_sr=on` — no auth needed
- Reddit search operators: `subreddit:`, `title:`, `selftext:`, `author:`, `flair:` (Lucene-style)
### X/Twitter Search Techniques
- [igorbrigadir/twitter-advanced-search](https://github.com/igorbrigadir/twitter-advanced-search) — Canonical reference of all X search operators
- Bird CLI supports all X operators: `from:`, `to:`, `conversation_id:`, `min_retweets:`, `#hashtag`, `list:`
- xAI x_search `allowed_x_handles` parameter — filter to max 10 specific handles
- xAI x_search semantic search — finds conceptually related content without exact keyword matches
- [Bellingcat OSINT Toolkit](https://bellingcat.gitbook.io/toolkit) — Multi-pass handle discovery methodology
### Key Insight
The biggest gap in the current implementation is that **neither X nor Reddit search does entity extraction from initial results to inform follow-up queries.** Every tool/project researched that achieves better-than-basic results does some form of "discover entities → search entities" two-pass strategy.
## What We're NOT Doing
- **Not adding new API dependencies** — everything uses existing OpenAI, xAI, or Bird infrastructure
- **Not adding NLP/ML libraries** — entity extraction is simple string parsing
- **Not changing the output format** — Phase 2 results merge seamlessly
- **Not hardcoding any entities** — all discovery is dynamic from search results
- **Not slowing down `--quick` mode** — Phase 2 is skipped entirely
- **Not replacing the current search** — Phase 2 supplements Phase 1

# fix: X search query too restrictive, returns 0 results on popular topics
## Problem
`/last30days vibe motion best prompt techniques` returned **0 X posts** despite Vibe Motion being actively discussed on X (screenshots show posts from @Godid242, @KamilStanuch, @ColdStartTheory, @higgsfield_ai).
Root cause: `_extract_core_subject()` in `bird_x.py` produces overly specific queries. Bird/X search uses **literal keyword AND matching** — ALL words must appear in a tweet. The function kept 4 keywords (`vibe motion prompt techniques`) when only 2 (`vibe motion`) were needed.
## Three Bugs Found
### Bug 1: Multi-word noise phrases never match
```python
# Current code (bird_x.py:24-38)
noise = ['best', ..., 'what are', 'what is', 'how to', 'tips for', ...]
words = topic.lower().split() # splits into individual words
result = [w for w in words if w not in noise] # compares "what" against "what are" → no match!
```
`"what are people saying about DeepSeek R1"` → keeps `"what are people saying"`**LOSES THE ENTIRE TOPIC**.
The multi-word entries (`"what are"`, `"how to"`, `"tips for"`, `"use cases"`) are dead code. They never match because `.split()` creates individual words but the noise list has multi-word strings.
### Bug 2: Missing meta/research words
The noise list has `"prompting"` but not `"prompt"`, `"prompts"`, `"techniques"`, `"tips"`, `"tricks"`, `"methods"`, etc.
- `"vibe motion best prompt techniques"``"vibe motion prompt techniques"` (4 words, should be 2)
- `"nano banana pro prompts for gemini"``"nano banana pro prompts"` (4 words, should be 3)
### Bug 3: No retry on 0 results
Reddit has multi-stage retry: full query → simplified core → subreddit fallback. X search runs once and accepts whatever comes back, even 0 results.
## Proposed Fix
All changes in `scripts/lib/bird_x.py`.
### Step 1: Fix `_extract_core_subject()` — strip phrases first, then words
```python
def _extract_core_subject(topic: str) -> str:
"""Extract core subject from verbose query for X search."""
text = topic.lower()
# Phase 1: Strip multi-word prefixes/suffixes (order matters - longest first)
prefixes = ['what are the best', 'what is the best', 'what are', 'what is',
'how to', 'how do i', 'tips for', 'best practices for']
for p in prefixes:
if text.startswith(p):
text = text[len(p):].strip()
break
suffixes = ['best practices', 'use cases', 'prompt techniques',
'prompting techniques']
for s in suffixes:
if text.endswith(s):
text = text[:-len(s)].strip()
break
# Phase 2: Split and filter individual noise words
noise = {'best', 'top', 'practices', 'features', 'killer', 'guide',
'tutorial', 'recommendations', 'advice', 'prompting', 'prompt',
'prompts', 'techniques', 'tips', 'tricks', 'methods',
'strategies', 'review', 'reviews', 'uses', 'usecases',
'examples', 'using', 'for', 'with', 'the', 'of', 'in', 'on',
'about', 'latest', 'new', 'news', 'update', 'updates',
'good', 'great', 'awesome', 'and', 'or', 'a', 'an', 'is',
'are', 'was', 'were', 'people', 'saying', 'think', 'said'}
words = text.split()
result = [w for w in words if w not in noise]
return ' '.join(result[:3]) or topic # Max 3 words (was 4)
```
**Expected results after fix:**
| Input | Before | After |
|-------|--------|-------|
| `vibe motion best prompt techniques` | `vibe motion prompt techniques` | `vibe motion` |
| `what are people saying about DeepSeek R1` | `what are people saying` | `deepseek r1` |
| `nano banana pro prompts for gemini` | `nano banana pro prompts` | `nano banana pro` |
| `open claw best uses` | `open claw uses` | `open claw` |
| `best claude code skills` | `claude code skills` | `claude code skills` |
| `kanye west` | `kanye west` | `kanye west` |
### Step 2: Add retry with simplified query on 0 results
In `search_x()`, after the initial search, if 0 items returned, retry with just the first 2 words of the core subject:
```python
def search_x(topic, from_date, to_date, depth="default"):
count = DEPTH_CONFIG.get(depth, DEPTH_CONFIG["default"])
core_topic = _extract_core_subject(topic)
query = f"{core_topic} since:{from_date}"
# ... existing Bird search code ...
items = parse_bird_response(response)
# Retry with fewer keywords if 0 results
if not items and len(core_topic.split()) > 2:
shorter = ' '.join(core_topic.split()[:2])
_log(f"0 results for '{core_topic}', retrying with '{shorter}'")
query = f"{shorter} since:{from_date}"
# ... retry Bird search ...
items = parse_bird_response(retry_response)
return response # or merged response
```
### Step 3 (optional): Cross-pollinate Reddit entities into X Phase 2
When X Phase 1 returns 0 results but Reddit found threads, extract brand/product names from Reddit thread titles and use them as X search fallback queries. This is lower priority — Steps 1-2 should fix most cases.
## Acceptance Criteria
- [x] `vibe motion best prompt techniques` returns >0 X posts (12 posts found)
- [x] `what are people saying about DeepSeek R1` produces query containing "deepseek r1" not "what are people saying"
- [x] No regressions on working queries (`kanye west`, `claude code skills`, `open claw`)
- [x] Retry fires when initial query returns 0, logged to stderr
- [x] `openai_reddit.py`'s `_extract_core_subject()` NOT changed (Reddit uses semantic search, not literal matching — the current function works fine there)
## Files to Change
- `scripts/lib/bird_x.py``_extract_core_subject()` rewrite + retry logic in `search_x()`
- `scripts/lib/bird_x.py``search_handles()` benefits automatically (calls `_extract_core_subject()`)
## Testing
```bash
# Mock mode (quick syntax check)
python3 scripts/last30days.py "vibe motion best prompt techniques" --mock --emit=compact 2>&1

# feat: Add Codex CLI Compatibility
## Overview
Make /last30days work as a Codex CLI skill alongside Claude Code. Both platforms use `SKILL.md` with YAML frontmatter — the gap is small but the details matter. Inspired by PR #24 (el-analista) and PR #5 (jblwilliams) on the public repo, applied to the v2.1 codebase.
## Research Findings
### How Codex Skills Work (from [official docs](https://developers.openai.com/codex/skills))
**Format:** Identical to Claude Code — `SKILL.md` with YAML frontmatter + Markdown body.
**Required frontmatter:** Only `name` and `description`. The official skill-creator guidance says "Do not include any other fields in YAML frontmatter." This is stricter than Claude Code which allows `version`, `allowed-tools`, `argument-hint`, etc.
**Discovery:** Codex uses "progressive disclosure" — it reads ONLY the `description` field to decide whether to invoke a skill. The body loads only after triggering. This means the description must be comprehensive about when to use/not use the skill.
**Invocation:** Users invoke with `$skill-name` or `/skills` menu. Codex can also implicitly match based on the description (configurable via `agents/openai.yaml`).
**Installation paths** (scanned in order):
| Scope | Path |
|-------|------|
| Folder | `$CWD/.agents/skills/` |
| Repo | `$REPO_ROOT/.agents/skills/` |
| User | `$HOME/.agents/skills/` |
| Admin | `/etc/codex/skills/` |
| System | Bundled |
Note: Some docs also mention `~/.codex/skills/` as an alias for `$HOME/.agents/skills/`. Both should be checked.
**`agents/openai.yaml`** (optional sidecar):
```yaml
interface:
display_name: "User-facing name"
short_description: "Brief description"
default_prompt: "Surrounding prompt template"
brand_color: "#hex"
policy:
allow_implicit_invocation: true
dependencies:
tools:
- type: "mcp"
value: "toolName"
```
**Size guidance:** Keep SKILL.md under 500 lines. Use `references/` directory for detailed docs that load on demand.
**Scripts:** Put executable code in `scripts/`. These can run without being loaded into context — good for our Python research engine.
### What Real Codex Skills Look Like (from [openai/skills catalog](https://github.com/openai/skills))
**openai-docs skill** — Uses MCP tools (`mcp__openaiDeveloperDocs__search_openai_docs`). Has a workflow section, fallback instructions if MCP isn't set up, and quality rules. Clean and focused.
**pdf skill** — Runs scripts (`pdftoppm`, `reportlab`), has file conventions (`tmp/pdfs/`, `output/pdf/`), specifies dependencies. Good example of a skill that shells out to tools like we do.
**skill-creator** — The meta-skill. Emphasizes "the context window is a public good" and treating the LLM as "already very smart — only add information it genuinely lacks." Has 6 creation steps, validation scripts, and naming conventions.
### Key Insight: Frontmatter Compatibility Problem
Claude Code SKILL.md uses:
```yaml
name: last30days
version: "2.1"
description: Research a topic...
argument-hint: 'nano banana pro prompts...'
allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write, AskUserQuestion, WebSearch
```
Codex wants only `name` and `description`. The question: does Codex error on unknown frontmatter fields, or ignore them?
**Safe answer:** Codex uses standard YAML parsing and likely ignores unknown keys. But the official guidance says "Do not include any other fields" — meaning it's untested territory and could break in future Codex updates.
**Our approach:** Keep one SKILL.md with Claude-specific fields. If Codex chokes, we add a thin wrapper. This is pragmatic — maintaining two SKILL.md files defeats the purpose of cross-platform compatibility.
### PR #24 Analysis (el-analista)
Good ideas to incorporate:
- Portable script path resolution (repo → Claude → Codex → agents)
- `agents/openai.yaml` for Codex discovery
- Platform-neutral output text ("assistant" instead of "Claude")
- Sandbox-friendly cache/output dir fallbacks with env var overrides
- Last-chance retry for Bird search (better query noise stripping)
Not applicable to v2.1:
- Based on v2.0 codebase — doesn't have YouTube, vendored Bird, or pipeline changes
- We'll cherry-pick the ideas, not the code
### PR #5 Analysis (jblwilliams)
Not needed:
- Codex JWT auth — our OpenAI API calls work natively in Codex already
- SSE response handling — we don't stream responses
- The 403 enrichment issues they hit are specific to Codex-hosted auth, not our use case
## Proposed Solution
Five changes, all additive — zero impact on existing Claude Code behavior:
### 1. Add `agents/openai.yaml` for Codex discovery
```yaml
interface:
display_name: "Last 30 Days"
short_description: "Research any topic across Reddit, X, YouTube, and the web from the last 30 days. Returns synthesized expert answers and copy-paste prompts."
default_prompt: "Research this topic from the last 30 days across Reddit, X, YouTube, and web. Synthesize what people are actually saying, upvoting, and sharing right now."
brand_color: "#FF6B35"
policy:
allow_implicit_invocation: true
```
### 2. Make SKILL.md script path portable
Replace the hardcoded Claude path with a lookup that checks multiple install locations:
```bash
# Find the skill root
for dir in \
"." \
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-}" \
"$HOME/.claude/skills/last30days" \
"$HOME/.agents/skills/last30days" \
"$HOME/.codex/skills/last30days"; do
[ -n "$dir" ] && [ -f "$dir/scripts/last30days.py" ] && SKILL_ROOT="$dir" && break
done
if [ -z "${SKILL_ROOT:-}" ]; then
echo "ERROR: Could not find scripts/last30days.py" >&2
exit 1
fi
python3 "${SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/last30days.py" "$ARGUMENTS" --emit=compact 2>&1
```
### 3. Platform-neutral Python output text
Replace "Claude" with "assistant" in LLM-facing output strings only. Human-facing docs (README, etc.) stay as-is.
Files:
- `scripts/last30days.py` — web search marker text (~3 lines)
- `scripts/lib/render.py` — docstrings + web-only banner (~4 lines)
- `scripts/lib/http.py` — User-Agent string (~1 line)
### 4. Sandbox-friendly cache/output dirs
Codex runs sandboxed. Add env var overrides + tempdir fallback (from PR #24):
**`scripts/lib/cache.py`:**
- Check `LAST30DAYS_CACHE_DIR` env var
- Catch `PermissionError`, fall back to `tempfile.gettempdir()/last30days/cache`
**`scripts/lib/render.py`:**
- Check `LAST30DAYS_OUTPUT_DIR` env var
- Catch `PermissionError`, fall back to `tempfile.gettempdir()/last30days/out`
### 5. README + installation docs
Add a "Codex Compatibility" section to README:
```markdown
## Codex Compatibility
This skill works in both Claude Code and OpenAI Codex CLI.
**Claude Code:** `git clone` into `~/.claude/skills/last30days`
**Codex CLI:** `git clone` into `~/.agents/skills/last30days`
Both use the same SKILL.md, same Python engine, same scripts.
The `agents/openai.yaml` provides Codex-specific discovery metadata.
```
## What We're NOT Doing
- **Separate SKILL.md for Codex** — One file, both platforms. Claude-specific frontmatter fields (`allowed-tools`, `version`, `argument-hint`) are likely ignored by Codex's YAML parser. If this breaks, we'll address it then.
- **Codex JWT auth (PR #5)** — Our OpenAI Responses API calls work natively in Codex. No special handling needed.
- **SSE streaming (PR #5)** — Not our use case.
- **Codex-specific tool names in SKILL.md** — Both LLMs understand "do a web search" and "run this bash command." The instructions work cross-platform as-is.
- **Publishing to openai/skills catalog** — Out of scope for now. Users install via git clone.
## Acceptance Criteria
- [x] `agents/openai.yaml` exists with proper `interface` and `policy` sections
- [x] SKILL.md uses portable path resolution (repo checkout, `~/.claude/skills/`, `~/.agents/skills/`, `~/.codex/skills/`)
- [x] Python scripts use "assistant" instead of "Claude" in LLM-facing output (~8 string replacements)
- [x] Cache dir falls back gracefully in sandboxed environments (`LAST30DAYS_CACHE_DIR` env var + `PermissionError` catch)
- [x] Output dir falls back gracefully in sandboxed environments (`LAST30DAYS_OUTPUT_DIR` env var + `PermissionError` catch)
- [x] Existing Claude Code behavior is unchanged (zero regressions)
- [x] README documents Codex installation path (`~/.agents/skills/last30days`)
- [x] `python3 scripts/last30days.py "test topic" --mock --emit=compact` still works
## Files to Create/Modify
### New Files
- `agents/openai.yaml` — Codex discovery metadata (~10 lines)
### Modified Files
- `SKILL.md` — Portable script path resolution (~15 lines changed)
- `README.md` — Add "Codex Compatibility" section (~15 lines)
- `scripts/last30days.py` — "Claude" → "assistant" in output strings (~3 lines)
- `scripts/lib/render.py` — "Claude" → "assistant" + output dir fallback (~15 lines)
- `scripts/lib/cache.py` — Cache dir env override + fallback (~12 lines)
- `scripts/lib/http.py` — User-Agent string (~1 line)
### Total scope: ~70 lines changed across 7 files. Small, additive, low risk.
## Dependencies & Risks
| Risk | Likelihood | Mitigation |
|------|-----------|------------|
| Codex rejects unknown YAML frontmatter (`allowed-tools`, etc.) | Low-Medium | Standard YAML parsers ignore unknown keys. If it breaks, strip Claude-specific fields and use `agents/openai.yaml` for metadata. |
| Codex sandbox blocks Node.js (vendored Bird) | Medium | Bird failure already falls back to xAI API. If no xAI key, X search skipped gracefully. |
| yt-dlp not in Codex sandbox PATH | Medium | YouTube already degrades gracefully — "yt-dlp not installed, skipping YouTube." |
| Codex sandbox blocks `~/.cache/` writes | Medium | Env var override + tempdir fallback handles this. (Proven approach from PR #24) |
| Codex changes skill discovery paths | Low | We check 5 paths. Easy to add more. |
| Codex description matching triggers on wrong queries | Low | Write description with clear "use when" / "do not use when" boundaries per official guidance. |
