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).

This contribution was developed with AI assistance (Codex + Claude Code).

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.

## v3 is the intelligent search release
v3 is a ground-up engine rewrite by [@j-sperling](https://github.com/j-sperling). The old engine searched keywords. The new engine understands your topic first, then searches the right people and communities.
Type "OpenClaw" and v3 resolves @steipete, r/openclaw, r/ClaudeCode, and the right YouTube channels and TikTok hashtags before a single API call fires. Type "Peter Steinberger" and it resolves his X handle and GitHub profile, switches to person mode, and shows what he shipped this month at 85% merge rate across 22 PRs. None of that was on Google.
## Headline features
### Intelligent pre-research
The killer feature. A new Python pre-research brain resolves X handles, GitHub repos, subreddits, TikTok hashtags, and YouTube channels before searching. Bidirectional: person to company, product to founder, name to GitHub profile. The right subreddits, the right handles, the right hashtags, all resolved before a single API call.
### Best Takes
A second LLM judge scores every result for humor, wit, and virality alongside relevance. Every brief now ends with a Best Takes section surfacing the cleverest one-liners and most viral quotes. The Reddit and X people are funny, and the old engine buried their best stuff.
### Cross-source cluster merging
When the same story hits Reddit, X, and YouTube, v3 merges them into one cluster instead of three duplicates. Entity-based overlap detection catches matches even when the titles use different words.
### Single-pass comparisons
"X vs Y" used to run three serial passes (12+ minutes). v3 runs one pass with entity-aware subqueries for both sides at once. Same depth, 3 minutes.
### GitHub person-mode and project-mode
When the topic is a person, the engine switches from keyword search to author-scoped queries. PR velocity, top repos by stars, release notes for what shipped this month, woven into the narrative alongside X posts and Reddit threads.
When the topic is a project, it pulls live star counts, READMEs, releases, and top issues from the GitHub API. No stale blog posts.
### ELI5 mode
Say "eli5 on" after any research run. The synthesis rewrites in plain language. No jargon. Same data, same sources, same citations, just clearer. Say "eli5 off" to go back.
### 13+ sources
v3 adds Threads, Pinterest, Perplexity, Bluesky, and Parallel AI grounding to the existing Reddit, X, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Hacker News, Polymarket, GitHub, and Web lineup. Perplexity Deep Research (`--deep-research`) gives you 50+ citation reports for serious investigation.
### Per-author cap and entity disambiguation
Max 3 items per author prevents single-voice dominance. Synthesis trusts resolved handles over fuzzy keyword matches.
## Install
Claude Code:
```
/plugin marketplace add mvanhorn/last30days-skill
```
OpenClaw:
```
clawhub install last30days-official
```
OpenAI Codex CLI: run `codex` from a checkout of this repo and v3's skill at `.agents/skills/last30days/SKILL.md` will be discovered automatically. Or copy `SKILL.md` to `~/.agents/skills/last30days/SKILL.md` for a global install.
Zero config. Reddit, Hacker News, Polymarket, and GitHub work immediately. Run it once and the setup wizard unlocks X, YouTube, TikTok, and more in 30 seconds.

## What's New in v2.9.1 Contributors who shaped the release itself:
**Auto-save to ~/Documents/Last30Days/.** Every run now saves the complete research briefing - synthesis, stats, and follow-up suggestions - as a topic-named `.md` file to your Documents folder. Build a personal research library without lifting a finger. Inspired by [@devin_explores](https://x.com/devin_explores) who was already doing this manually. - @Jah-yee (#153) surfaced the need for a real Codex CLI integration, which shipped in #219
- @Cody-Coyote (#204) reported the marketplace validation bug that needed fixing before v3 could ship cleanly
## Three Headline Features in v2.9 - @dannyshmueli pushed for v3 and Codex family support publicly on X
**1. ScrapeCreators Reddit as default.** One `SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY` now covers Reddit, TikTok, and Instagram - three sources, one key. No more `OPENAI_API_KEY` required for Reddit search. Faster, more reliable, and simpler to configure.
**2. Smart subreddit discovery.** Relevance-weighted scoring replaces pure frequency count. Each candidate subreddit is scored by `frequency x recency x topic-word match`, and a `UTILITY_SUBS` blocklist filters noise subs like r/tipofmytongue. Search "Claude Code skills" and get r/ClaudeAI, r/ClaudeCode, r/openclaw - not generic programming subs.
**3. Top comments elevated.** The best comment on each Reddit thread now carries a 10% weight in engagement scoring and displays prominently with upvote counts. Reddit's value is in the comments - now the skill surfaces them.
Plus: **Instagram Reels** (v2.8), **Polymarket prediction markets** (v2.5), **YouTube transcripts** (v2.1), **bundled X search** - no external CLI needed.
## Beta Test Results (v2.9)
