fix: add commands/last30days.md and remove skills/last30days-nux duplicate (#267 )

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 workaround is obsolete since v3.0.4 dropped the 'skills' key entirely, matching ecosystem standard).

+## [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.

-# Fix skill upload 200-file limit + packaging hygiene (public repo)
-
-## Overview
-
-claude.ai's "Upload skill" UI rejects zips with more than 200 files. Zipping the public `mvanhorn/last30days-skill` repo produces 406 files, so the upload fails outright (evidence: Trevin's 2026-04-14 report). Root cause is an accidentally committed npm package under `vendor/` (215 files of dead weight from PR #48) plus the absence of a user-facing packaging path that matches Anthropic's canonical `.skill` format.
-
-Goal: let any user produce a compliant `last30days.skill` file in one command, matching Anthropic's skill-creator packaging contract, while also removing genuine dead weight from the repo (unused vendor, legacy plans).
-
-## Problem Frame
-
- Trevin tried to upload the public repo as a Claude Skill and hit the 200-file limit
- 215 of 406 files are `vendor/package/` - an extracted `steipete-bird-0.8.0.tgz` that no code imports
- The real runtime X client lives at `scripts/lib/vendor/bird-search/` (15 files, referenced by `scripts/lib/bird_x.py:5` and `tests/test_bird_x.py:133`)
- `.clawhubignore` is ClawHub-specific and does not affect a hand-rolled zip upload
- Users have no documented path to produce a compliant upload zip
- Legacy top-level `plans/` folder holds pre-`docs/plans/` planning artifacts (confirmed waste by Matt, 2026-04-14 chat)
-
-## Requirements Trace
-
- R1. After this plan lands, the produced upload zip is =200 files
- R2. The X/bird-search runtime still works - no regression in `tests/test_bird_x.py`
- R3. A contributor following README instructions can produce a Claude-Skill-upload-compatible `.skill` file in one command
- R4. Re-introduction of a root `vendor/` directory is prevented via `.gitignore`
- R5. No runtime behavior changes for existing skill consumers (Claude Code plugin, ClawHub, Gemini)
- R6. Produced zip matches Anthropic's canonical skill-folder layout: top-level directory named exactly `last30days` containing `SKILL.md` at its root, with YAML frontmatter `name: last30days`
- R7. Root `SKILL.md` frontmatter passes Anthropic's documented limits: `name` =64 chars (currently 10), `description` =200 chars (currently 228, needs trimming)
- R8. Produced zip contains exactly one `SKILL.md` (at `last30days/SKILL.md`) - no conflicting second skill spec, no symlinks that the uploader may reject or break
- R9. No runtime import reaches an excluded path (proven by import-graph audit, not just asserted)
-
-## Scope Boundaries
-
-Non-goals:
- Not touching the private repo or ClawHub publish flow (those have their own strip script)
- Not resolving the adjacent open issues (#239 plugin loader path-escape, #236 OpenClaw paths, #231 security scan, #190 version drift, #184 Gemini install) - each deserves its own plan
- Not redesigning the skill into self-contained subfolders or splitting scripts into a separate package
- Not adding CI enforcement of the 200-file cap (possible follow-up)
-
-## Context and Research
-
-### Anthropic's canonical skill-upload contract
-
-Sourced from Anthropic's skill-creator repo (`anthropics/skills/skills/skill-creator/scripts/package_skill.py`) and help-center docs:
-
-1. **Output format:** a `.skill` file, which is a standard zip with the `.skill` extension.
-2. **Top-level entry in the zip must be a single directory** whose name matches `name:` in the skill's YAML frontmatter. Anthropic's packager uses `arcname = file_path.relative_to(skill_path.parent)`, so the zip always contains `<skill_name>/...`.
-3. **That directory must contain `SKILL.md`** at its root (the packager explicitly validates this).
-4. **Required YAML frontmatter:** `name` (=64 chars, lowercase + hyphens) and `description` (=200 chars). Our root SKILL.md already satisfies both.
-5. **Canonical exclusions** applied by Anthropic's packager:
-   - Directories: `__pycache__`, `node_modules`
-   - Root-only: `evals/`
-   - File globs: `*.pyc`
-   - Files: `.DS_Store`
-6. **Empirical limit:** the upload UI rejects =200 files (screenshot 2026-04-14). Not documented, but confirmed.
-7. **Per-file size cap** is not publicly documented; general claude.ai uploads cap at 30MB per file. Conservative target: keep any single file under 10MB.
-
-### Relevant code and patterns in this repo
-
- `SKILL.md` (root, 1382 lines, 80KB) - `name: last30days`, `user-invocable: true`. This is the skill.
- `skills/last30days/SKILL.md` (230 lines) - `name: last30days-v3-spec`, `user-invocable: false`. Internal architecture spec, separate skill name - not the upload target.
- `vendor/package/` - accidental commit from PR #48, 215 files, zero importers.
- `vendor/steipete-bird-0.8.0.tgz` - source tarball, also unused at runtime.
- `scripts/lib/vendor/bird-search/` - the ACTUAL vendored bird-search client (15 files). Keep.
- `plans/` (top-level, 2 files: `feat-add-websearch-source.md`, `fix-strict-date-filtering.md`) - legacy, pre-`docs/plans/` convention. Matt confirmed delete.
- `scripts/sync.sh` - deploys skill to `~/.claude`, `~/.agents`, `~/.codex`. Reference for runtime-required files.
- `.clawhubignore` - existing exclude list for the ClawHub path. Not used here, but good cross-reference for what is runtime-irrelevant.
- `.gitignore` - current dev excludes (`.venv/`, `__pycache__/`, `.DS_Store`, etc).
-
-### Institutional learnings
-
- Private repo has `scripts/clawhub-publish.sh` + `scripts/strip_for_openclaw.py` that build a staging dir with only OpenClaw-safe files. Not needed for this public-path upload; `git archive` with `--prefix` is sufficient and dependency-free.
- PR #48 introduced `vendor/package/` unintentionally. No code imports from it.
-
-### File count math (verified via dry run)
-
-| Strategy | File count | Under cap? |
-|---|---|---|
-| Current repo, zip as-is | 406 | No |
-| After `vendor/` deleted | 191 | Yes (thin margin) |
-| After `vendor/` + `plans/` deleted, no further excludes | 189 | Yes |
-| With full planned excludes (Anthropic canonical + tests/docs/fixtures/assets/dev manifests/nested skill dirs) | 81 | Comfortable headroom |
-
-Dry run run on 2026-04-14 against the current working tree. Simulated the proposed `.gitattributes` with a `find` filter matching the intended exclude list. Result: 81 files, 868KB uncompressed. Actual `git archive` output may differ slightly (by 1-2 files) but will land well under 200.
-
-### Runtime import audit (proves core experience unchanged)
-
-Grepped all `import`/`from` statements in `scripts/**/*.py`. Non-stdlib imports resolve to only:
- `lib.*` (internal package at `scripts/lib/`)
- `store` (internal module at `scripts/store.py`)
- `scripts.*` (internal)
-
-No runtime import reaches `tests/`, `docs/`, `fixtures/`, `vendor/` (root), `plans/`, `assets/`, `.agents/`, `.codex-plugin/`, `.hermes-plugin/`, or any other excluded path. The shipped `.skill` file contains everything the runtime needs and nothing it does not.
-
-### Symlink and multi-SKILL.md audit
-
-The repo contains one symlink: `skills/last30days-nux/SKILL.md -> ../../SKILL.md`. Three SKILL.md files in total:
- `SKILL.md` (root, `name: last30days`, `user-invocable: true`) - the actual skill
- `skills/last30days/SKILL.md` (`name: last30days-v3-spec`, `user-invocable: false`) - internal architecture doc
- `skills/last30days-nux/SKILL.md` (symlink to root) - nux variant reference
-
-Shipping all three inside one zip creates two rejection risks:
-1. Uploader sees multiple `SKILL.md` with conflicting `name:` values and refuses or misbinds
-2. `git archive` stores the symlink as a symlink entry; the uploader may reject symlinked entries on principle
-
-Both risks disappear by excluding `skills/` entirely from the zip. The two internal skill definitions are not needed for claude.ai skill execution - they serve the repo as documentation / Claude Code plugin layout, not the direct upload path.
-

-
-## Key Technical Decisions
-
- **Delete `vendor/` outright** rather than gitignore-and-leave. Pure dead weight. Rationale: the real vendored client is at `scripts/lib/vendor/bird-search/`, root `vendor/` has zero importers; keeping it invites re-upload.
- **Delete top-level `plans/`** (Matt confirmed). Rationale: superseded by `docs/plans/`. Moving content into `docs/plans/` if any is still relevant; otherwise just delete.
- **Produce a `.skill` file (not a plain `.zip`)** via `git archive --format=zip --prefix=last30days/ -o dist/last30days.skill HEAD`. Rationale: matches Anthropic's canonical contract - zip extension is cosmetic, but the `.skill` affordance is what the upload UI expects.
- **Use `git archive` + `.gitattributes export-ignore`** rather than a Python packager. Rationale: no Python dependency at build time, honors git's declarative exclude model, reusable by anyone running `git archive` directly.
- **Mirror Anthropic's canonical exclusions in `.gitattributes`** (`__pycache__`, `node_modules`, `*.pyc`, `.DS_Store`, `evals/`) alongside our repo-specific excludes. Rationale: future-proof if a contributor adds node deps; keeps us aligned with the Anthropic baseline.
- **Exclude `skills/` from the upload zip** (covers `skills/last30days/SKILL.md` and `skills/last30days-nux/SKILL.md`). Rationale: shipping multiple SKILL.md files with different `name:` values is a likely uploader-rejection cause, and the symlink at `skills/last30days-nux/SKILL.md` is an independent rejection risk. Repo contents stay intact - Claude Code plugin and GitHub viewers still see the directory.
- **Keep `.clawhubignore` as-is** - it serves the ClawHub publish path separately. Do not merge the two lists; different consumers, different exclusions.
- **Prevent regression with a `/vendor/` entry in `.gitignore`** (leading slash, so `scripts/lib/vendor/` is unaffected).
- **Do not address #239 `"skills": ["./"]` path-escape here.** That is a plugin.json change, not a zip-packaging change. Separate plan.
-
-## Open Questions
-
-### Resolved during planning
-
- Is root `vendor/` used? No. Grep for `vendor/package`, `vendor/steipete`, `from vendor` returns zero hits outside `scripts/lib/vendor/`.
- Is `scripts/lib/vendor/bird-search/` safe? Yes. Referenced by `scripts/lib/bird_x.py:5` and `tests/test_bird_x.py:133`.
- What name does the top-level zip directory need? `last30days` - matches `name: last30days` in the root `SKILL.md` frontmatter.
- Does `skills/last30days/SKILL.md` conflict? No. It declares a different skill name (`last30days-v3-spec`) and is `user-invocable: false`. Not the upload target, and safe to ship inside the zip.
- Is there a documented file-count cap? No. 200 is empirical from the UI error screenshot.
- Should we gate this on a version bump? Yes, 3.0.0 - 3.0.1. Same API, same runtime, smaller and uploadable package.
-
-### Deferred to implementation
-
- Exact `.gitattributes` export-ignore entries may need one tuning pass if `git archive` surfaces a file we forgot. Verification step catches it.
- Whether to delete `SKILL-original.md` from the repo entirely or just export-ignore. Leaning export-ignore to preserve git history context.
- Whether any content in `plans/*.md` is still live reference material. If so, move to `docs/plans/` under new naming convention; if not, delete outright.
-
-## Implementation Units
-
- [ ] **Unit 1: Remove accidental `vendor/` commit**
-
-**Goal:** Delete the root `vendor/` directory and the stray `.tgz`, both unused at runtime.
-
-**Requirements:** R1, R2, R5
-
-**Dependencies:** None
-
-**Files:**
- Delete: `vendor/` (entire tree, 215 files)
- Delete: `vendor/steipete-bird-0.8.0.tgz`
- Modify: `.gitignore` (add `/vendor/` to prevent regression - leading slash to avoid matching `scripts/lib/vendor/`)
-
-**Approach:**
- Single commit: `chore: remove unused root vendor/ directory (215 files from PR #48)`
- Verify `scripts/lib/vendor/bird-search/` is untouched
- Verify no `from vendor` or `vendor/package` references appear in the diff
-
-**Patterns to follow:**
- Commit message style matches recent history
-
-**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: `find . -type f -not -path './.git/*' | wc -l` returns =200 after commit
- Integration: `python -m pytest tests/test_bird_x.py -q` passes - confirms the real vendored client still resolves
- Integration: `bash scripts/sync.sh` completes without error
-
-**Verification:**
- Zero files remain under `vendor/` on `main`
- `tests/test_bird_x.py` still passes
- `.gitignore` now contains `/vendor/`
-
- [ ] **Unit 2: Remove legacy top-level `plans/` directory**
-
-**Goal:** Delete the pre-`docs/plans/` folder (Matt confirmed waste).
-
-**Requirements:** R1, R5
-
-**Dependencies:** None (independent of Unit 1)
-
-**Files:**
- Delete: `plans/feat-add-websearch-source.md`
- Delete: `plans/fix-strict-date-filtering.md`
- Delete: `plans/` (now empty)
-
-**Approach:**
- Skim both files first. If either still reflects real upcoming work, port it to `docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-NNN-<type>-*-plan.md` before deletion. If not, delete.
- Commit: `chore: remove legacy plans/ directory (superseded by docs/plans/)`
-
-**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none - pure housekeeping, no code paths affected
-
-**Verification:**
- `plans/` does not exist on `main`
- Nothing in the repo references `plans/feat-add-websearch-source.md` or `plans/fix-strict-date-filtering.md` (grep to confirm)
-
- [ ] **Unit 3: Declare zip-time excludes via `.gitattributes`**
-
-**Goal:** Use `export-ignore` so `git archive` produces a skill-shaped zip without hand-filtering.
-
-**Requirements:** R1, R3, R6
-
-**Dependencies:** Unit 1, Unit 2
-
-**Files:**
- Create: `.gitattributes`
-
-**Approach:**
- Anthropic canonical exclusions (match `package_skill.py`):
-  - `__pycache__/` export-ignore
-  - `node_modules/` export-ignore
-  - `*.pyc` export-ignore
-  - `.DS_Store` export-ignore
-  - `evals/` export-ignore
- Repo-specific exclusions (dev/docs/build artifacts not needed at runtime):
-  - `tests/` (64 files)
-  - `docs/` (17 files including `docs/test-results/`)
-  - `fixtures/` (7 files)
-  - `assets/` (5 files, 14MB of README media)
-  - `SKILL-original.md` (historical)
-  - `SPEC.md`, `TASKS.md`, `test-run.log`, `CONTRIBUTORS.md`, `HERMES_SETUP.md`, `release-notes.md`, `CHANGELOG.md`
-  - `uv.lock`
-  - `.agents/`, `.codex-plugin/`, `.hermes-plugin/`, `.claude-plugin/` (platform adapters - skill-upload path is platform-agnostic)
-  - `.clawhubignore`, `.gitignore`, `.gitattributes`
-  - `skills/` (avoid second SKILL.md with conflicting `name:`; also drops the symlink at `skills/last30days-nux/SKILL.md`)
- Keep in archive: `scripts/` (runtime), root `SKILL.md`, `README.md`, `LICENSE`, `pyproject.toml`, `CLAUDE.md`, `gemini-extension.json`, `agents/`, `hooks/`
-
-**Technical design:** *(directional guidance, not implementation spec)*
-
-```gitattributes
-# Anthropic canonical skill-packaging excludes
-__pycache__/ export-ignore
-node_modules/ export-ignore
-*.pyc export-ignore
-.DS_Store export-ignore
-evals/ export-ignore
-
-# Repo-specific: tests + docs + media (not runtime)
-tests/ export-ignore
-docs/ export-ignore
-fixtures/ export-ignore
-assets/ export-ignore
-
-# Repo-specific: historical + dev manifests
-SKILL-original.md export-ignore
-SPEC.md export-ignore
-...
-```
-
-**Patterns to follow:**
- `.gitattributes` export-ignore syntax per [git docs](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes#_creating_an_archive)
-
-**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: `git archive --format=zip HEAD | zipinfo -1 - | wc -l` returns =200
- Happy path: zip contains `SKILL.md`, `scripts/last30days.py`, `scripts/lib/bird_x.py`, `scripts/lib/vendor/bird-search/lib/cookies.js`
- Happy path: zip contains exactly one `SKILL.md` entry at the top level (not multiple, not a symlink)
- Edge case: zip does NOT contain `tests/`, `docs/`, `assets/*.jpeg`, `*.mp3`, `skills/`
- Edge case: no symlink entries in the zip (`unzip -l` lines starting with `l`)
- Edge case: zip size stays under ~2MB (if over 5MB an unintended large file slipped through)
-
-**Verification:**
- Running `git archive --format=zip --output=/tmp/test.zip HEAD && unzip -l /tmp/test.zip | tail -1` reports =200 files and a sane byte count
-
- [ ] **Unit 4: Add `scripts/build-skill.sh` user-facing builder**
-
-**Goal:** One-command path to produce a Claude-upload-compatible `.skill` file.
-
-**Requirements:** R3, R6
-
-**Dependencies:** Unit 3
-
-**Files:**
- Create: `scripts/build-skill.sh`
- Modify: `.gitignore` (add `/dist/` for build artifact)
-
-**Approach:**
- Bash, executable, `set -euo pipefail`
- `git archive --format=zip --prefix=last30days/ --output=dist/last30days.skill HEAD`
- The `--prefix=last30days/` nests everything under `last30days/` inside the zip, matching Anthropic's arcname contract
- Refuse to build if working tree is dirty (`git diff --quiet && git diff --cached --quiet`)
- Print file count, archive size, and path to paste into the upload UI
- Fail with a clear error if count exceeds 200 (defensive check)
-
-**Technical design:** *(directional guidance, not implementation spec)*
-
-```bash
-#!/usr/bin/env bash
-# build-skill.sh - package repo as a Claude-upload-ready .skill file
-# Usage: bash scripts/build-skill.sh
-set -euo pipefail
-
-if ! git diff --quiet || ! git diff --cached --quiet; then
-  echo "error: working tree is dirty - commit or stash first" >&2; exit 1
-fi
-
-mkdir -p dist
-out="dist/last30days.skill"
-git archive --format=zip --prefix=last30days/ --output="$out" HEAD
-
-count=$(unzip -l "$out" | tail -1 | awk '{print $2}')
-[ "$count" -le 200 ] || { echo "error: $count files in zip, cap is 200" >&2; exit 1; }
-echo "built $out ($count files, $(du -h "$out" | cut -f1))"
-```
-
-**Patterns to follow:**
- Style of `scripts/sync.sh` (bash, top-of-file comment, `set -euo pipefail`)
-
-**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: clean tree, `bash scripts/build-skill.sh` produces `dist/last30days.skill` with =200 files and the top-level entry is `last30days/`
- Happy path: `unzip -p dist/last30days.skill last30days/SKILL.md | head -2` shows `---` (frontmatter start) confirming SKILL.md is at the right location
- Edge case: dirty working tree - script exits non-zero with clear error
- Edge case: idempotent - running twice overwrites cleanly
- Error path: if a future change inflates file count past 200, the defensive `[ "$count" -le 200 ]` check fails and the script refuses to produce a broken output
-
-**Verification:**
- `bash scripts/build-skill.sh && unzip -l dist/last30days.skill | grep "^    0  .* last30days/$"` confirms the prefix directory exists
- `unzip -l dist/last30days.skill | grep "last30days/SKILL.md"` confirms SKILL.md is at the expected path
- `unzip -l dist/last30days.skill | grep -c "SKILL.md"` returns exactly 1
- `unzip -l dist/last30days.skill | awk '{print $NF}' | grep -v "^$" | sort -u | grep "skills/" || true` returns nothing (confirms internal skill dirs excluded)
- Gate: a contributor must run `bash scripts/build-skill.sh` on their branch and attach the produced file to their PR before merging any change that touches `.gitattributes` or exclude-sensitive paths
-
- [ ] **Unit 5: Document the upload path in README**
-
-**Goal:** Users know how to produce an upload `.skill` without reading the source.
-
-**Requirements:** R3
-
-**Dependencies:** Unit 4
-
-**Files:**
- Modify: `README.md` (add a short "Upload as a Claude Skill" subsection under the existing install section)
-
-**Approach:**
- One paragraph plus a single command block: `bash scripts/build-skill.sh`
- Mention the 200-file cap as context so future changes do not bust it
- Point users at the claude.ai skill upload UI (note: link only if a stable URL exists at implementation time, otherwise describe the UI path)
-
-**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none - pure documentation change
-
-**Verification:**
- `grep -n "build-skill" README.md` returns a hit
- Instructions match actual script behavior
-
- [ ] **Unit 6: Trim SKILL.md description to =200 chars**
-
-**Goal:** Make root `SKILL.md` frontmatter pass Anthropic's documented `description` limit.
-
-**Requirements:** R7
-
-**Dependencies:** None (independent of other units)
-
-**Files:**
- Modify: `SKILL.md` (frontmatter `description:` field only)
-
-**Approach:**
- Current description is 228 chars. Cut 28+ chars without losing signal.
- Suggested rewrite (196 chars): `"Multi-query social search with planned queries. Research any topic across Reddit, X, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Hacker News, Polymarket, and the web. Gemini/OpenAI fallback when needed."`
- Confirm the trimmed version still surfaces for the right prompts (smoke test: run `python scripts/last30days.py "test" --emit=compact` and confirm behavior unchanged; description is metadata, not runtime input)
- Update `skills/last30days/SKILL.md` description too if it exceeds 200 chars (check during implementation)
-
-**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: `python3 -c "import re; d=open('SKILL.md').read(); m=re.search(r'^description:\s*\"(.+?)\"', d, re.M); assert len(m.group(1)) <= 200, len(m.group(1))"` passes
-
-**Verification:**
- Description field is =200 chars in root SKILL.md
- Skill still triggers on relevant prompts (manual smoke check)
-
- [ ] **Unit 7: Version bump and changelog**
-
-**Goal:** Ship as 3.0.1 so consumers see the packaging fix.
-
-**Requirements:** R5
-
-**Dependencies:** Units 1-6
-
-**Files:**
- Modify: `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` (3.0.0 - 3.0.1)
- Modify: `SKILL.md` frontmatter version
- Modify: `skills/last30days/SKILL.md` frontmatter version
- Modify: `gemini-extension.json` version (note: #190 flags this as stale at 2.9.5; bumping here partially addresses that but full resolution is out of scope)
- Modify: `CHANGELOG.md`
- Modify: `release-notes.md`
-
-**Approach:**
- Atomic version bump across all manifests
- Changelog entry: "Packaging: `scripts/build-skill.sh` produces a compliant `.skill` file; removed unused root `vendor/` (215 files) and legacy `plans/`; repo file count fits under claude.ai's 200-file upload cap"
-
-**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: `grep -rn "3.0.1" SKILL.md skills/last30days/SKILL.md .claude-plugin/plugin.json gemini-extension.json` returns four consistent hits
- Integration: `bash scripts/sync.sh` completes cleanly
-
-**Verification:**
- All four version declarations read `3.0.1`
- CHANGELOG and release-notes have dated entries
-
-## System-Wide Impact
-
- **Interaction graph:** Skill-runtime import graph is unchanged. Removed code (root `vendor/`, `plans/`) has zero importers.
- **Error propagation:** `build-skill.sh` is a new surface; failure mode is non-zero exit with clear stderr. No runtime error paths touched.
- **State lifecycle risks:** None. `dist/` is gitignored build output.
- **API surface parity:** No change to any user-facing API, CLI flag, config key, or SKILL.md contract.
- **Integration coverage:** `tests/test_bird_x.py` exercises the real vendored client - if it regressed, the test fails. Run it after Unit 1.
- **Unchanged invariants:** `scripts/lib/vendor/bird-search/` stays. `scripts/sync.sh` deploy behavior unchanged. ClawHub publish flow (private repo) untouched. Claude Code plugin install via GitHub URL still works.
-
-## Risks and Dependencies
-
-| Risk | Mitigation |
-|------|------------|
-| Deleting `vendor/` silently breaks something we missed | Run `pytest tests/test_bird_x.py` and `bash scripts/sync.sh` after the delete; grep for `vendor/package` before merging |
-| claude.ai rejects the `.skill` file for a reason other than file count (e.g., frontmatter character, hidden file) | Test-upload the produced artifact against claude.ai once before merging; iterate on `.gitattributes` if needed |
-| `.gitattributes` over-excludes and breaks the runtime skill | Unit 3 verification step explicitly checks runtime paths are present in the produced archive |
-| A future PR re-vendors something at `/vendor/` and busts the 200 cap again | `/vendor/` in `.gitignore` plus the defensive `=200` check in `build-skill.sh` catches it |
-| Version bump collides with in-flight PRs that also bump versions | Coordinate with #229, #217 which touched version strings; check before merging |
-| `skills/last30days/SKILL.md` (internal spec) being shipped inside the zip confuses the claude.ai uploader | Resolved by excluding `skills/` from the zip (Unit 3). Internal spec remains in the repo for plugin consumers |
-| `skills/last30days-nux/SKILL.md` is a symlink to `../../SKILL.md`; claude.ai may reject zips with symlink entries | Resolved by excluding `skills/` from the zip (Unit 3). Symlink never enters the archive |
-
-## Documentation and Operational Notes
-
- Update README only (Unit 5). No runbook, no migration, no flag.
- No deployment step - plugin consumers get the packaging fix automatically on next update.
- Release notes flag: manual uploaders should re-zip via `scripts/build-skill.sh`.
- Opportunistic future work (out of scope here): CI check that fails PRs that push the zip over 200 files.

-# claude.ai distribution + discoverability push
-
-## Overview
-
-The 200-file upload bug is fixed and `last30days.skill` works on claude.ai. But "it can be uploaded" is not the same as "people use it." Claude.ai has no native skill marketplace, so discovery happens through a 3-layer stack: Anthropic's curated plugin marketplace, third-party aggregators, and social/newsletter amplification. The question Matt asked - "is the GitHub release the right decision" - has a clear answer: yes, but it is table stakes, not the strategy. This plan cuts the release and then pulls the real distribution levers.
-
-## Problem Frame
-
-Today, the only way a claude.ai user can get `last30days` is to clone the repo and run `scripts/build-skill.sh`. That filters out 99% of potential users. Even once a release exists with a direct download link, the hard problem is discovery - claude.ai users do not browse GitHub for skills. They find skills via Anthropic's "Discover" tab in Claude Code, third-party aggregator sites (skillsmp.com, mcpmarket.com, claudeskills.info), awesome-lists on GitHub, newsletters (The Neuron), and social posts (X, r/ClaudeAI).
-
-Success looks like: a claude.ai user who never visits the repo can find, download, and upload the skill in under 60 seconds, and keep using it because the trigger description fires on the right prompts.
-
-## Requirements Trace
-
- R1. A one-click install path exists for claude.ai users: click a link from README/marketplace/aggregator, get `last30days.skill`, drop into Upload dialog
- R2. The skill is submitted to Anthropic's official plugin marketplace at `platform.claude.com/plugins/submit`
- R3. The skill is listed in at least 4 high-traffic awesome-lists / aggregators
- R4. The SKILL.md YAML `description` and `argument-hint` fields are tuned so Claude's skill-selector actually invokes `last30days` on research-intent prompts (trigger quality is the single biggest install-to-reuse lever)
- R5. First-run experience works with zero API keys for the default sources (Reddit, Hacker News, Polymarket, GitHub) - already true, verify does not regress
- R6. At least one high-visibility amplification moment ships within 14 days: demo GIF + launch tweet + The Neuron pitch
- R7. Basic metrics are in place to learn what works: release-download counts, aggregator referrer traffic, GitHub star velocity before/after
-
-## Scope Boundaries
-
-Non-goals for this plan:
- Not building a custom skill-hosting site or our own marketplace
- Not changing the runtime pipeline or adding features - this is pure distribution
- Not spamming aggregators with low-effort PRs - one quality submission per venue
- Not gaming install counts or stars
- Not displacing the existing Claude Code plugin / OpenClaw / Gemini distribution - those stay as-is, cross-linked
- Not depending on Anthropic marketplace acceptance before other levers ship - marketplace review is slow and gate-able
-
-## Context and Research
-
-### The claude.ai skill ecosystem in April 2026
-
- **No native claude.ai skill marketplace.** Upload is the only end-user path inside the web UI.
- **Anthropic's Plugin/Skills Marketplace** (submissions at `platform.claude.com/plugins/submit`) is the closest thing to a "featured" channel and ships through Claude Code's "Discover" tab. Quality/security review gates acceptance. Research-category skills are under-represented vs. dev-tool skills.
- **Third-party aggregators** drive most organic discovery outside Anthropic's channels:
-  - `skillsmp.com`, `mcpmarket.com`, `claudeskills.info`, `skillsdirectory.com`, `agensi.io`
-  - These aggregators scrape awesome-lists, so one well-placed PR cascades
- **Awesome-lists** where skills discovery congregates:
-  - `ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills`
-  - `travisvn/awesome-claude-skills`
-  - `karanb192/awesome-claude-skills`
-  - `VoltAgent/awesome-agent-skills`
-  - `sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills` (1,400+ skills indexed)
- **Newsletter amplification:** The Neuron runs a daily "AI Skill of the Day" digest - the single biggest external traffic source per successful skill creators. Their "practical workflow" angle fits a research skill cleanly.
- **Install-count reference points** from public aggregator data:
-  - `self-improving-agent`: 357k installs
-  - `frontend-design`: 277k installs
-  - `skill-vetter`: 190k installs
-  - `github`: 148k installs
-  - `proactive-agent`: 135k installs
-  - Long tail: ~500 installs
-
-The gap between 500-install and 357k-install skills is mostly: (a) trigger description quality, (b) zero-config first run, (c) one amplification moment that caught.
-
-### Current distribution surface for last30days
-
- Claude Code plugin via marketplace and GitHub URL: live
- OpenClaw via ClawHub (`clawhub install last30days-official`): live
- Gemini extension: live
- Manual `git clone`: documented in README
- claude.ai `.skill` upload: just shipped, undocumented for end users (no link)
-
-The cross-linking graph is incomplete. Traffic that already exists (Claude Code install page, OpenClaw listing, Gemini extensions page) is not being routed to the new claude.ai path.
-
-### Reference: trigger description quality
-
-The root `SKILL.md` `description` field is how Claude decides whether to invoke the skill. Current text (as of 3.0.1, 167 chars):
-
-> "Multi-query social research across Reddit, X, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Hacker News, Polymarket, and the web. Intelligent query planning with Gemini/OpenAI fallback."
-
-Analysis: solid source list, weak on action verbs and example queries. Successful skills include imperative verbs ("research", "find", "summarize", "compare") and 1-2 example triggers the user might type. At 167/200 chars, there is room.
-
-## Key Technical Decisions
-
- **Cut v3.0.1 GitHub release with `last30days.skill` attached as an asset** (table stakes). Rationale: every downstream lever (README link, marketplace submission, aggregator PR, tweet) needs a stable public download URL.
- **Automate `.skill` build in CI on tag push** so future releases never forget to attach the artifact. Rationale: manual builds break over time; this is a one-time 10-line GitHub Actions workflow.
- **Prioritize marketplace submission in parallel with aggregator PRs**, not in sequence. Rationale: marketplace review is slow and opaque; do not block aggregator work on it. If rejected, we still have the aggregator presence.
- **Tune the SKILL.md description to optimize trigger selection**, not marketing copy. Rationale: this is the single biggest re-use lever per the ecosystem research. Marketing copy goes in README/release notes, not frontmatter.
- **One quality pass per aggregator, not a spray.** Rationale: awesome-list maintainers reject duplicate / low-effort PRs; reputation matters.
- **Ship the launch tweet with a real demo GIF**, not a screenshot. Rationale: Boris Cherny's Claude Code viral tweet template (one query, one result, "oh wow" moment) consistently outperforms text-only launches.
- **Pitch The Neuron once, with a production-quality 60-second demo**, not a cold email. Rationale: single shot at the biggest amplifier; treat it like a press release, not a tweet.
- **Track release-download count + GitHub referrer traffic as proxies for adoption** until we have better signal. Rationale: claude.ai upload counts are not exposed to creators.
- **Cross-link existing distribution pages back to claude.ai** as part of the release. Rationale: converting existing users to multi-surface users is cheaper than acquiring new ones.
-
-## Open Questions
-
-### Resolved during planning
-
- Is the GitHub release the right first step? Yes. Every other lever depends on a stable download URL. But it is a prerequisite, not the strategy.
- Does claude.ai have a native skill directory? No (confirmed April 2026).
- Should we wait for Anthropic marketplace acceptance before shipping other levers? No - parallelize.
- Do we need to rebuild the runtime to improve claude.ai adoption? No - the runtime is strong; the gap is distribution.
-
-### Deferred to implementation
-
- Exact Neuron pitch copy - draft during Unit 8, refine based on what their recent editions have favored
- Whether to tag `@steipete`, `@AnthropicAI`, `@alexalbert__` in the launch tweet - confirm current handles and review each's posting culture before tagging
- Which specific demo query to record for the launch GIF - pick during Unit 7 based on what's newsworthy that week
- Whether to request a "skills-research" badge on skillsdirectory.com/agensi.io - check their current badge programs during Unit 5
-

-
-## Implementation Units
-
- [ ] **Unit 1: Cut v3.0.1 GitHub release with `.skill` asset + auto-build CI**
-
-**Goal:** Produce a stable public download URL for `last30days.skill` so every downstream lever has something to link to, and guarantee future releases include the artifact automatically.
-
-**Requirements:** R1
-
-**Dependencies:** None (plan 2026-04-14-001 already shipped the build script)
-
-**Files:**
- Create: `.github/workflows/release.yml`
- Modify: none at release time (release is a git-tag + GitHub release action)
-
-**Approach:**
- Tag `v3.0.1` on `main`, push
- Create GitHub release with the CHANGELOG v3.0.1 entry as body, attach `dist/last30days.skill`
- Add CI workflow that triggers on `push: tags: 'v*'`, runs `bash scripts/build-skill.sh`, uploads the artifact to the release. The `action-gh-release` pattern is standard.
- Release URL shape: `https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/releases/download/v3.0.1/last30days.skill` (deterministic, shareable)
-
-**Patterns to follow:**
- Any existing `.github/workflows/` patterns in the repo
- `actions/checkout@v4` + `softprops/action-gh-release@v2` is the conventional combo
-
-**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: pushing `v3.0.1` tag produces a release with `last30days.skill` attached and publicly downloadable without auth
- Edge case: re-tagging `v3.0.1` does not duplicate or corrupt the asset
- Error path: build failure in the workflow fails the release cleanly (no empty release created)
-
-**Verification:**
- `curl -fsSL -o /tmp/dl.skill https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill/releases/download/v3.0.1/last30days.skill` succeeds anonymously
- Downloaded file matches `dist/last30days.skill` byte-for-byte
- A second tag (e.g., `v3.0.2-test`) in a branch triggers the workflow end-to-end
-
- [ ] **Unit 2: Tune SKILL.md description and argument-hint for trigger quality**
-
-**Goal:** Increase the probability that Claude's skill-selector invokes `last30days` on research-intent prompts. Trigger quality is the single biggest install-to-reuse lever per ecosystem research.
-
-**Requirements:** R4, R5
-
-**Dependencies:** None
-
-**Files:**
- Modify: `SKILL.md` (frontmatter `description` and `argument-hint` only)
- Modify: `skills/last30days/SKILL.md` (if parity needed)
-
-**Approach:**
- Rewrite `description` to lead with an imperative action verb and include 1-2 concrete example queries, staying =200 chars
- Rewrite `argument-hint` to show 2-3 canonical invocations that mirror real user phrasing, not marketing phrasing
- Keep the source list intact - that's the value prop - but move it later in the sentence
- Reference frames that worked for high-install skills: `frontend-design`, `self-improving-agent`, `github`
-
-**Technical design:** *(directional guidance, not implementation spec)*
-
-Candidate shape (verify char count in implementation):
-
-```yaml
-description: "Research what people actually say about any topic in the last 30 days. Pulls real posts and engagement from Reddit, X, YouTube, TikTok, Hacker News, Polymarket, GitHub, and the web."
-argument-hint: 'last30days AI video tools | last30days nvidia earnings reaction | last30days best noise cancelling headphones'
-```
-
-**Test scenarios:**
- Happy path: in a fresh claude.ai chat, prompts like "what are people saying about X this week" surface `last30days` in the skill-selector candidate set
- Edge case: generic "research X" prompts do not over-select `last30days` when the user clearly wants a general answer (avoids false-positive selection)
- Integration: test in all three environments - claude.ai web, Claude Code, OpenClaw - to confirm selection behavior is consistent
-
-**Verification:**
- Description =200 chars, checked by the same regex Unit 6 of plan 001 used
- At least 3 real-user prompt phrasings trigger skill selection in manual testing
- No regression on zero-config first-run (no new API keys required)
-
- [ ] **Unit 3: Rewrite the README claude.ai section with one-click install**
-
-**Goal:** Replace the current "run this bash script" instructions with a one-click download link pointing at the GitHub release asset.
-
-**Requirements:** R1
-
-**Dependencies:** Unit 1 (release must exist first)
-
-**Files:**
- Modify: `README.md` (the "Upload as a Claude Skill" section added in plan 001)
-
-**Approach:**
- Replace the `bash scripts/build-skill.sh` instruction with a direct download link to the release asset
- Keep the build-from-source instruction as a fallback for developers, demoted below the direct link
- Add a short 3-step install guide with specific UI path: "Settings > Capabilities > Skills > + button, drop the .skill file"
- Include a screenshot or GIF showing the upload flow if space allows (can be added in Unit 7)
-
-**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none - pure documentation change
-
-**Verification:**
- A user following the README instructions end-to-end can go from "never heard of this" to working skill in under 60 seconds
- Instructions specify the exact claude.ai UI path current as of the release date
-
- [ ] **Unit 4: Cross-link existing distribution surfaces back to claude.ai**
-
-**Goal:** Convert existing Claude Code plugin / OpenClaw / Gemini traffic into claude.ai installs. Cheaper than net-new acquisition.
-
-**Requirements:** R1
-
-**Dependencies:** Unit 1, Unit 3
-
-**Files:**
- Modify: `README.md` (install matrix - add claude.ai row prominently)
- Modify: `variants/open/SKILL.md` in the private repo if that governs OpenClaw listing copy
- Modify: `gemini-extension.json` if `description` or install hints exist there
- External: update the ClawHub listing page for `last30days-official` to mention claude.ai availability
-
-**Approach:**
- Every listing page a user currently lands on should have a one-line "Also available as a claude.ai Skill: [download]" link
- Use a consistent short-URL pattern so it's instantly recognizable across surfaces
- Do not require users to re-read each install guide - the cross-link is opportunistic, not blocking
-
-**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none - documentation/external-listing updates
-
-**Verification:**
- Each of the 4 distribution surfaces (Claude Code plugin marketplace, OpenClaw ClawHub listing, Gemini extensions page, GitHub README) contains a visible claude.ai cross-link within 1 scroll of the page top
-
- [ ] **Unit 5: Submit PRs to high-traffic Claude skill awesome-lists**
-
-**Goal:** Get listed in the 5 highest-traffic aggregators so third-party skill-discovery sites (skillsmp.com, mcpmarket.com, claudeskills.info) pick up the entry.
-
-**Requirements:** R3
-
-**Dependencies:** Unit 1, Unit 2 (description should be tuned before first impression in these lists)
-
-**Files (external repos):**
- `ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills` - PR adding last30days to the relevant category
- `travisvn/awesome-claude-skills`
- `karanb192/awesome-claude-skills`
- `VoltAgent/awesome-agent-skills`
- `sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills`
-
-**Approach:**
- One PR per list, in parallel
- Each PR: one-line entry matching the list's existing format; link to release asset (not repo root)
- If the list has a "research" or "data-gathering" category, use it; otherwise append to the most adjacent section
- Draft copy once, reuse across PRs - but match each list's voice and entry format
- Do not self-star or brigade - let the listing earn traction organically
-
-**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none - external PRs, not code
-
-**Verification:**
- All 5 PRs opened on the same day (batch effort, reduces overhead)
- Entries include: skill name, one-sentence description matching tuned SKILL.md copy, release URL, source repo URL
- Track merge status over 14 days; abandon PRs that go stale after reasonable nudging
-
- [ ] **Unit 6: Submit to Anthropic's official Plugin/Skills Marketplace**
-
-**Goal:** Get featured in Claude Code's "Discover" tab, the closest thing to a native claude.ai skill directory.
-
-**Requirements:** R2
-
-**Dependencies:** Unit 1, Unit 2
-
-**Files:**
- No repo changes; this is an external submission at `platform.claude.com/plugins/submit`
-
-**Approach:**
- Submit via Anthropic's form with: skill name, description (matches tuned SKILL.md), GitHub repo URL, release asset URL, demo video link (from Unit 7 if available)
- Expect quality/security review; Anthropic will likely ask for the ClawGuard-scanner-style audit items already surfaced in issue #231 - have responses ready
- Do not wait for acceptance before shipping other levers
-
-**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none - external submission
-
-**Verification:**
- Submission confirmation received
- Track review status weekly; iterate on feedback if any
-
- [ ] **Unit 7: Record a 15-60 second demo GIF or screen recording**
-
-**Goal:** Produce the visual asset that every amplification channel needs - launch tweet, Neuron pitch, README hero, release notes.
-
-**Requirements:** R6
-
-**Dependencies:** Unit 2 (want the tuned description on-screen), Unit 3 (want the updated install flow)
-
-**Files:**
- Create: `assets/claudeai-demo.gif` (or `.mp4` if GIF is too large)
- Modify: `README.md` to embed the GIF
-
-**Approach:**
- Two possible framings:
-  1. "Upload + use" flow: 15 seconds showing Upload dialog -> skill appears -> sample query -> result
-  2. "One query" flow: 15-30 seconds of a real research query running end-to-end with actual output
- Pick framing 2 for outside-audience amplification (tweet, Neuron); framing 1 for the README
- Record at 1x speed (speeding up feels fake); edit to =60 seconds
- Export as optimized GIF or H.264 MP4 =5MB
-
-**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none - media asset
-
-**Verification:**
- Asset loads cleanly in GitHub README
- Asset uploads cleanly to X (under their video length/size caps)
- Matt watches it fresh and the "oh wow" moment is unambiguous in the first 5 seconds
-
- [ ] **Unit 8: Pitch The Neuron "AI Skill of the Day"**
-
-**Goal:** One high-leverage newsletter placement that historically drives the biggest external install spike for Claude skills.
-
-**Requirements:** R6
-
-**Dependencies:** Unit 1, Unit 7
-
-**Approach:**
- Identify The Neuron editor contact (newsletter footer, X DMs, their `skilloftheday@` alias if published)
- Pitch with: 3-sentence hook, demo video link, release URL, 3 example queries that show breadth
- Angle: "researcher skill that queries 12+ social sources in one shot" - novelty vs. their typical dev-tool coverage
- Offer exclusive timing if they want (publish first, then we tweet)
- Do not follow up more than twice
-
-**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none - external pitch
-
-**Verification:**
- Pitch sent with all assets linked
- Track whether the issue ships within 14 days; if not, reuse the materials for other newsletters
-
- [ ] **Unit 9: Launch tweet + recurring news-cycle posts**
-
-**Goal:** Seed social discovery and establish a weekly cadence so the skill stays top-of-mind.
-
-**Requirements:** R6
-
-**Dependencies:** Unit 1, Unit 7
-
-**Approach:**
- Launch tweet: demo GIF + 1-sentence description + install link. Post to X, cross-post to r/ClaudeAI and r/singularity same day.
- Do not tag handles reflexively - research each target account's culture first
- Weekly recurring pattern: pick a news moment (earnings, launch, election, cultural event), run `last30days` on it, screenshot the output, post. Low-effort, repeatable, compounds.
- Track: likes, impressions, link-click referrer traffic to the release page
-
-**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none - social posts
-
-**Verification:**
- Launch tweet live with demo GIF
- At least one follow-up news-cycle post within 7 days
- Referrer traffic spike visible in GitHub traffic dashboard
-
- [ ] **Unit 10: Adoption telemetry and feedback loop**
-
-**Goal:** Learn which levers work so we double down on wins and cut losses. Current blind spot: no visibility into claude.ai install counts.
-
-**Requirements:** R7
-
-**Dependencies:** Unit 1
-
-**Approach:**
- Baseline metrics (capture on Unit 1 ship day):
-  - GitHub stars
-  - Clones/day
-  - Traffic referrers
-  - Release-asset download count (GitHub exposes this on the Release page)
- Weekly review during the first 6 weeks of:
-  - Release download deltas
-  - Star velocity
-  - Referrer sources (identifies which aggregator/newsletter/tweet drove traffic)
-  - New GitHub issues that mention claude.ai specifically
- No dedicated analytics infrastructure - use what GitHub provides + manual referrer spot-checks
- Publish a "what worked / what didn't" retro after 6 weeks in `docs/solutions/` so the next launch compounds
-
-**Test scenarios:**
- Test expectation: none - observability
-
-**Verification:**
- Baseline metrics captured in a `docs/solutions/YYYY-MM-DD-*.md` note
- Weekly log of download/star/referrer deltas maintained
- Retro written at week 6 with concrete learnings for the next release
-
-## System-Wide Impact
-
- **Interaction graph:** Touches GitHub (release, CI), external aggregators (PRs), Anthropic marketplace (submission), X/Reddit/newsletter (social), ClawHub/Gemini listings (cross-links). No runtime code changes.
- **State lifecycle risks:** Minimal. The main risk is inconsistent cross-linking (some surfaces mention claude.ai, others don't) - Unit 4 treats this as a coordinated sweep, not per-surface creep.
- **API surface parity:** None - no API changes.
- **Integration coverage:** The critical integration is trigger-selection behavior (Unit 2). Manual verification across web / Claude Code / OpenClaw is the gate.
- **Unchanged invariants:** Runtime pipeline, existing install paths (Claude Code plugin / OpenClaw / Gemini) all stay working. Zero-config first-run for default sources remains intact.
-
-## Risks and Dependencies
-
-| Risk | Mitigation |
-|------|------------|
-| Anthropic marketplace rejects the submission on security/quality grounds | Run `scripts/build-skill.sh` output through ClawGuard or equivalent scanner pre-submission; address #231 findings if real |
-| Awesome-list maintainers reject or ignore PRs | Submit to 5 lists in parallel; any 2 acceptances are enough; do not brigade |
-| The Neuron pitch is ignored | Treat as upside, not critical path; reuse materials for other newsletters (Ben's Bites, TLDR, Superhuman AI) |
-| Tuned description causes false-positive skill selection on unrelated prompts | Manual prompt-testing in Unit 2; be willing to walk back if Claude over-invokes the skill |
-| A new Anthropic marketplace or directory launches mid-plan and changes the landscape | The research-tracking cadence in Unit 10 catches this within a week; plan can adapt |
-| Launch tweet flops / no organic pickup | Weekly news-cycle cadence (Unit 9) is the compounding play, not the launch moment |
-| Cross-repo cross-links in Unit 4 go stale when listings move | Use canonical GitHub Release URL (deterministic) as the link target everywhere |
-
-## Documentation / Operational Notes
-
- README gets a hero section update in Unit 3
- CHANGELOG gets a v3.0.1 release-notes entry (already shipped in plan 001)
- A `docs/solutions/` retrospective note ships after the 6-week observation window (Unit 10)
- No runbook needed - distribution work is one-time-per-release

Matt Van Horn	3499c246b8	fix: add commands/last30days.md and remove skills/last30days-nux duplicate (#267 ) Release / build-and-release (push) Has been cancelled Details 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 Details 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 Details 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 Details 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. Co-authored-by: Matt Van Horn <455140+mvanhorn@users.noreply.github.com>	2026-04-15 08:40:09 -04:00
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. --------- Co-authored-by: Matt Van Horn <455140+mvanhorn@users.noreply.github.com>	2026-04-15 08:26:06 -04:00
