2.1.0 - 2026-02-15

Highlights

Three headline features: watchlists for always-on bots, YouTube transcripts as a 4th source, and Codex CLI compatibility. Plus bundled X search with no external CLI needed.

Added

Open-class skill with watchlists, briefings, and history modes (SQLite-backed, FTS5 full-text search, WAL mode) (feat(open))
YouTube as a 4th research source via yt-dlp -- search, view counts, and auto-generated transcript extraction (feat: Add YouTube)
OpenAI Codex CLI compatibility -- install to ~/.agents/skills/last30days, invoke with $last30days (feat: Add Codex CLI)
Bundled X search -- vendored subset of Bird's Twitter GraphQL client (MIT, originally by @steipete), no external CLI needed (v2.1: Bundle Bird X search)
Native web search backends: Parallel AI, Brave Search, OpenRouter/Perplexity Sonar Pro (feat(engine))
--diagnose flag for checking available sources and authentication status
--store flag for SQLite accumulation (open variant)
Conversational first-run experience (NUX) with dynamic source status (feat(nux))

Changed

Smarter query construction -- strips noise words, auto-retries with shorter queries when X returns 0 results
Two-phase search architecture -- Phase 1 discovers entities (@handles, r/subreddits), Phase 2 drills into them
Reddit JSON enrichment -- real upvotes, comments, and upvote ratio from reddit.com/.json endpoint
Engagement-weighted scoring: relevance 45%, recency 25%, engagement 30% (log1p dampening)
Model auto-selection with 7-day cache and fallback chain (gpt-4.1 -> gpt-4o -> gpt-4o-mini)
--days=N configurable lookback flag (thanks @jonthebeef, #18)
Model fallback for unverified orgs (thanks @levineam, #16)
Marketplace plugin support via .claude-plugin/plugin.json (inspired by @galligan, #1)

Fixed

YouTube timeout increased to 90s, Reddit 429 rate limit fail-fast
YouTube soft date filter -- keeps evergreen content instead of filtering to 0 results
Eager import crash in __init__.py that broke Codex environments
Reddit future timeout (same pattern as YouTube timeout bug)
Process cleanup on timeout/kill -- tracks child PIDs for clean shutdown
Windows Unicode fix for cp1252 emoji crash (thanks @JosephOIbrahim, #17)
X search returning 0 results on popular topics due to over-specific queries
