Add Instagram Reels as the 8th research source via ScrapeCreators API.

  relevance scoring, engagement metrics (views, likes, comments)
- Add InstagramItem to schema, normalization, scoring, dedup, rendering
- Add Instagram to orchestrator pipeline, watchlist, and UI spinners
- Update SKILL.md: stats template, citation priority, item format,
  URL-to-name extraction rules, anti-Sources instruction
- Update README and CHANGELOG for v2.8
- Fix: Instagram/TikTok not running in --search= web-only path
- Fix: web stats line showing full URLs instead of domain names
- Replace APIFY_API_TOKEN with SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY throughout

2.8.0 - 2026-03-04

Highlights

Instagram Reels as the 8th signal source, TikTok migrated from Apify to ScrapeCreators API, and SKILL.md quality improvements. One API key (SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY) now covers both TikTok and Instagram.

Added

  • Instagram Reels as 8th research source via ScrapeCreators API — keyword search, engagement metrics (views, likes, comments), spoken-word transcript extraction (scripts/lib/instagram.py)
  • InstagramItem dataclass, normalization, scoring (45% relevance / 25% recency / 30% engagement), deduplication, cross-source linking, and rendering
  • Instagram in SKILL.md: stats template (📸 Instagram:), citation priority, item format description, output footer
  • URL-to-name extraction examples in SKILL.md for cleaner web source display
  • --search=instagram flag support

Changed

  • TikTok backend migrated from Apify to ScrapeCreators API (api.scrapecreators.com)
  • APIFY_API_TOKEN replaced by SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY in config
  • SKILL.md version bumped to v2.8
  • WebSearch citation instruction strengthened to prevent trailing Sources: blocks
  • Security section updated: Apify → ScrapeCreators references

Fixed

  • Web stats line showing full URLs instead of plain domain names
  • Trailing "Sources:" block appearing after skill invitation (WebSearch tool mandate conflict)
  • Instagram/TikTok not running in web-only mode when --search=instagram used without Reddit/X
  • $ARGUMENTS quoting in SKILL.md for correct flag forwarding

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

New Contributors

  • @JosephOIbrahim -- Windows Unicode fix (#17)
  • @levineam -- Model fallback for unverified orgs (#16)
  • @jonthebeef -- --days=N configurable lookback (#18)

  • @hutchins -- Pushed for YouTube feature
