The AI world reinvents itself every month. This skill keeps you current.
/last30days researches your topic across Reddit, X, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Hacker News, Polymarket, and the web from the last 30 days, finds what the community is actually upvoting, sharing, betting on, and saying on camera, and writes you a grounded narrative with real citations.
What's New in v2.9.1
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 who was already doing this manually.
Three Headline Features in v2.9
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.
