The skill advertises ScrapeCreators as offering "10,000 free API calls" in six places. The actual free tier on the ScrapeCreators pricing page is "100 credits free · No credit card required · Credits never expire" — a 100x overstatement that surprises users on signup. Reporter (#367) burned through their full free allocation on a single /last30days run after taking the 10,000-call claim at face value. They verified the actual tier directly against scrapecreators.com plus an independent review at fahimai.com. Sweep: - hooks/scripts/check-config.sh:110 (SessionStart hook tip line) - README.md:228 (Sources × Cost table row) - HERMES_SETUP.md:62 (Optional: ScrapeCreators bullet) - skills/last30days/scripts/lib/ui.py:199 (PROMO_SINGLE_KEY["reddit"]) - skills/last30days/SKILL.md:1648 ("PAYG after 10,000 free API calls") - skills/last30days/SKILL.md:1661 ("10,000 free API calls, then PAYG") Wording defaults to the provider's own framing — "100 free credits" — and keeps PAYG language where it was already explicit, since the paid step is the part users were actually getting blindsided by. CI gates: tests/test_plugin_contract.py (4) + tests/test_version_consistency.py (4) all pass. shellcheck clean. No tests pin the "10,000" string.

# Hermes Setup Guide for last30days
|
|
|
|
This guide covers installing last30days on Hermes AI Agent.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
1. **Hermes installed** - See https://github.com/mercurial-tf/hermes
|
|
2. **Python 3.12+** - `brew install python@3.12` or similar
|
|
3. **yt-dlp** (optional, for YouTube) - `brew install yt-dlp`
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
hermes skills install mvanhorn/last30days-skill --force
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This pulls the latest release from GitHub and deploys to `~/.hermes/skills/research/last30days/`. `--force` reinstalls over any existing copy.
|
|
|
|
### Developer / live-edit alternative
|
|
|
|
If you're hacking on the skill locally and want edits to propagate to Hermes without re-installing, symlink your working tree:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill.git
|
|
mkdir -p ~/.hermes/skills/research
|
|
ln -s "$(pwd)/last30days-skill/skills/last30days" ~/.hermes/skills/research/last30days
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
In Hermes, invoke with:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
last30days "your research topic"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or with options:
|
|
```
|
|
last30days "best mechanical keyboards 2025" --search=reddit,youtube
|
|
last30days "AI news" --days=7 --deep
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### Python not found
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Find Python 3.12+
|
|
which python3.12 python3.13 python3.14
|
|
|
|
# If not installed
|
|
brew install python@3.12
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### yt-dlp not found
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew install yt-dlp
|
|
# or
|
|
pip install yt-dlp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Check what's configured
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd ~/.hermes/skills/research/last30days
|
|
python3.12 scripts/last30days.py --diagnose
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Updating
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
hermes skills install mvanhorn/last30days-skill --force
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you symlinked your working tree (developer alternative above), just `git pull` in the repo — edits propagate live, no re-install step.
