Live test on Ghostty after the prior commit showed a regression: first-pass /last30days synthesis stripped all inline links. Only after the user asked "weren't these links supposed to be clickable?" did the agent re-render with inline links. Agent's own root cause: "I misread LAW 1 — over-applied 'no trailing Sources: block' to mean 'no URLs anywhere'." The templates and per-citation examples were already correct. The regression was in EMPHASIS BALANCE — the anti-trailing-Sources prohibition used the loudest prose (CRITICAL OVERRIDE, MANDATORY, MUST NOT) while the pro-inline- link rule read as lighter guidance. On a fresh first read, the agent collapsed both into one prohibition and stripped every citation link. This commit rebalances emphasis and adds a forcing function: - New "TWO HARD RULES FOR LINKS" framing at the top of the output section names RULE A (inline links required on every citation) and RULE B (no trailing list of links) as a matched pair with equal rhetorical weight. Explicit: "These rules are complementary, not alternatives." - New "PRE-SYNTHESIS COMMIT" step forces the agent to identify sources, pull URLs, and commit to inline-link placement BEFORE drafting — not audit after the fact. - Existing CRITICAL OVERRIDE block now opens by pointing back to the matched-pair framing and drops the "Your citation is the Web: line. Nothing else is needed." priming sentence that biased the agent toward link-free drafts. - New BAD/ALSO-BAD/GOOD triple in the CRITICAL OVERRIDE block shows the exact regression shape (stripping inline links to "comply" with RULE B) as a distinct failure mode, not just the trailing-list failure. - PRE-PRESENT SELF-CHECK reworked: item 6 becomes "RULE B — no trailing list", item 7 becomes "RULE A — inline links present on first pass" with a positive count check that regenerates if zero inline links appear when raw data had URLs (the exact 2026-04-20 regression repro). - Release notes entry gains one line describing the first-pass guarantee. No Python changes. This is an amendment on PR #286 folding the fix into the same review. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

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, GitHub, and 5+ more sources 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.

## 2026-04-20 — Clickable source links
|
|
|
|
Every cited source in the synthesis (X handles, subreddits, publications, YouTube channels, Polymarket markets) now renders as a blue CMD-clickable markdown link in the terminal. No raw URL strings — just clean link text you can click straight through to the source. Works in Claude Code on any terminal that supports OSC 8 hyperlinks (Ghostty, iTerm, Warp, others).
|
|
|
|
The skill follows two hard rules: inline links required on every citation, no trailing list of links anywhere. Both fire on first pass — no need to ask twice.
|
|
|
|
Credit to [@jay_k](https://x.com/jay_k) for surfacing the missing link-back in the reply thread, and to [@photomatt](https://x.com/photomatt) for confirming CMD-click works in Claude Code — that was the nudge to flip the rule.

## v3 is the intelligent search release
|
|
|
|
v3 is a ground-up engine rewrite by [@j-sperling](https://github.com/j-sperling). The old engine searched keywords. The new engine understands your topic first, then searches the right people and communities.
|
|
|
|
Type "OpenClaw" and v3 resolves @steipete, r/openclaw, r/ClaudeCode, and the right YouTube channels and TikTok hashtags before a single API call fires. Type "Peter Steinberger" and it resolves his X handle and GitHub profile, switches to person mode, and shows what he shipped this month at 85% merge rate across 22 PRs. None of that was on Google.
|
|
|
|
## Headline features
|
|
|
|
### Intelligent pre-research
|
|
|
|
The killer feature. A new Python pre-research brain resolves X handles, GitHub repos, subreddits, TikTok hashtags, and YouTube channels before searching. Bidirectional: person to company, product to founder, name to GitHub profile. The right subreddits, the right handles, the right hashtags, all resolved before a single API call.
|
|
|
|
### Best Takes
|
|
|
|
A second LLM judge scores every result for humor, wit, and virality alongside relevance. Every brief now ends with a Best Takes section surfacing the cleverest one-liners and most viral quotes. The Reddit and X people are funny, and the old engine buried their best stuff.
|
|
|
|
### Cross-source cluster merging
|
|
|
|
When the same story hits Reddit, X, and YouTube, v3 merges them into one cluster instead of three duplicates. Entity-based overlap detection catches matches even when the titles use different words.
|
|
|
|
### Single-pass comparisons
|
|
|
|
"X vs Y" used to run three serial passes (12+ minutes). v3 runs one pass with entity-aware subqueries for both sides at once. Same depth, 3 minutes.
|
|
|
|
### GitHub person-mode and project-mode
|
|
|
|
When the topic is a person, the engine switches from keyword search to author-scoped queries. PR velocity, top repos by stars, release notes for what shipped this month, woven into the narrative alongside X posts and Reddit threads.
|
|
|
|
When the topic is a project, it pulls live star counts, READMEs, releases, and top issues from the GitHub API. No stale blog posts.
|
|
|
|
### ELI5 mode
|
|
|
|
Say "eli5 on" after any research run. The synthesis rewrites in plain language. No jargon. Same data, same sources, same citations, just clearer. Say "eli5 off" to go back.
|
|
|
|
### 13+ sources
|
|
|
|
v3 adds Threads, Pinterest, Perplexity, Bluesky, and Parallel AI grounding to the existing Reddit, X, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Hacker News, Polymarket, GitHub, and Web lineup. Perplexity Deep Research (`--deep-research`) gives you 50+ citation reports for serious investigation.
|
|
|
|
### Per-author cap and entity disambiguation
|
|
|
|
Max 3 items per author prevents single-voice dominance. Synthesis trusts resolved handles over fuzzy keyword matches.
|
|
|
|

## v3 Community
|
|
|
|
v3 was shaped by community contributors whose PRs and issues inspired core features. Their code wasn't merged directly (v3 was a ground-up rewrite), but their ideas drove what shipped.
