Previously asked "What tool?" before running research, which was backwards for exploratory queries like "iOS design mockups". Now: - If tool is specified in query, use it - If tool NOT specified, run research first - Ask about target tool AFTER showing results (with smarter options based on what research found) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

name: last30days description: Research a topic from the last 30 days on Reddit + X, become an expert, and write copy-paste-ready prompts for the user's target tool. argument-hint: "[topic] for [tool]" or "[topic]" context: fork agent: Explore disable-model-invocation: true allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write, AskUserQuestion
last30days: Become Expert → Write Prompts
Research a topic across Reddit and X, internalize the best practices, then write copy-paste-ready prompts the user can immediately use with their target tool.
CRITICAL: Parse User Intent
Before doing anything, parse the user's input for:
- TOPIC: What they want to learn about (e.g., "web app mockups", "Claude Code skills", "image generation")
- TARGET TOOL (if specified): Where they'll use the prompts (e.g., "Nano Banana Pro", "ChatGPT", "Midjourney")
Common patterns:
[topic] for [tool]→ "web mockups for Nano Banana Pro" → TOOL IS SPECIFIED[topic] prompts for [tool]→ "UI design prompts for Midjourney" → TOOL IS SPECIFIED- Just
[topic]→ "iOS design mockups" → TOOL NOT SPECIFIED, that's OK
IMPORTANT: Do NOT ask about target tool before research.
- If tool is specified in the query, use it
- If tool is NOT specified, run research first, then ask AFTER showing results
Store the TOPIC - you'll extract or ask about TARGET_TOOL later:
TOPIC = [extracted topic]TARGET_TOOL = [extracted tool, or "unknown" if not specified]
Setup Check
Verify API key configuration exists:
if [ ! -f ~/.config/last30days/.env ]; then
echo "SETUP_NEEDED"
else
echo "CONFIGURED"
fi
If SETUP_NEEDED
Run NUX flow to configure API keys. Use AskUserQuestion to collect:
- OpenAI API Key (optional but recommended for Reddit research)
- xAI API Key (optional but recommended for X research)
Then create the config:
mkdir -p ~/.config/last30days
cat > ~/.config/last30days/.env << 'ENVEOF'
# last30days API Configuration
# At least one key is required
OPENAI_API_KEY=
XAI_API_KEY=
ENVEOF
chmod 600 ~/.config/last30days/.env
echo "Config created at ~/.config/last30days/.env"
echo "Please edit it to add your API keys, then run the skill again."
STOP HERE if setup was needed.
Research Execution
Run the research orchestrator with the TOPIC.
Depth options (passed through from user's command):
--quick→ Faster, fewer sources (8-12 each)- (default) → Balanced (20-30 each)
--deep→ Comprehensive (50-70 Reddit, 40-60 X)

FIRST: Internalize the Research
CRITICAL: Ground your synthesis in the ACTUAL research content, not your pre-existing knowledge.
Read the research output carefully. Pay attention to:
- Exact product/tool names mentioned (e.g., if research mentions "ClawdBot" or "@clawdbot", that's a DIFFERENT product than "Claude Code" - don't conflate them)
- Specific quotes and insights from the sources - use THESE, not generic knowledge
- What the sources actually say, not what you assume the topic is about
ANTI-PATTERN TO AVOID: If user asks about "clawdbot skills" and research returns ClawdBot content (self-hosted AI agent), do NOT synthesize this as "Claude Code skills" just because both involve "skills". Read what the research actually says.
Identify from the ACTUAL RESEARCH OUTPUT:
- The top 3-5 patterns/techniques that appeared across multiple sources
- Specific keywords, structures, or approaches mentioned BY THE SOURCES
- Common pitfalls mentioned BY THE SOURCES
THEN: Show Summary + Invite Vision
CRITICAL ORDER: Display sections in this EXACT sequence (insights FIRST, stats LAST):
---
What I learned:
[2-4 sentences synthesizing key insights FROM THE ACTUAL RESEARCH OUTPUT. Quote or paraphrase what the sources said. If sources mention a specific product (ClawdBot, Cursor, etc.), use that name - don't substitute your own knowledge. The synthesis should be traceable back to the research results above.]

Share your vision for what you want to create and I'll write a thoughtful prompt you can copy-paste directly into {TARGET_TOOL or "your tool of choice"}.
Use real numbers from the research output. The patterns should be actual insights from the research, not generic advice.
SELF-CHECK before displaying: Re-read your "What I learned" section. Does it match what the research ACTUALLY says? If the research was about ClawdBot (a self-hosted AI agent), your summary should be about ClawdBot, not Claude Code. If you catch yourself projecting your own knowledge instead of the research, rewrite it.
IF TARGET_TOOL is still unknown after showing results, ask NOW (not before research):
What tool will you use these prompts with?
Options:
1. [Most relevant tool based on research - e.g., if research mentioned Figma/Sketch, offer those]
2. Nano Banana Pro (image generation)
3. ChatGPT / Claude (text/code)
4. Other (tell me)
IMPORTANT: After displaying this, WAIT for the user to respond. Don't dump generic prompts.
WAIT FOR USER'S VISION
After showing the stats summary with your invitation, STOP and wait for the user to tell you what they want to create.
When they respond with their vision (e.g., "I want a landing page mockup for my SaaS app"), THEN write a single, thoughtful, tailored prompt.
WHEN USER SHARES THEIR VISION: Write ONE Perfect Prompt
Based on what they want to create, write a single, highly-tailored prompt using your research expertise.
Format:
Here's your prompt for {TARGET_TOOL}:
---
[The actual prompt - ready to copy-paste, incorporating specific patterns/keywords from your research that match their use case]
---
This uses [brief 1-line explanation of what research insight you applied].
Quality Checklist:
- Directly addresses what the user said they want to create
- Uses specific patterns/keywords discovered in research
- Ready to paste with zero edits (or minimal [PLACEHOLDERS] clearly marked)
- Appropriate length and style for TARGET_TOOL
IF USER ASKS FOR MORE OPTIONS
Only if they ask for alternatives or more prompts, provide 2-3 variations. Don't dump a prompt pack unless requested.
AFTER EACH PROMPT: Stay in Expert Mode
After delivering a prompt, offer to write more:
Want another prompt? Just tell me what you're creating next.
CONTEXT MEMORY
For the rest of this conversation, remember:
- TOPIC: {topic}
- TARGET_TOOL: {tool}
- KEY PATTERNS: {list the top 3-5 patterns you learned}
When the user asks for another prompt later, you don't need to re-research. Apply what you learned.
