**An AI agent-led search engine scored by upvotes, likes, and real money - not editors.**

This README tracks the current v3 pipeline. The runtime skill spec lives in [skills/last30days/SKILL.md](skills/last30days/SKILL.md), which is the source of truth for the latest command and setup behavior.

**Claude Code (recommended — auto-updates via marketplace):**
```
/plugin marketplace add mvanhorn/last30days-skill
/plugin install last30days
```

**Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, or any of 50+ [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io) hosts:**
```
npx skills add mvanhorn/last30days-skill -g
```
(`-g` installs globally for your user, available across all projects. Drop it to scope per-project.)

More install options (claude.ai web, OpenClaw, manual) in the [Install](#install) section below.

Zero config. Reddit, HN, Polymarket, and GitHub work immediately. Run it once and the setup wizard unlocks X, YouTube, TikTok, and more in 30 seconds.

---

Reddit upvotes. X likes. YouTube transcripts. TikTok engagement. Polymarket odds backed by real money and insider information. That's millions of people voting with their attention and their wallets every day. /last30days searches all of it in parallel, scores it by what real people actually engage with, and an AI agent judge synthesizes it into one brief.

Google aggregates editors. /last30days searches people.

You can't get this search anywhere else because no single AI has access to all of it. Google search doesn't touch Reddit comments or X posts. ChatGPT has a deal with Reddit but can't search X or TikTok. Gemini has YouTube but not Reddit. Claude has none of them natively. Each platform is a walled garden with its own API, its own tokens, its own auth. But you can bring your own keys and browser sessions, and suddenly an AI agent can search all of them at once, score them against each other, and tell you what actually matters.

That's the unlock. Not one better search engine. A dozen disconnected platforms, bridged by an agent.

You have a meeting tomorrow. You Google them. You get their LinkedIn from 2023. /last30days gives you what they're actually doing this month: joined OpenAI to work on Codex, fighting Anthropic's ban on third-party agents, shipping 23 PRs at 85% merge rate, building "LobsterOS" for cross-device agent control, and r/ClaudeCode hit 569 upvotes debating whether he's a hero or "insufferable." Scattered across X posts, Reddit threads, YouTube transcripts, and GitHub commits. None of it was on Google.

## Why this exists

I built it to keep up in AI. Everything changes every day and the Reddit and X nerds are always on top of it first. I needed better prompts, and the training data was always months behind what the community had already figured out.

But it turned into something bigger. Now I run it before a sales call to know the last 30 days truth about a business. Before a meeting to read someone's recent tweets and podcast transcripts. Before a Disney World trip to know which rides are closed and what the community says about Genie+. Before I build anything to know what problems people are actually hitting.

If you're meeting with a CEO, have you read all their tweets and YouTube transcripts from the last 30 days? I have.

## Sources, scored by the people

| Source | What the people tell you |
|--------|--------------------------|
| **Reddit** | The unfiltered take. Top comments with upvote counts, free via public JSON. The real opinions that Google buries. |
| **X / Twitter** | The hot take, the expert thread, the breaking reaction. First to know, first to argue. |
| **YouTube** | The 45-minute deep dive. Full transcripts searched for the 5 quotable sentences that matter. |
| **TikTok** | The creator reaching 3.6M people with a take you'll never find on Google. |
| **Instagram Reels** | The influencer perspective with spoken-word transcripts. The visual culture signal. |
| **Hacker News** | The developer consensus. 825 points, 899 comments. Where technical people actually argue. |
| **Polymarket** | Not opinions. Odds. Backed by real money. 96% confidence on album sales. 4% on an acquisition. |
| **GitHub** | For people: PR velocity, top repos by stars, release notes. For topics: issues and discussions. |
| **Digg** | Curated story clusters from Digg's AI 1000 leaderboard (~1000 high-signal AI accounts on X), with attributable inline quotes (no X auth required). Auto-enabled when `digg-pp-cli` is on PATH. |
| **Threads** | The post-Twitter text layer. Conversations from creators and brands. |
| **Pinterest** | Visual discovery. Pins, saves, and comments on products and ideas. |
| **Bluesky** | The decentralized social layer. AT Protocol posts from the post-Twitter migration. |
| **Perplexity** | Grounded web search with citations via Sonar Pro. |
| **Web** | The editorial coverage, the blog comparisons. One signal of many, not the only one. |

Community contributors keep adding more. Truth Social, Xiaohongshu (RED), and others are in the engine with more on the way.

A Reddit thread with 1,500 upvotes is a stronger signal than a blog post nobody read. A TikTok with 3.6M views tells you more about what's culturally relevant than a press release. Polymarket odds backed by $66K in volume are harder to argue with than a pundit's guess.

The synthesis ranks by what real people actually engaged with. Social relevancy, not SEO relevancy.

## What people actually use it for

**Before a meeting.** `/last30days Peter Steinberger` - joined OpenAI's Codex team, fighting Anthropic's ban on third-party agents, 23 PRs merged at 85% merge rate on GitHub, building LobsterOS for cross-device agent control. r/ClaudeCode: "Ever since OpenClaw released, it was widely known that if you run it through anything other than the API, you were gonna get banned eventually" (227 upvotes). That's not on LinkedIn.

**When something drops.** `/last30days Kanye West` - UK blocked his visa, Wireless Festival canceled, sponsors fled. But BULLY debuted #2 on Billboard. Fantano came back from his "Yay sabbatical" to review it (653K views). SoFi Homecoming brought out Lauryn Hill and Travis Scott for 44 songs. Polymarket: "Will Kanye tweet again?" 86% Yes. 23 Reddit threads, 17 YouTube videos, 86K upvotes.

**To compare tools.** `/last30days OpenClaw vs Hermes vs Paperclip` - "These aren't competitors, they're layers." OpenClaw is the executor (351K GitHub stars, live), Hermes is the self-improving brain (31K stars), Paperclip is the org chart (49K stars). Star counts pulled live from the GitHub API, not stale blog posts. Side-by-side table with architecture, memory, security, best-for. Per @IMJustinBrooke: "OpenClaw = Charmander, Hermes = Charizard."

**To understand the world.** `/last30days Iran vs USA` - Day 38 of the war. Trump's Tuesday deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Two US warplanes downed. Oil at $126/barrel. The IEA called it "the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market." Polymarket: ceasefire by Dec 31 at 74%. 27 X posts, 10 YouTube videos, 20 prediction markets.

**Before a trip.** `/last30days Universal Epic Universe` - Expansion already under construction. "Project 680" permit filed. Fireworks show confirmed by infrastructure but unannounced. Wait times: Mine-Cart Madness averaging 148 minutes. No annual pass yet, and locals are frustrated. Stardust Racers down for refurbishment through April 5.

**To learn something fast.** `/last30days Nano Banana Pro prompting` - JSON-structured prompts are replacing tag soup. @pictsbyai's nested format prevents "concept bleeding." Edit-first workflow beats regeneration. Then it writes you a production prompt using exactly what the community said works.

## What v3 Changed

### Shareable HTML briefs

Ask for an HTML brief and the skill saves a self-contained, dark-mode, print-friendly file you can drop into Slack, email, or Notion. No raw markdown leaks. Inline CSS, system-font fallbacks behind Inter and JetBrains Mono. No JavaScript. Works offline.

```
/last30days OpenClaw --emit=html
```

or just ask in plain language:

```
/last30days OpenClaw, give me a shareable HTML brief
/last30days Cursor IDE for slack
/last30days Anthropic earnings export as html
```

The skill emits the synthesis in chat as usual AND saves a brief to `${LAST30DAYS_MEMORY_DIR}/{topic}-brief.html` (defaults to `~/Documents/Last30Days/`). The chat response ends with the file path so you can `open` it or drag it into a message.

What's in the file: badge, inline metadata line, the model's synthesis verbatim with all citations, the engine footer (✅ All agents reported back! tree), and a colophon noting the topic + how to re-run. Data quality warnings (degraded run, thin evidence, etc.) stay in the engine's stderr logs; they never leak into the shareable artifact.

For direct CLI use without the model in the loop, the engine also accepts `--synthesis-file PATH` to convert any markdown synthesis to HTML.

### Intelligent search: the killer feature

The v3 engine doesn't just search for your topic. It figures out *where* to search before the search begins. Type "OpenClaw" and the engine resolves @steipete (Peter Steinberger, the creator), r/openclaw, r/ClaudeCode, and the right YouTube channels and TikTok hashtags - all via a new Python pre-research brain built by [@j-sperling](https://github.com/j-sperling). The old engine searched keywo
