What it is
last30days is a skill for AI coding agents such as Claude Code. You give it a topic, and it searches sources like Reddit, X, YouTube, Hacker News, and Polymarket in parallel, then has an AI agent combine the results into one brief. It ranks results by how much real people engaged with them, such as upvotes, likes, or betting odds, rather than by search-engine ranking.
- Research a person before a meeting using their recent posts, videos, and GitHub activity
- Check what the community is saying about a product or travel topic over the last month
- Look up prediction-market odds on a news topic alongside public discussion
- Search a local folder of Markdown or text files as one of the sources
Great for
- People who want a recent, community-driven picture of a topic from the past 30 days
- Developers who use Claude Code or another Agent Skills host and want research inside their agent
- Someone preparing for a meeting who wants recent public posts about a person or company
- Users who are comfortable adding API keys or browser sessions for extra sources
Not ideal for
- Anyone needing guaranteed, verified facts, since the summary is built from social posts and the README does not describe fact-checking
- People who won't set up credentials, because many sources are only available after configuration
- Users who need a standalone app with a graphical interface; this is a skill for an agent host
How to get it
- 1
Install with a package manager
You'll need: An AI agent host that supports Agent Skills, such as Claude Code
Install in Claude Code (from README)
/plugin marketplace add mvanhorn/last30days-skillInstall the plugin (from README)
/plugin install last30daysInstall for other agent hosts (from README)
npx skills add mvanhorn/last30days-skill -g - 2
Run it
- Install the skill using one of the commands above in your agent host
- Run /last30days with a topic, for example /last30days Peter Steinberger
- Run the setup wizard the README mentions to unlock additional sources like X and YouTube
- Ask the skill to include specific sources you need, since availability depends on credentials and opt-ins
- 3
Get the most out of it
- Run the setup wizard to enable X, YouTube, TikTok, arXiv, and Techmeme beyond the zero-config sources
- Name specific sources in your request, such as --search xhs or --search devto, when you need them
- Add a local corpus with --corpus or LAST30DAYS_CORPUS_DIRS to search your own documents
- Read CONFIGURATION.md for source requirements before enabling paid or credit-based sources like Amazon
Downloads
Strengths
- Covers many sources in one query, and the README says Reddit, HN, Polymarket, and GitHub work with no setup
- Ranks results by real engagement signals, which the README presents as its main idea
- MIT licensed and installable with a single command across several agent hosts
Trade-offs
- Many sources need your own API keys, tokens, or browser sessions, and availability depends on configuration
- The README is truncated and the synthesis quality and accuracy cannot be verified from it alone
- Engagement-based ranking favors popular posts, which may not reflect expertise or accuracy
