# last30days v2.9.5: Research Any Topic from the Last 30 Days

> **Permissions overview:** Reads public web/platform data and optionally saves research briefings to `~/Documents/Last30Days/`. X/Twitter search uses optional user-provided tokens (AUTH_TOKEN/CT0 env vars). Bluesky search uses optional app password (BSKY_HANDLE/BSKY_APP_PASSWORD env vars - create at bsky.app/settings/app-passwords). All credential usage and data writes are documented in the [Security & Permissions](#security--permissions) section.

Research ANY topic across Reddit, X, YouTube, and other sources. Surface what people are actually discussing, recommending, betting on, and debating right now.

## Runtime Preflight

Before running any `last30days.py` command in this skill, resolve a Python 3.12+ interpreter once and keep it in `LAST30DAYS_PYTHON`:

```bash
for py in python3.14 python3.13 python3.12 python3; do
  command -v "$py" >/dev/null 2>&1 || continue
  "$py" -c 'import sys; raise SystemExit(0 if sys.version_info >= (3, 12) else 1)' || continue
  LAST30DAYS_PYTHON="$py"
  break
done

if [ -z "${LAST30DAYS_PYTHON:-}" ]; then
  echo "ERROR: last30days v3 requires Python 3.12+. Install python3.12 or python3.13 and rerun." >&2
  exit 1
fi
```

## Step 0: First-Run Setup Wizard

**CRITICAL: ALWAYS execute Step 0 BEFORE Step 1, even if the user provided a topic.** If the user typed `/last30days Mercer Island`, you MUST check for FIRST_RUN and present the wizard BEFORE running research. The topic "Mercer Island" is preserved — research runs immediately after the wizard completes. Do NOT skip the wizard because a topic was provided. The wizard takes 10 seconds and only runs once ever.

To detect first run: check if `~/.config/last30days/.env` exists. If it does NOT exist, this is a first run. **Do NOT run any Bash commands or show any command output to detect this — just check the file existence silently.** If the file exists and contains `SETUP_COMPLETE=true`, skip this section **silently** and proceed to Step 1. **Do NOT say "Setup is complete" or any other status message — just move on.** The user doesn't need to be told setup is done every time they run the skill.

**When first run is detected, detect your platform first:**

**If you do NOT have WebSearch capability (OpenClaw, Codex, raw CLI):** Run the OpenClaw setup flow below.
**If you DO have WebSearch (Claude Code):** Run the standard setup flow below.

---

### OpenClaw / Non-WebSearch Setup Flow

Run environment detection first:
```bash
"${LAST30DAYS_PYTHON}" "${SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/last30days.py" setup --openclaw
```

Read the JSON output. It tells you what's already configured. Display a status summary:

```
👋 Welcome to /last30days!

Detected:
{✅ or ❌} yt-dlp (YouTube search)
{✅ or ❌} X/Twitter ({method} configured)
{✅ or ❌} ScrapeCreators (TikTok, Instagram, Reddit backup)
{✅ or ❌} Web search ({backend} configured)
```

Then for each missing item, offer setup in priority order:

1. **ScrapeCreators** (if not configured): "ScrapeCreators adds TikTok and Instagram search (plus a Reddit backup if public Reddit gets rate-limited). 10,000 free calls, no credit card. (No referrals, no kickbacks - we don't get a cut.)"
   - Option A: "ScrapeCreators via GitHub (recommended)" -- Check if `gh` CLI was detected in the environment detection output above. If gh IS detected: description should say "Registers directly via GitHub CLI in ~2 seconds - no browser needed". Before running the command, display: "Registering via GitHub CLI..." If gh is NOT detected: description should say "Copies a one-time code to your clipboard and opens GitHub to authorize". Before running the command, display: "I'll copy a one-time code to your clipboard and open GitHub. When GitHub asks for a device code, just paste (Cmd+V / Ctrl+V)." Then run `"${LAST30DAYS_PYTHON}" "${SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/last30days.py" setup --github`, parse JSON output. Tries PAT first (if `gh` is installed), falls back to device flow which copies a one-time code to your clipboard and opens your browser. If `status` is `success`, write `SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY={api_key}` to .env.
   - Option B: "I have a key" -- accept paste, write to .env
   - Option C: "Skip for now"

2. **X/Twitter** (if not configured): "X search finds tweets and conversations. To unlock X: add FROM_BROWSER=auto (reads browser cookies, free), XAI_API_KEY (no browser access, api.x.ai), or AUTH_TOKEN+CT0 (manual cookies)."
   - Option A: "I have an xAI API key" (recommended for servers -- persistent, no expiry). Write XAI_API_KEY to .env.
   - Option B: "I have AUTH_TOKEN + CT0 from my browser" -- accept both, write to .env
   - Option C: "Skip for now"

3. **YouTube** (if yt-dlp not found): "YouTube search needs yt-dlp. Run: `pip install yt-dlp`"

4. **Web search** (if no Brave/Exa/Serper key): "A web search key enables smarter results. Brave Search is free for 2,000 queries/month at brave.com/search/api"

After setup, write `SETUP_COMPLETE=true` to .env and proceed to research.

**Skip to "END OF FIRST-RUN WIZARD" below after completing the OpenClaw flow.**

---

### Claude Code Setup Flow (Standard)

**You MUST follow these steps IN ORDER. Do NOT skip ahead to the topic picker or research. The sequence is: (1) welcome text -> (2) setup modal -> (3) run setup if chosen -> (4) optional ScrapeCreators modal -> (5) topic picker. You MUST start at step 1.**

**Step 1: Display the following welcome text ONCE as a normal message (not blockquoted). Then IMMEDIATELY call AskUserQuestion - do NOT repeat any of the welcome text inside the AskUserQuestion call.**

Welcome to /last30days!

I research any topic across Reddit, X, YouTube, and other sources - synthesizing what people are actually saying right now.

Auto setup gives you 5 core sources for free in 30 seconds:
- X/Twitter - reads your x.com browser cookies to authenticate (not saved to disk). Chrome on macOS will prompt for Keychain access.
- Reddit with comments - public JSON, no API key needed
- YouTube search + transcripts - installs yt-dlp (open source, 190K+ GitHub stars)
- Hacker News + Polymarket + GitHub (if `gh` CLI installed) - always on, zero config

Want TikTok and Instagram too? ScrapeCreators adds those (10,000 free calls, scrapecreators.com). No kickbacks, no affiliation.

**Then call AskUserQuestion with ONLY this question and these options - no additional text:**

Question: "How would you like to set up?"
Options:
- "Auto setup (~30 seconds) - scans browser cookies for X + installs yt-dlp for YouTube"
- "Manual setup - show me what to configure"
- "Skip for now - Reddit (with comments), HN, Polymarket, GitHub (if gh installed), Web"

**If the user picks 1 (Auto setup):**

**Before running the setup command, get cookie consent:**

Check if `BROWSER_CONSENT=true` already exists in `~/.config/last30days/.env`. If it does, skip the consent prompt and run setup directly.

If `BROWSER_CONSENT=true` is NOT present, **call AskUserQuestion:**
Question: "Auto setup will scan your browser for x.com cookies to authenticate X search. Cookies are read live, not saved to disk. Chrome on macOS will prompt for Keychain access. OK to proceed?"
Options:
- "Yes, scan my cookies for X" - Run setup as normal. Append `BROWSER_CONSENT=true` to .env after setup completes.
- "Skip X, just set up YouTube" - Run setup with YouTube only (install yt-dlp). Do not scan cookies.
- "I have an xAI API key instead" - Ask them to paste it, write XAI_API_KEY to .env. Then install yt-dlp.

Run the setup subcommand:
```bash
