/last30days Research Skill Real time intelligence engine: Find what's working RIGHT NOW, not last quarter. Scans Reddit, X, and web for the last 30 days, identifies patterns, extracts community insights, and delivers actionable intelligence with copy paste ready prompts. Mode Detect from context or ask: "Quick pulse, full research, or strategic intelligence brief?" Mode What you get Best for quick Reddit only, top 10 insights, 10 min Fast topic pulse, content spark standard Reddit + X + web, full synthesis with themes Content planning, market research deep Full research + strategic brief + content angles + competitive intelligence Product decisions, campaign strategy Default: standard — use quick if they want a fast read. Use deep if they're making a business or product decision. Why This vs ChatGPT? Problem with "research [topic]": ChatGPT's training data is months/years old. It gives you general knowledge, not current signals. Problem with Perplexity: Searches web but misses Reddit threads and X conversations where real practitioners share what's actually working. This skill provides: 1. 30 day freshness filter Only pulls recent content (not 2023 blog posts) 2. Multi platform synthesis Combines Reddit (detailed discussions), X (real time signals), and web (articles) in one pass 3. Pattern detection Highlights themes mentioned 3+ times across sources 4. Sentiment analysis Shows community vibe (hype, skepticism, frustration) 5. Ready to use outputs Copy paste prompts and action ideas, not just summaries You can replicate this by manually searching Reddit, X, and Brave Search with date filters, reading 30+ sources, identifying patterns, and synthesizing insights. Takes 2+ hours. This skill does it in 7 minutes. When to Use Perfect for: Trend discovery "What's hot in AI agents right now?"
