last30days

What it does

Researches a topic across many internet sources from the last 30 days specifically. Pulls fresh data from:

  • Reddit
  • X (Twitter)
  • Bluesky
  • Truth Social
  • YouTube
  • TikTok
  • Instagram
  • Hacker News
  • Polymarket
  • Web search

Synthesizes everything into an expert-level summary with copy-paste-ready prompts you can hand to the rest of the pipeline.

When to use it

At the brief & setup stage when you want fresh trend / hook / competitor research before scripting starts. Examples:

  • "What's trending in the magnesium supplement niche right now?"
  • "What hooks are working for menopause content this month?"
  • "Which AI video creators are blowing up in the last 30 days?"
  • "What's the conversation around cortisol detox products?"

If your research is older than 30 days or you need historical context, use notebooklm or general web search instead.

The Researcher (Viral Scanner) uses this skill internally — but you can also invoke it directly when you want fast trend intel without going through the full Researcher process.

How to invoke

You: research what hooks are working for magnesium supplements in the last 30 days

Claude: [triggers last30days, scans the listed sources, synthesizes findings]

Trigger phrases:

  • "research [topic] from the last 30 days"
  • "last30 [topic]"
  • "what's trending in [niche]"
  • "what are creators doing for [topic] right now"

What you get back

A structured report typically including:

  • Top hooks observed across platforms with concrete examples
  • Recurring formats (POV / talking head / mixed-media / etc.)
  • Trending angles (the emotional or narrative entry points working right now)
  • Specific creators worth modeling with handle + follower count
  • Copy-paste-ready prompts you can hand to the Script Writer / Visual Planner

Example session

You: last30 what hooks are working for menopause content on TikTok

Claude: Pulling from Reddit, X, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram from the
        last 30 days...

        Top hooks observed (by frequency and engagement):

        1. "My doctor never told me this about menopause..."
           Used by 7 creators with 100K+ views each. Pattern:
           authority-betrayal opener, then a single specific symptom.

        2. "I thought I was losing my mind. Turns out it was perimenopause"
           Confessional opener. 4 creators viral in last 14 days.

        3. Symptom-cluster cold-open with on-screen text:
           "If you're a woman over 40 with: brain fog, mood swings,
            and 3am wakeups — keep watching."

        Recurring formats: mostly talking head, secondary mixed-media
        recipe demos. POV "looking at the mirror" hook briefly viral
        but already cooling.

        Three creators worth studying: [@handle], [@handle], [@handle]
        — each documented their format publicly.

Limitations

  • 30-day window is hard — won't surface older trends. Use for "what's hot right now," not "what's been working historically."
  • Doesn't have access to private content (DMs, locked accounts, paid newsletters)
  • Source quality varies — Reddit and X may have noise; YouTube and TikTok favor what's algorithmically promoted, which doesn't always equal "what's working"
  • Doesn't replace doing your own viewing — read the actual viral clips, don't just rely on synthesized summaries
