Use the Last 30 Days Skill to Research What People Said About Any Topic This Month

Give Claude a topic and get one brief of what people actually said about it in the last 30 days, with sources.

Overview

By the end of this guide, you'll have:

  • The skill installed in Claude Code.

  • A first brief on a topic you care about.

  • A clear view of which sources are free and which need setup.

Who This Is For

  • You want to know what your market is talking about right now.

  • You create content and need real questions and complaints.

  • You want sources you can check, not a summary from memory.

What You'll Need

  • Claude Code.

  • A topic.

  • Optional: accounts or keys for extra sources. You can skip all of them.

The Core Idea

The skill searches many platforms for the last 30 days, ranks results by engagement, and writes one cited brief. Reddit, Hacker News, Polymarket, GitHub and StockTwits work with no setup. Other sources need credentials, installed tools or an opt-in.

Quick Terms

  • Skill: a saved set of instructions Claude can follow when it is needed.

  • API key: a private code that lets a tool use a service on your account. Treat it like a password.

  • Cookies: small files your browser keeps so sites remember you. Some setup options read them, so be careful.
