AI Summary
→ WHAT IT COVERS Matt Van Horn demonstrates Last Thirty Days, a Claude Code skill that searches X, Reddit, and web content from the past 30 days to generate optimized prompts. The tool helps users stay current with rapidly changing AI trends and best practices without manually researching forums and social platforms. → KEY INSIGHTS - **Real-time trend research:** Last Thirty Days searches X (Twitter), Reddit, and web sources for content published within 30 days, then uses that data to generate expert-level prompts for Claude Code. Users can research any topic from rap songs to cold email frameworks to competitive analysis without reading through forums manually. - **Cold email framework automation:** The tool identifies trending email frameworks like the three P's (praise, picture, push), AIDA (attention, interest, desire, action), and intention-based data triggers. Users provide minimal context and receive three complete email variants with subject lines based on current best practices from marketing communities. - **API integration requirements:** Setting up Last Thirty Days requires three components: a Claude Code subscription ($20-200 monthly), an OpenAI API key for Reddit access through OpenAI's partnership, and an X AI key since standard X accounts cannot search the platform. This combination enables comprehensive social media and web research. - **Non-engineer workflow:** Van Horn recommends keeping ChatGPT open alongside Claude Code to troubleshoot errors through screenshots. He discovered control-v (not command-v) pastes screenshots into terminal. This parallel workflow allows non-technical users to build and deploy tools without reading or understanding the underlying code being generated. - **X growth strategy insights:** Research on follower growth reveals replying as the top strategy, with power users recommending 30-80 thoughtful replies daily, engaging 40 minutes before posting original content, targeting larger accounts, replying first consistently, and posting at least once daily five days per week for maximum algorithmic visibility. → NOTABLE MOMENT Van Horn demonstrates building an enterprise competitor to an open-source tool by combining Last Thirty Days research with Compound Engineering planning. The system generates a complete technical architecture document including multi-tenant SaaS platform specifications, security requirements, and phased development roadmap without Van Horn writing any code or reading implementation details. 💼 SPONSORS None detected 🏷️ Claude Code, AI Prompting, Cold Email, Social Media Research, No-Code Development
