Setup: Find Skill Root

for dir in \
  "." \
  "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-}" \
  "${GEMINI_EXTENSION_DIR:-}" \
  "$HOME/.gemini/extensions/last30days-skill" \
  "$HOME/.gemini/extensions/last30days" \
  "$HOME/.claude/skills/last30days" \
  "$HOME/.agents/skills/last30days" \
  "$HOME/.codex/skills/last30days"; do
  [ -n "$dir" ] && [ -f "$dir/scripts/last30days.py" ] && SKILL_ROOT="$dir" && break
done

if [ -z "${SKILL_ROOT:-}" ]; then
  echo "ERROR: Could not find scripts/last30days.py" >&2
  exit 1
fi

Use $SKILL_ROOT for all script and reference file paths.
