SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Setting up ongoing monitoring of brand, company, or product mentions usually means manually configuring Google Alerts or building custom tooling. This Skill walks an agent through creating a keyword coverage tracker config, saving it via the newsjack CLI, and handing the recurring schedule to the user's agent harness.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tracker Config Creation: Builds a JSON config with a tracker name, lookback window, and keywords, each annotated with what it actually means and optional exclusion hints to filter wrong matches.
  • CLI Persistence: Saves the config with newsjack coverage init <slug> and supports updating existing trackers via newsjack coverage status and --force.
  • Agent-Native Scheduling: Schedules the recurring check as a prompt in the user's agent (Claude, Codex, Hermes, OpenClaw) instead of system-level cron or launchd.
  • Use Case: A startup wants to know whenever its product name gets real press coverage. The agent asks for keywords and their meanings, writes the config, saves it, schedules a daily check, and runs the first pass immediately.

Quick Start

Ask your agent to set up a coverage tracker for your company name and product keywords, then have it schedule a daily coverage-tracker run.

Frequently Asked Questions about coverage-tracker-setup

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up keyword coverage tracking for my brand?▼

Provide a tracker name, the keywords to watch, and a short note on what each keyword means. The agent writes a JSON config, saves it with newsjack coverage init, and schedules a recurring coverage-tracker run through your agent harness.

What is the difference between coverage tracking and newsjacking monitoring?▼

Coverage tracking answers whether your own keywords received real coverage, similar to a Google Alert. Newsjacking monitoring finds broader news stories your company could jump into, which requires standing, competitors, and proof assets configured in newsjack-monitor-setup.

Can I use this in a plain chat window without file access?▼

In a plain chat window the agent can only draft the tracker config and schedule prompt for you to save elsewhere. Full setup requires an environment with shell and file access, such as Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, or OpenClaw.

How do I update an existing coverage tracker?▼

Run newsjack coverage status with the tracker slug to find the config path, edit the keywords or meaning notes, then save again with newsjack coverage init using the --force flag. The seen-coverage database is managed separately and should not be edited.

Does the setup use cron or system schedulers?▼

No, recurring checks are scheduled as prompts through your agent's own scheduling capability. The Skill explicitly avoids system-level schedulers like cron, launchd, or systemd timers on the user's machine.
