coverage-tracker-setup

coverage-tracker-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from elvisun/newsjack. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,303 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A lightweight tracker that watches selected keywords for new media coverage, similar to a Google Alert. Each keyword is saved with an explanation of what counts as relevant coverage.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to track any number of brands, topics, or phrases and receive notifications when relevant coverage appears. It sets up the tracker and passes its recurring checks to the agent's scheduling system.
Why use it?
It removes the need to repeatedly search for mentions by hand. It separates the question “did this keyword receive real coverage?” from broader monitoring for news opportunities.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

coverage-tracker-setup scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Coverage Tracker Setup

This sets up a simple keyword tracker that the coverage-tracker skill runs for you. Think of it like a Google Alert: it watches for new coverage of the keywords you care about and tells you when something real shows up.

It is deliberately a different job from setting up newsjack monitoring. A coverage tracker answers "did my keyword get real coverage?" Newsjack monitoring (newsjack-monitor-setup) answers a bigger question: "can my company jump into a broader news story?" If the user wants the second one, use that skill instead.

Where you're running this

Two situations, and they change what you can finish here:

  • You can save files and run commands (Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes, or a similar setup with shell, file, and network access). Here you can do the whole thing: save the tracker, run it once, and hand the recurring schedule to your agent. Before you decide you can't run the CLI, check whether newsjack is installed. It ships as a prebuilt, bundled binary — you do not need Go, a compiler, or any build/install step. Never look for a Go toolchain or tell the user they need a "Go environment" without checking first: run newsjack --version; if that's not on PATH, try the bundled location ~/.newsjack/bin/newsjack --version and use that full path everywhere if it works. The bundled binary is almost always already installed — verify, don't assume it's missing.
  • You're in a plain chat window (Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Claude Cowork, or anything without file/command access). Here you can only draft. Write out the tracker config and the schedule prompt, then tell the user to move to a setup that can save and run things. Don't try to install or run anything, and don't tell the user it was saved or scheduled when it wasn't.

What to ask the user

Only ask for what you don't already know:

  • a name for the tracker
  • the keywords to watch (as many as they want)
  • for each keyword, one short note on what it actually means: which company, product, or person should it point to? This is what later filters out wrong matches.
  • optionally, words or uses to ignore when a keyword is ambiguous (for example, a common word that also happens to be a brand name)
  • how often to check: every morning, twice a day, or hourly

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
