Media Mentions Tracker

Tracks all external sources that mention the Claude Code Ultimate Guide (GitHub or cc.bruniaux.com).

This file remains guide-specific. The public cross-project catalog, including Cowork, StarMapper, CCBoard, CC-Copilot Bridge, ctxharness, Dep Scope, flow-lean, GSC MCP, and Claude Code Plugins, lives in src/data/mentions.json in the portfolio repository and is published at https://www.florian.bruniaux.com/mentions/. RTK is outside that catalog by design.

Source of truth

• mentions.yaml: one entry per confirmed mention.
• review-queue.yaml: inaccessible candidates and rejected false positives kept for future deduplication.

Schema

  notes: "..."               # Optional. Anything worth remembering (quote, context, SEO value).

Slash command

Run /track-mentions to search for new mentions via Perplexity and update this file automatically.

For unattended runs, use /track-mentions --scheduled. This mode produces a candidate report only: it must not modify either catalog or create a commit. The exact Perplexity prompt and review procedure live in perplexity-scheduled-search.md.

Validate the catalog and review queue after every accepted update:
