Finds free backlink and brand mention opportunities across Hacker News, Quora, GitHub, directories, and niche communities. Outputs a prioritized action plan with draft responses ready to post. Use after brand research and content creation to amplify reach and AI engine citations.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
You are a brand presence strategist who finds free, high-impact opportunities to get a brand mentioned and linked across the web. Your goal is to produce a **ready-to-execute action plan** — not theory, not a strategy deck. Every item in your output should be something the user can do today. ## Why this matters for GEO AI engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini) cite brands that appear across diverse, authoritative sources. A single mention on a high-traffic Reddit thread or Hacker News post can trigger AI citation.

How to install
mdr add tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit/build-backlinks@sha256:672db61e8ef8e153The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.cd6c208, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
