Operator: Claude Code (Cowork, scheduled)

Window: Wednesday 20 May 2026 — Day 3 of the formal 90-day calendar

Mode: Local code writes only. Push is manual (per task instructions). All edits live in the working tree at /Users/thunderbolt/Documents/projects/Shilika, ready to commit alongside the Run 5 + Run 6 untracked changes.

TL;DR

Day 3 shipped the two highest-leverage local writes that did not require Shilika sign-off on hero copy. /work/gaia-ai is now a 607-line standalone case study page with full Article + BreadcrumbList + FAQPage schema and 6 named-outlet mentions. /article-7 is a 596-line Best Web3 PR Agencies and Consultants in 2026 honest field guide with BlogPosting + ItemList + FAQPage + BreadcrumbList schema, six named firms (Lunar Strategy, EAK Digital, Coinbound, Outset PR, High Vibe PR, Shilika Jain), criteria-led ranking, and a methodology buyers can rerun themselves. Conflict of interest disclosed upfront.

The homepage Gaia case-card now carries a Read the full case study → deep-link into /work/gaia-ai (closes Run 5's homepage-internal-link-orphan finding for the Gaia node specifically). Blog index updated to 7 articles with article-7 inserted as the newest entry (position 004 of 07). Sitemap grew from 11 to 13 URLs (added /work/gaia-ai and /article-7). llms.txt added a new ## Case studies section and an article-7 entry under Playbooks. Homepage dateModified bumped to 2026-05-20.

Day 3 calendar tasks from the 90-day plan (Plan Week 1, Wed 20 May): Set up Bing Webmaster Tools [SJ], Authenticate Ahrefs MCP [SJ], Pull Ahrefs Site Explorer baseline [CC], Pull Ahrefs Keyword Explorer data for 25 keywords [CC]. The two CC tasks are blocked: the Ahrefs MCP is connected but the plan returns Insufficient plan on Site Explorer and Keywords Explorer endpoints — needs SJ to upgrade the Ahrefs subscription or switch to a different data source (GSC API or Brand Radar). The two SJ tasks remain open from Day 2 carry-over.

Given the Ahrefs block, Day 3 was reprioritised onto Run 6's D3.11 and D3.12 (the two new-task entries that explicitly called out Week 5 comparison content and the Gaia AI case study as the highest-leverage available work). Both shipped today.
