Readme fails 1 of 8 AI readiness checks

Opportunity

AI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: names who it is for. One audience phrase ("for developers"); say who the plugin is for and what they use it for.

What to do: Rewrite the readme so each failed check passes: say the job in the first line, answer real questions in the FAQ, name who it is for and what it works with, and use headings and lists. For the same check on your plugin's own website, run the free AI visibility scan from AgentVania.
