What we found
Readme fails 3 of 8 AI readiness checks
Needs workAI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: has a faq, faq asks real questions and names who it is for. Only 1 question in the FAQ; 3 or more gives an assistant something to match.
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.
