What we found
Readme fails 1 of 8 AI readiness checks
OpportunityAI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: names what it works with. Names no plugin, service or platform it works with.
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.
