Downloads are cooling

Needs work

30-day download momentum is -13% while the Uncategorized category median is 0%. The decline is steeper than the market, which points at something plugin-specific.

What to do: A coordinated content and outreach push can re-ignite installs.

Readme fails 6 of 8 AI readiness checks

Needs work

AI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: has a faq, faq asks real questions, names who it is for, names what it works with, headings and lists and enough to quote. No FAQ section.

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.
