What we found
Update cadence is slipping
Needs workLast updated 16 months ago. Freshness is one of the strongest directory-ranking signals.
What to do: Get back on a visible release cadence, even minor releases.
Readme fails 4 of 8 AI readiness checks
Needs workAI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: names who it is for, names what it works with, enough to quote and tags match the text. One audience phrase ("perfect for"); 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.
