What we found
Readme fails 6 of 8 AI readiness checks
Needs workAI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: says what it does, has a faq, faq asks real questions, names who it is for, headings and lists and enough to quote. Short description names no action; say what the plugin does for the site.
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.

What to do: Run a structured in-plugin review prompt and a review campaign.

What to do: A WP Mayor review and placement can put it in front of the right audience.
