Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface Nano-Collective/nanocoder, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.
Action plan — copy-paste fixes
3 prioritized changes generated by gemini-2.5-flash. Mark items done after you ship the fix.
- highreadme#1Reposition README H1 and opening paragraph to clarify core purpose and disambiguate 'Nano'
Why:
CURRENT# Nanocoder A local-first CLI coding agent built by the Nano Collective — a community collective building AI tooling not for profit, but for the community.
COPY-PASTE FIX# Nanocoder: Your Local-First AI Coding Agent for the Terminal Nanocoder is a powerful, local-first AI coding agent designed for your terminal. Built by the Nano Collective, it brings agentic coding capabilities, similar to Claude Code or Gemini CLI, to local models and controlled APIs like OpenRouter. This project is focused on AI development, not cryptocurrency.
- mediumreadme#2Add a clear statement about the project's license to the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## License This project is licensed under [insert specific license name(s) here, e.g., "a custom license combining MIT and Apache-2.0 terms"]. Please see the [LICENSE file](LICENSE) for full details.
- lowcomparison#3Add a 'Comparison to Alternatives' section in the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## Comparison to Alternatives Nanocoder differentiates itself from tools like GitHub Copilot CLI, Aider, and Continue by focusing on local-first operation, community-driven development, and explicit support for various local LLMs and controlled APIs like OpenRouter, prioritizing privacy and user control. Unlike some alternatives, Nanocoder is built from the ground up to be transparent and extensible by its community.
