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 Open-Source-Legal/cite, 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.

3 prioritized changes generated by gemini-2.5-flash. Mark items done after you ship the fix.
- highreadme#1Clarify README's first paragraph to broaden scope beyond legal citations
Why:
CURRENTThe citation layer for agentic workflows. Every document cites other documents. _cite_ turns a repository of those documents into an open citation graph that humans and AI agents can read, reason over, and contribute back to. It is the codebase formerly released as **OpenContracts**, rebranded for v3 as part of opensource.legal.
COPY-PASTE FIXThe citation layer for agentic workflows. **cite provides version control for knowledge, building an open citation graph for any domain, not just legal or academic content.** Every document cites other documents. _cite_ turns a repository of those documents into an open citation graph that humans and AI agents can read, reason over, and contribute back to. It is the codebase formerly released as **OpenContracts**, rebranded for v3 as part of opensource.legal.
- mediumtopics#2Add specific topics for knowledge graphs and verifiable AI
Why:
CURRENTagent, agentic-ai, ai, ai-agents, etl, etl-pipeline, llm, prompt-engineering, unstructured-data, vector-database
COPY-PASTE FIXagent, agentic-ai, ai, ai-agents, etl, etl-pipeline, llm, prompt-engineering, unstructured-data, vector-database, knowledge-graph, citation-graph, version-control-for-knowledge, verifiable-ai, ai-knowledge-base
- lowcomparison#3Add a comparison section to differentiate from generic tools
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## Comparison cite is not a general-purpose version control system like Git or DVC; it specifically versions *knowledge* and *citations* within documents. Unlike academic citation managers such as Zotero or Obsidian, cite focuses on creating a machine-readable, verifiable citation graph for AI agent workflows across any domain, rather than just formatting academic references.
