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 SakanaAI/ShinkaEvolve, 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.
- hightopics#1Add specific topics to the repository
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXllm, evolutionary-algorithms, program-synthesis, scientific-discovery, code-generation, ai-scientist
- highreadme#2Strengthen the first body paragraph to emphasize the unique combination and problem solved
Why:
CURRENT`shinka` is a framework that combines Large Language Models (LLMs) with evolutionary algorithms to drive scientific discovery.
COPY-PASTE FIX`ShinkaEvolve` is a novel framework that uniquely combines Large Language Models (LLMs) with evolutionary algorithms to enable open-ended and sample-efficient program evolution, specifically for automated scientific discovery and code improvement.
- mediumreadme#3Add an explicit link to the documentation website in the README's introductory section
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXAdd a line such as: "Explore comprehensive guides and examples on our official documentation website: [https://sakanaai.github.io/ShinkaEvolve/](https://sakanaai.github.io/ShinkaEvolve/)" near the top of the README.
