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 guywaldman/magic-cli, 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#1Reposition the README's opening sentence to clarify its core function
Why:
CURRENTMagic CLI is a command line utility which uses LLMs to help you use the command line more efficiently, inspired by projects such as Amazon Q (prev. Fig terminal) and GitHub Copilot for CLI.
COPY-PASTE FIXMagic CLI is an AI-powered terminal assistant and command-line utility that uses LLMs to help you use your shell more efficiently, inspired by projects like Amazon Q (prev. Fig terminal) and GitHub Copilot for CLI.
- mediumreadme#2Add a sentence to the README highlighting its Rust foundation and local LLM capabilities
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXBuilt with Rust, Magic CLI offers fast, secure, and efficient command suggestions, generation, and semantic search of your shell history, supporting both local (e.g., Ollama) and remote LLMs.
- lowcomparison#3Add a 'Comparison' or 'Why Magic CLI?' section to the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## Comparison / Why Magic CLI? Magic CLI differentiates itself from tools like Fig, Warp, and ShellGPT by offering a Rust-native solution for AI-powered command suggestions, generation, and semantic search of your shell history. It provides flexible LLM integration, supporting both local models via Ollama and remote services like OpenAI and Anthropic, giving users full control over their AI backend.
