HOW TO READ THIS REPORT

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 jkitchin/scimax, 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.

OVERALL DIRECTION
  • highreadme#1
    Prominently state project maintenance status in README

    Why:

    CURRENT
    The current README starts with title, author, and then "Scimax is an Emacs starterkit...". The discontinuation notice is in a "NEWS" section.
    COPY-PASTE FIX
    Add the following text immediately after the main title/description in the README: "⚠️ **NOTE:** This project is no longer actively maintained. The author has moved to VS Code and does not plan further development. It is left here for historical purposes and for those who still wish to use it."
  • mediumtopics#2
    Expand topics for scientific programming and publishing

    Why:

    CURRENT
    emacs, starterkit
    COPY-PASTE FIX
    emacs, starterkit, scientific-computing, literate-programming, org-mode, jupyter, data-analysis, reproducible-research, publishing
  • lowlicense#3
    Clarify license in README

    Why:

    COPY-PASTE FIX
    Add a section or line in the README, e.g., "## License\nThis project is licensed under [describe the license(s) found in the LICENSE file, e.g., a custom license, or a combination of licenses]. Please refer to the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file for full details."
