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 lgrammel/rubberduck-vscode, 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.

Rubberduck can [generate code](#generate-code), [edit code](#edit-code), [explain code](#explain-code), [generate tests](#generate-tests), [find bugs](#find-bugs), [diagnose errors](#diagnose-errors), and more. You can even add [your own conversation templates](#custom-conversations).
COPY-PASTE FIXRubberduck brings AI chat, code generation, editing, explanation, and error diagnosis directly into Visual Studio Code, powered by the official OpenAI API.
