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 microsoft/ebpf-for-windows, 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.

OVERALL DIRECTION

hightopics#1

Add relevant topics to improve categorization

Why:

COPY-PASTE FIX

ebpf, windows, kernel, observability, networking, security, system-programming, programmability, drivers

highreadme#2

Reposition README intro to clarify role in Windows kernel extension

Why:

CURRENT

eBPF is a well-known technology for providing programmability and agility, especially for extending an OS kernel, for use cases such as DoS protection and observability. This project is a work-in-progress that allows existing eBPF toolchains and APIs familiar in the Linux ecosystem to be used on top of Windows.
