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 owasp-noir/noir, 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.
- highreadme#1Clarify project's purpose and differentiate from ZKP 'Noir' language in README
Why:
CURRENTNoir is a SAST tool that reads source code and extracts the endpoints an application exposes — paths, methods, parameters, headers, cookies, and the source files behind them.
COPY-PASTE FIX**OWASP Noir is a Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tool for API security, distinct from the 'Noir' programming language for Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP).** It reads source code to extract and map all exposed endpoints — paths, methods, parameters, headers, cookies, and the source files behind them.
- mediumtopics#2Add more specific topics to improve category recall
Why:
CURRENTapi-security, attack-surfaces, crystal, devsecops, endpoints, hacktoberfest, owasp, owasp-noir, pentesting, security, shadow-api
COPY-PASTE FIXapi-security, attack-surfaces, crystal, devsecops, endpoints, hacktoberfest, owasp, owasp-noir, pentesting, security, shadow-api, sast, static-analysis, application-security, api-discovery
- mediumreadme#3Add a 'Comparison to Alternatives' section in the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXAdd a new section to the README, e.g., `## Comparison to Alternatives`, that briefly outlines how OWASP Noir's focus on static API endpoint discovery and attack surface mapping differentiates it from DAST tools (like OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite), API management tools (like Postman, OpenAPI Generator), and general-purpose SAST tools (like Semgrep, CodeQL).
