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 probelabs/probe, 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#1Reposition the README's opening paragraph to clarify its core purpose for AI assistants
Why:
CURRENTWe read code 10x more than we write it. Probe is a code and markdown context engine, with a built-in agent, made to work on enterprise-scale codebases.
COPY-PASTE FIXProbe is an AI-friendly semantic code search engine for large codebases. It combines ripgrep speed with tree-sitter AST parsing to power AI coding assistants with precise, context-aware code understanding. We read code 10x more than we write it. Probe is a code and markdown context engine, with a built-in agent, made to work on enterprise-scale codebases.
- mediumtopics#2Add more specific topics related to AI assistant integration and RAG for code
Why:
CURRENTai, ai-coder, ast, cli, code-search, mcp, nodejs-sdk, ripgrep, rust, search-engine, semantic-search, tree-sitter
COPY-PASTE FIXai, ai-coder, ast, cli, code-search, mcp, nodejs-sdk, ripgrep, rust, search-engine, semantic-search, tree-sitter, ai-assistants, rag-for-code, llm-tools, code-intelligence
- lowreadme#3Add a 'Comparison' section to the README to differentiate from alternatives
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXAdd a new top-level section to the README, e.g., '## Probe vs. Alternatives', explaining how Probe specifically differs from and complements tools like Sourcegraph, Semgrep, and general ML models for code understanding in AI contexts.
