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 securego/gosec, 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
  • mediumreadme#1
    Refine README's opening sentence for clearer positioning

    Why:

    CURRENT
    Inspects source code for security problems by scanning the Go AST and SSA code representation.
    COPY-PASTE FIX
    Gosec is a static analysis tool designed to detect potential security vulnerabilities in Go source code, primarily serving Go developers and security teams.
  • mediumreadme#2
    Add a 'Comparison' or 'Why Gosec?' section to the README

    Why:

    COPY-PASTE FIX
    ## Why Gosec?
While general-purpose SAST tools like Snyk Code or SonarQube offer broad language support, Gosec is purpose-built for Go. It leverages deep Go AST and SSA code representation analysis to provide highly accurate and Go-idiomatic security vulnerability detection, making it an essential tool for Go developers and security teams focused on their Go codebase.
  • lowtopics#3
    Add 'sast' to repository topics

    Why:

    CURRENT
    golang, security, security-automation, security-tools, static-analysis, static-code-analysis
    COPY-PASTE FIX
    golang, security, security-automation, security-tools, static-analysis, static-code-analysis, sast
