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 trailofbits/deepstate, 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 to emphasize its unifying framework role
Why:
CURRENTDeepState is a framework that provides C and C++ developers with a common interface to various symbolic execution and fuzzing engines.
COPY-PASTE FIXDeepState is a **unifying framework** for C/C++ that provides a **Google Test-like interface** to *multiple* symbolic execution and fuzzing engines, abstracting away their individual complexities. It allows developers to write one test harness and execute it across various backends like AFL++, LibFuzzer, KLEE, and Angr.
- mediumcomparison#2Add a 'Comparison with other tools' section to the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## Comparison with other tools DeepState is not a fuzzer or symbolic execution engine itself, but rather a framework that sits *above* these tools. While tools like AFL++, LibFuzzer, KLEE, and Angr are powerful engines for finding bugs, DeepState provides a common, Google Test-like API to leverage them all from a single test harness. This means you don't need to learn the intricacies of each individual engine; instead, you write your tests once in DeepState and choose your preferred backend(s) for execution.
- lowhomepage#3Add a homepage URL to the repository's About section
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXAdd your project's official website or documentation URL (e.g., `https://deepstate.io` or `https://trailofbits.github.io/deepstate/`) to the 'Homepage' field in the repository's 'About' section.
