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 tw93/Kaku, 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#1Reinforce Kaku's identity as a terminal emulator in the README's 'Why' section
Why:
CURRENTKaku (書く, かく) is the Japanese word for writing: the act of putting thought into form. A deeply customized fork of WezTerm, built for practical defaults on day one while keeping full Lua customization and a fast, lightweight feel. Part of a trilogy: Kaku (書く) writes code, Waza (技) drills habits, Kami (紙) ships documents. Think of them as a family: Kaku is the dad, Waza the big sister, Kami the little sister.
COPY-PASTE FIXKaku (書く, かく) is the Japanese word for writing: the act of putting thought into form. This project is a deeply customized fork of WezTerm, built as a fast, out-of-the-box terminal emulator specifically for AI coding workflows on macOS. Kaku provides practical defaults on day one while keeping full Lua customization and a fast, lightweight feel. It is part of a trilogy: Kaku (書く) writes code, Waza (技) drills habits, Kami (紙) ships documents. Think of them as a family: Kaku is the dad, Waza the big sister, Kami the little sister.
- mediumreadme#2Add a 'Comparison to Alternatives' section in the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## Comparison to Alternatives Kaku is a deeply customized fork of WezTerm, but it differentiates itself by offering zero-config practical defaults specifically for AI coding on macOS. Unlike generic terminal emulators such as Alacritty, iTerm2, or Kitty, Kaku provides a curated shell suite, theme-aware experience, and a stripped-down GPU-accelerated core for a faster, lighter, and more tailored experience out-of-the-box.
- lowreadme#3Clarify the project's license in the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## License This project is licensed under a custom license. Please refer to the `LICENSE.md` file for full details on the specific terms and conditions that apply.
