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 MadcowD/ell, 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 README opening to explicitly link repo name to project and purpose
Why:
CURRENT`ell` is a lightweight, functional prompt engineering framework built on a few core principles:
COPY-PASTE FIXThe `MadcowD/ell` repository hosts `ell`, a lightweight, functional prompt engineering framework for large language models. It focuses on treating prompts as programs and offers rich tooling for prompt versioning and optimization.
- mediumtopics#2Expand topics with more specific LLM framework terms
Why:
CURRENTai, prompt-engineering
COPY-PASTE FIXai, prompt-engineering, llm-framework, python-library, prompt-optimization, prompt-versioning
- mediumcomparison#3Add a comparison section to the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXAdd a new section, e.g., '## Why `ell`?' or '## `ell` vs. other frameworks', that explains `ell`'s unique approach to prompt engineering (prompts as programs, automatic versioning, local store for optimization) compared to general LLM orchestration libraries.
