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 cmu-sei/GHOSTS, 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.
- highabout#1Refine the 'About' description for precision
Why:
CURRENTGHOSTS (General Human-Oriented Synthetic Teammates and Systems) is a realistic user simulation framework for cyber experimentation, simulation, training, and exercise
COPY-PASTE FIXGHOSTS (General Human-Oriented Synthetic Teammates and Systems) is a framework for **simulating realistic human user behavior and network activity** in cyber environments, enabling high-fidelity **cybersecurity training, exercises, and research**.
- highreadme#2Add a clarifying sentence to the README's opening
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXAdd this sentence immediately after the H1/tagline: "Unlike attack simulation or red-teaming tools, GHOSTS focuses on generating authentic human-like activity and network traffic from simulated users for defensive training and research."
- mediumtopics#3Add topics for AI/LLM agents
Why:
CURRENTbehavior, cyber, cybersecurity, cybertraining, exercise, human, network-simulation, network-simulations, network-simulator, simulation, simulation-modeling, training, user-simulator
COPY-PASTE FIXbehavior, cyber, cybersecurity, cybertraining, exercise, human, network-simulation, network-simulations, network-simulator, simulation, simulation-modeling, training, user-simulator, llm-agents, ai-agents
