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 codestoryai/sidecar, 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 clarify its role as an IDE AI companion
Why:
CURRENTSidecar is the AI brains of Aide the editor. To accomplish the work of creating the prompts, talking to LLM and everything else in between Sidecar is responsible for making sure it all works together.
COPY-PASTE FIXSidecar is an AI companion and code intelligence engine designed to integrate locally with your IDE, specifically serving as the 'brains' for the Aide editor. It provides real-time code generation, analysis, and assistance directly within your development environment.
- mediumtopics#2Add more specific topics to improve categorization
Why:
CURRENTai, artificial-intelligence, codegen, copilot, copilot-chat, llm, rust, typescript
COPY-PASTE FIXai, artificial-intelligence, codegen, copilot, copilot-chat, llm, rust, typescript, ide-companion, code-intelligence, developer-tools, ai-assistant, local-ai
- lowcomparison#3Add a 'How Sidecar Compares' section to the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## How Sidecar Compares Unlike general LLM inference engines (e.g., Ollama, LM Studio) or foundational models (e.g., Code Llama), Sidecar is purpose-built as an AI companion for IDEs. It focuses on deep, real-time integration with your local codebase and development environment, providing context-aware code intelligence and assistance directly within the Aide editor, rather than just running models or serving as a generic API.
