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 Michael-A-Kuykendall/shimmy, 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#1Clarify the README's opening statement to emphasize LLM inference
Why:
CURRENTThe README's initial H1 is followed by a tagline and then sponsorship information.
COPY-PASTE FIXAdd the following sentence directly after the H1 and tagline: "Shimmy is a Python-free Rust inference server providing 100% OpenAI-compatible endpoints for GGUF and SafeTensors models, enabling local, private, and dependency-free LLM inference."
- mediumabout#2Add a homepage URL to the repository's About section
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXhttps://github.com/Michael-A-Kuykendall/shimmy
- lowreadme#3Streamline the README's introductory section
Why:
CURRENTThe README excerpt includes empty `[]()` links and a prominent sponsorship section immediately after the main title.
COPY-PASTE FIXRemove any empty `[]()` links and consider moving the "Support Shimmy's Growth" section further down the README, allowing the core value proposition to be more prominent in the initial view.
