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 openai/universe-starter-agent, 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.
- hightopics#1Add relevant topics to improve categorization
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXreinforcement-learning, a3c, openai-universe, deep-learning, game-ai, deprecated, starter-agent
- highabout#2Update the 'About' description to reflect deprecation and successor
Why:
CURRENTA starter agent that can solve a number of universe environments.
COPY-PASTE FIXDEPRECATED: A starter agent for OpenAI Universe environments, implementing A3C. This project is superseded by OpenAI Retro (github.com/openai/retro).
- mediumreadme#3Reposition the README's core purpose statement to emphasize historical context
Why:
CURRENTThe codebase implements a starter agent that can solve a number of `universe` environments. It contains a basic implementation of the A3C algorithm, adapted for real-time environments.
COPY-PASTE FIXThis codebase historically implemented a starter agent that could solve a number of `universe` environments. It contains a basic implementation of the A3C algorithm, adapted for real-time environments, serving as a reference for early RL research.
