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 nicobailon/surf-cli, 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 README positioning to explicitly state Surf is not a terminal browser
Why:
CURRENT**The CLI for AI agents to control Chrome. Zero config, agent-agnostic, battle-tested.**
COPY-PASTE FIX**The CLI for AI agents to control Chrome. Zero config, agent-agnostic, battle-tested. Surf is not a terminal browser; it orchestrates a real Chrome instance (headless or visible) for your agents.**
- mediumcomparison#2Add a dedicated 'Comparison' section in the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## Comparison to Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium While tools like Playwright and Puppeteer offer robust browser automation, Surf is purpose-built for AI agents. It prioritizes agent-agnostic CLI commands over complex scripting APIs, offers zero-config setup without servers, and is battle-tested against agent-hostile pages, making it uniquely suited for autonomous agent workflows where other tools require significant adaptation.
- mediumhomepage#3Add a homepage URL to the repository metadata
Why:
CURRENT(none)
