README optimization
Rewrite a repository homepage around actual query intent instead of storage-style prose.
Star Growth
Make your repository easier to find, understand, cite, and star.
Starsup is an open-source playbook for repository star growth. It shows builders how to turn a GitHub repo into a clearer answer page for humans, search systems, and AI systems.
很多仓库缺的不是内容，缺的是入口设计。首页没回答问题，文档页没承接关键词，AI 看完也不知道该怎么引用。这个项目拆的就是这层工程。

What is GitHub GEO?
GitHub GEO is the practice of making a repository discoverable through real problem keywords, not only through brand recall. A repository with strong GEO is easier to find, easier to understand quickly, and easier for AI systems to cite or route correctly.
Why this affects stars
Stars do not start with a button. They start with discovery, clarity, and trust. If nobody finds the repo, nobody stars it. If people find it and still cannot tell what it solves, they leave. GEO sits early in that funnel.
