Lite Packages v2.19.57

What's New: GEO Optimization

Every Lite package now includes an enhanced GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) scenario protocol for optimizing websites to be cited by AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.

New GEO Tools (free):

• Claude Code Skill — Automated 7-phase GEO workflow: identity generation, schema creation, atomic claims, and audit
• Prompt Generator — Enter any URL, get a ready-to-use GEO prompt for Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini
• Visit archondev.io/geo for both tools

GEO Highlights

• 7-word identity phrases train AI models to recognize your brand
• Atomic claims (under 18 tokens) — 91% of AI citations use sentences this short
• JSON-LD schemas (Organization, Service, FAQPage) improve AI comprehension by 30-40%
• FAQ schema alone boosts citation frequency by up to 40%

Also Included

• Context-Aware Intelligence — AI detects what you're doing and proactively offers help
• Fix-First Code Review — Auto-fixes mechanical issues, only asks about ambiguous ones
• AI Slop Detection — 10-item blacklist catches generic AI design patterns, scored A-F
• Systematic Debugging — Root cause first, 3-strike hypothesis testing
• Ship Readiness Dashboard — Pre-deploy checklist tracking all quality gates

v2.5.0 - Streamlined Onboarding & AI Interview

Major Improvements

Streamlined Onboarding Flow

Complete rewrite of the first-run experience:

• Login required first — Creates user account before any other steps
• Tier selection upfront — Choose FREE/BYOK/Credits before AI calls
• Fixed double-init bug that confused new users
• Clear output — No more jumbled messages during setup

AI-Powered Conversational Interview

Natural conversation replaces rigid numbered menus:

• AI asks follow-up questions based on your answers
• Infers project details from natural language
• Uses Haiku model for cost-efficient onboarding
• Falls back to simple text prompts when no API key available
• Say "skip" or "just start" anytime to use defaults

Update Notifications

Automatic version checking on startup:

• Background check against npm registry (non-blocking)
• Shows banner when new version available
• Displays update command: npm update -g archondev

Install / Update

npm install -g archondev
# or
npm update -g archondev
