…readme - Send the site title (blogname) alongside the URL in the AI starter-site ranking request so the service has a niche signal beyond the URL. - Add a readme "External services" section disclosing the ThemeIsle starter-sites service (catalog, ranking, license) per the WordPress.org plugin guidelines.

What
get_bloginfo('name'), sanitized) alongsidesite_urlin the AI starter-site ranking request (includes/Starter_Ranking.php), giving the ranking service a niche signal beyond the URL.== External services ==section disclosing the ThemeIsle starter-sites service (api.themeisle.com) — catalog, ranking, and license: what data is sent and when, with links to ThemeIsle Terms + Privacy Policy.Why
Sending the site URL/title to power the user-invoked ranking falls under the WordPress.org SaaS exception (Detailed Plugin Guideline 7), so a readme disclosure (not a consent gate) is the required treatment — and the plugin currently ships no External Services disclosure at all. This closes that gap with no UX change.
Pairs with
Backend: Codeinwp/agents#61 (accepts + uses the title; ranks staging sites).
