What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by thedaviddias/front-end-checklist in skills/meta-description/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

A compelling meta description acts as organic ad copy in search results—well-written descriptions improve click-through rates even though they are not a direct ranking signal.

Quick Reference

  • Every page should have a unique meta description between 120–160 characters
  • Meta descriptions are not a ranking factor but strongly influence click-through rates
  • Write descriptions as a call to action that summarises the page value
  • Google may override your description with content from the page

Check

Check the for a tag. Verify it is present, unique, and between 120 and 160 characters. Flag pages where it is missing, duplicated, or outside the recommended length.

Fix
