meta-description

meta-description is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kostja94/marketing-skills. It costs 95 tokens per session (889 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to writing the meta description, the short page summary that may appear under a result in a search engine. It covers page-specific wording, keywords, calls to action, and display length.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write or revise search-result descriptions for individual pages and adapt them for different writing systems and screen sizes.
Why use it?
It helps search results describe each page clearly and avoid repetitive or poorly sized summaries. It also accounts for the fact that search engines measure display space in pixels rather than a fixed character count.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

meta-description scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

SEO On-Page: Meta Description

Guides optimization of the meta description tag for search engines and SERP display.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Scope (On-Page SEO)

  • Meta description: CTA; unique value; target keyword; unique per page

Length by Language

Google truncates by pixel width (~920px desktop, ~680px mobile), not character count. Character limits are approximate—CJK chars are wider (~2× Latin), so fewer fit in the same pixels.

Script / Language Meta description (chars) Notes
Latin (English, Spanish, French, etc.) 150–160 Desktop ~158; mobile ~120
CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) 75–100 Full-width chars; 70–80 conservative; 90–100 on some locales/fonts; use pixel checker when available
Cyrillic (Russian, etc.) 140–155 Slightly wider than Latin
Arabic, Hebrew 70–90 RTL; variable width

Pixel tools: Use a pixel-accurate meta tag checker for CJK—font and locale affect display; character counts vary by source (65–80 to 90–120 in practice).

Multilingual: Use locale-specific limits; localize, don't just translate. See localization-strategy, translation.

Initial Assessment

Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read it for brand voice and target keywords.

Identify:

  1. Page type: Homepage, landing, blog, product, etc.
  2. Primary keyword: Target search query
  3. Language / script: Apply length rule above
  4. CTA: Primary action (sign up, learn more, buy, etc.)

Best Practices

Item Guideline
Length Per language (see table above); ~150 chars sweet spot for Latin; truncates beyond pixel limit
Unique One per page; no duplicate descriptions
Intent Answer "why should I click?"; match search intent
CTA Include clear call-to-action when relevant
Keyword Naturally include target keyword
Content Include author, date, price where relevant
Impact Does not affect ranking; well-written descriptions improve CTR 5–10%

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
