When to Use
Use this skill when you need audit and fix HTML metadata including page titles, meta descriptions, canonical URLs, Open Graph tags, Twitter cards, favicons, JSON-LD structured data, and robots directives. Use when adding SEO metadata, fixing social share previews, reviewing Open Graph tags, setting up canonical...
Workflow
- Identify pages with missing or incorrect metadata (titles, descriptions, canonical, OG tags)
- Audit against the priority rules below — fix critical issues (duplicates, indexing) first
- Ensure title, description, canonical, and og:url all agree with each other
- Verify social cards render correctly on a real URL, not localhost
- Keep diffs minimal and scoped to metadata only — do not refactor unrelated code
when to apply
Reference these guidelines when:
- adding or changing page titles, descriptions, canonical, robots
- implementing Open Graph or Twitter card metadata
- setting favicons, app icons, manifest, theme-color
- building shared SEO components or layout metadata defaults
- adding structured data (JSON-LD)
- changing locale, alternate languages, or canonical routing
- shipping new pages, marketing pages, or shareable links
rule categories by priority
| priority | category | impact |
|---|
| 1 | correctness and duplication | critical |
| 2 | title and description | high |
| 3 | canonical and indexing | high |
| 4 | social cards | high |
| 5 | icons and manifest | medium |
| 6 | structured data | medium |
| 7 | locale and alternates | low-medium |
| 8 | tool boundaries | critical |
quick reference
1. correctness and duplication (critical)
- define metadata in one place per page, avoid competing systems
- do not emit duplicate title, description, canonical, or robots tags
- metadata must be deterministic, no random or unstable values
- escape and sanitize any user-generated or dynamic strings
- every page must have safe defaults for title and description
2. title and description (high)
