Write a meta description

A meta description is a short, accurate summary of the page. It can help communicate the value of a search result, but search engines may choose a different snippet based on the query.

Before you start

  • A specific page with useful content already present.
  • For direct mode: one existing description meta tag in static HTML.
  • For frameworks: the page metadata file or function.

How to do it

  1. Describe the task, audience, and useful result in natural language.
  2. Keep claims aligned with the actual page; mention Mac or Windows only if the instructions cover them.
  3. Replace the existing description using the appropriate mode.
  4. Inspect the resulting HTML and ensure there are no duplicate description tags.

Before & after

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
<meta name="description" content="Change a website background with a customizable AI prompt or a local terminal script. Includes prerequisites, a preview, and undo steps.">

The page has one accurate description. This does not force a particular search snippet or guarantee rankings.

MAKE IT YOURS

Use with an AI coding tool

1 Describe your change

Use your own words. You do not need a file name. The prompt asks the AI to preserve unrelated work.

We remember this choice on this device. Choosing a tool does not connect it to this website.

2 Copy your prompt

Read the complete prompt below, then copy it.

3 Paste into your AI coding tool

Open your website or app project in your AI coding tool. Paste this into its AI chat box and send it. The tool needs access to your project files to make changes.

A website address alone does not give an AI permission or access to edit it. This prompt goes into an AI chat, not a regular terminal window.

4 Check the result

Check the final metadata; explain that search engines can choose a different snippet.

Open your project preview and try the change. Review what changed before publishing. If it is wrong, use your tool’s undo or restore your saved project version.

If the result is not what you expected

The snippet did not update immediately

Search engines need to recrawl and can select their own text.

The description is a list of keywords

Write a useful summary of the page instead of repeating search phrases.

Undo the change

Restore the previous content attribute or metadata value. Leave other metadata intact.

References & testing

The examples above explain the expected behavior; they are not a claim that this prompt has been tested in every framework or AI model. The direct tool uses our shared local-edit engine; native Windows execution remains unverified.
