# SEO On-Page: Meta Description

Owns writing and review rules for `<meta name="description">`. It is a candidate source for search snippets, not a guarantee of the text Google will display.

## Inputs

Read root `{project}.md` when present. Confirm page type, primary search intent, locale, verified page-specific facts, current description, body coverage, sibling-page descriptions, and the intended next action when one exists.

## Rules

- Write an accurate, useful summary or pitch for the specific page.
- Lead with information that distinguishes this page from sibling pages.
- Use query-relevant language naturally, without a keyword list.
- Length is a warning, not a hard gate. Google has no fixed meta-description length limit and truncates snippets as needed for the device and result context.
