Reviews short high-value strings — page titles, meta descriptions, schema description fields, FAQ answers, GitHub repo taglines, profile bios, social-card copy, and other metadata where Flesch and paragraph-level readability checks don't apply. Checks front-loading, concreteness, filler, active voice, title/description duplication, difficult words, SERP-truncation fit, and one-idea-per-field. Use when the user asks to review metadata, a tagline, a bio, or SEO strings, or proactively after generating any short string with audience-facing impact. Chained into by astro-seo, wp-readme-optimizer, github-repo, and github-profile for their metadata outputs. For multi-paragraph prose, use the `readability-check` skill instead.
Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.
Reviews short, high-value strings where every character counts — titles, meta descriptions, schema descriptions, FAQ answers, taglines, bios, and social-card copy. Flesch scoring and the ten-category readability rubric don't fit a 5–30 word string; this skill applies the checks that do.
Use this skill for anything in the metadata-string shape. For multi-paragraph prose (blog posts, READMEs, CONTRIBUTING files), use readability-check instead.
For each string, check these points. Every check is either ✓ (pass), ⚠ (needs work), or ✗ (problem).
Don't run this skill on:
@id values, filenames, enum values, or any technical identifier.readability-check.Per string, return:
### [Field name] — [length] chars
> [The string itself]
- Front-loading: [✓/⚠/✗] [one-line reason if not ✓]
- Concreteness: [✓/⚠/✗] [reason]
- Filler: [✓/⚠/✗] [reason]
- Active voice: [✓/⚠/✗] [reason]
- Duplication: [✓/⚠/✗] [reason]
- Word choice: [✓/⚠/✗] [reason]
- Truncation fit: [✓/⚠/✗] [reason] — platform: [SERP/GitHub/Twitter/OG]
- One idea: [✓/⚠/✗] [reason]
**Rewrite:** [only if any check failed — a concrete replacement string, not a suggestion]
Keep the audit tight — metadata feedback should be actionable in seconds, and you're almost always running it across a batch of strings at once. If a string is already clean, don't pad the output; just mark all ✓ and move on.

Flesch scoring and the ten-category readability rubric don't fit a 5–30 word string; this skill applies the checks that do. Use this skill for anything in the metadata-string shape. For multi-paragraph prose (blog posts, READMEs, CONTRIBUTING files), use `readability-check` instead. ## What to check For each string, check these points. Every check is either ✓ (pass), ⚠ (needs work), or ✗ (problem). - **Front-load the distinguishing word.** The most specific, searchable term sits near the start. "Astro SEO: the definitive guide" beats "The definitive guide to Astro SEO" — the reader's eye hits the topic first. - **Concrete over abstract.** Names, numbers, specific claims. "Reduce LCP by 40%" beats "Improve performance significantly." - **Filler and hedging — aggressive.** Every word costs shelf space. Cut *really*, *just*, *very*, *actually*, *basically*, *simply*, *a bit*, *kind of*, *I think*. In metadata these aren't style ticks, they're wasted SERP characters. - **Active voice unless the object is the subject.** "Audit your GitHub profile" beats "Your GitHub profile can be audited." - **No title/description duplication.** A meta description that restates the title burns ~60 of 200 characters for nothing. The description should promise what's *inside* the page, not re-announce what it *is*. - **Difficult words.** Prefer the common synonym unless the domain term is what the user searches for. Between *utilize* and *use*, use *use*. Domain terms the target audience expects are fine (*hydration*, *middleware*, *structured data*). - **SERP and platform truncation.** Know the limit for the surface: - Google SERP: titles clipped around 55–65 characters, descriptions around 155–160. - GitHub repo description: ~350 chars, but only the first ~100 show in search results and on profile cards. - Twitter/X bio: 160 chars. - Open Graph description: usually shown at ~200 chars. Anything past the cut should be disposable, not a key promise. - **One idea per field.** Titles and descriptions that try to promise two things land fuzzy. Pick the sharpest one. ## What to skip Don't run this skill on: - URLs, schema `@id` values, filenames, enum values, or any technical identifier. - Multi-paragraph prose — route that to `readability-check`. - Strings the user did not write and cannot change (imported content, upstream defaults). ## Output format Per string, return: ```markdown ### [Field name] — [length] chars > [The string itself] - Front-loading: [✓/⚠/✗] [one-line reason if not ✓] - Concreteness: [✓/⚠/✗] [reason] - Filler: [✓/⚠/✗] [reason] - Active voice: [✓/⚠/✗] [reason] - Duplication: [✓/⚠/✗] [reason] - Word choice: [✓/⚠/✗] [reason] - Truncation fit: [✓/⚠/✗] [reason] — platform: [SERP/GitHub/Twitter/OG] - One idea: [✓/⚠/✗] [reason] **Rewrite:** [only if any check failed — a concrete replacement string, not a suggestion] ``` Keep the audit tight — metadata feedback should be actionable in seconds, and you're almost always running it across a batch of strings at once.
