# Fix: Root HTML has a descriptive <meta name="description">

> Web-audit fix skill for the `root-meta-description` check (Content for agents, SHOULD).

## Goal

Add a meta description naming what the service does and its agent entry points.

## Fix

Add a `<meta name="description">` to your root HTML that states what the service does and names
its agent entry points (MCP endpoint, `llms.txt`, OpenAPI). It is the cheapest machine-readable
summary and it feeds link previews and search snippets too.

## Resources

- [MDN meta description](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/meta/name)

## Copy-paste prompt

Paste this into your coding agent, replacing the Issue line with the Result line from [your audit](https://anc.dev/web-audit):

```text

Issue: <the audit's finding for this check>
Fix: Add a `<meta name="description">` to your root HTML that states what the service does and names its agent entry points (MCP endpoint, `llms.txt`, OpenAPI). It is the cheapest machine-readable summary and it feeds link previews and search snippets too.
