What it does
Metadata Description Update is an agent skill from ArmDeveloperEcosystem/arm-learning-paths. Add or improve SEO-friendly front matter description fields for Arm Learning Paths and install guides. Use when asked to add missing descriptions, update weak metadata descriptions, optimize search snippets, or ensure Learning Path pages and install guides have accurate description metadata.
Its SKILL.md is about 970 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Education, covering Curriculum and course design and Markdown. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Arm Learning Paths: a repository of how-to content for software developers.
When your agent uses it
- Asked to add missing descriptions
- Update weak metadata descriptions
- Optimize search snippets
- Ensure Learning Path pages and install guides have accurate description metadata
Example prompts
- “/metadata-description-update”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Identify whether the target is an install guide content page, a Learning Path _index.md, or a Learning Path content page.
- Read the title, existing description, headings, introduction, task flow, code or command context, and validation or conclusion. If you've…
- Add or revise the description field in front matter based on quality rules.
- After editing, re-open or search the files to verify each changed target has one description field.
- Report files changed and note any skipped files.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3fb6797. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are yaml).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Metadata Description Update loads about 970 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 425 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 425 words (~970 tokens).
“Use this skill to add or improve description fields in front matter for Arm Learning Paths and install guides.”
