SEO On-Page: Twitter Cards
Guides implementation of Twitter Card meta tags for X (Twitter) link previews. Twitter falls back to Open Graph if Twitter-specific tags are missing; add both for best results.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Common Mistakes
- Missing Twitter Card tags (Twitter won't display images properly without them)
- Using relative image URLs instead of absolute https://
- Images too small or wrong aspect ratio
- Title/description too long (gets truncated)
Implementation
Next.js (App Router)
export const metadata = {
twitter: {
card: 'summary_large_image',
title: '...',
description: '...',
images: ['https://example.com/twitter.jpg'],
site: '@yourusername',
creator: '@authorusername',
},
};
HTML (generic)
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">
<meta name="twitter:title" content="Your Title">
<meta name="twitter:description" content="Your description">
<meta name="twitter:image" content="https://example.com/image.jpg">
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@yourusername">
<meta name="twitter:image:alt" content="Alt text">
