Key Principles

• Intent over volume — Target keywords that match the article's actual depth and purpose rather than chasing high-volume terms that don't align with content
• Human-readable first — All titles, descriptions, and tags must read naturally to humans; search engines reward user engagement over keyword density
• No keyword stuffing — Distribute keywords strategically across metadata fields without repetition or forced insertion
• Schema compliance — Generated frontmatter must conform to the site's build system and content schema to prevent rendering failures
• Measurable outcomes — Every optimization should be tied to a trackable metric such as impressions, click-through rate, or ranking position
• Content accuracy — Metadata must faithfully represent the article's actual content; misleading metadata harms trust and rankings
• Library-wide consistency — Apply uniform formatting, naming conventions, and tagging taxonomy across all published content

Workflow

1. Content Ingestion — Parse the Markdown or MDX article to extract headings, body text, code blocks, and existing frontmatter
