What problem does this address?
Users want quick, good meta descriptions, but the entry point and storage vary depending on SEO plugins. So let's look at providing suggestions and integrate when SEO plugins are detected (perhaps if certain, known meta fields for description are available).
What is your proposed solution?
Provide a “Suggest meta description” action in the editor (perhaps under/after the Excerpt generation button placement as heavily related?.
Generate based on post content and title, with constraints:
- Target length range (for example 140–160 chars)
- Avoid duplication with post title, avoid keyword stuffing
If an SEO plugin is detected, write suggestions into that plugin’s meta description field (when supported).
If no SEO plugin is detected, store as:
- Post meta that could be used by core later, or
- A plugin-managed meta key plus an copy-to-clipboard option
