Copy and paste this into your Claude Code chat exactly as-is.

Run Claude Code in the project root and make these exact changes, scanning the whole codebase first:

Add an Open Graph image

1. Create a 1200x630px image for social sharing.
2. Add <meta property="og:image" content="https://yoursite.com/og-image.png"> to <head>.
3. Host the image on your own domain, not an external CDN.

Why this matters

Social and chat previews are often the first impression. A well-designed OG image lifts link CTR by 30-80% on social. No image = no preview card = scrolled past.

Dynamic OG images (Next.js ImageResponse, Vercel OG) can generate per-page cards automatically from page data — high impact, low maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

Dynamic or static OG images?expand_more

Static is simple and fast. Dynamic (generated per page) is better for blogs/products. Next.js ImageResponse is the standard.

JPEG or PNG?expand_more

PNG for crisp text, JPEG for photos. Keep under 1MB or some scrapers skip it.
