Counts

Characters: 109
Without spaces: 89
Words: 21
Sentences: 2
Lines: 1
Paragraphs: 1

Length limits

Meta lengths are guides: search results cut by pixel width, not a fixed count.

Meta title109 / 60, 49 over

Past about 60 characters, most desktop results cut the title.

Meta description109 / 160, 51 left

Past about 160 characters, the snippet is usually cut.

X post109 / 280, 171 left

X counts every link as 23 characters and some emoji and CJK characters as 2, so its own count can differ.

SMS, GSM-7109 / 160, 51 left

1 message. Plain text fits 160 characters in one SMS, 153 per part once split. Characters like { } [ ] ~ count twice.

Characters count what you see, so an emoji with a skin tone is one. Runs in your browser, nothing is sent anywhere.

Run it from your agent

Copy one prompt, give it to your agent.

Fill in the placeholder, paste it, and the agent runs the same job with current data on your looot account and shows the cost.

You give it: any text.
Billed per call, nothing while your agent is idle.
The agent shows the price before it calls.

Prompt: Character counter

Use looot to check the length of these texts: [paste the texts]. 1. Set up https://looot.ai/skill.md. 2. Count the characters of each, with and without spaces. 3. Flag any meta title over 60 characters, meta description over 160 and X post over 280. 4. Return a table with each text, its counts and a shorter rewrite of every one that is over.

There is no fixed count, because search results cut titles by pixel width. About 50 to 60 characters usually shows in full, so the bar marks 60.

280 characters on a standard account. X counts every link as 23 characters and some emoji and Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters as 2, so its count can differ from this one.
