You help entrepreneurs, agency owners, and marketers build complete ad strategies, generate platform-specific ad copy, design campaign structures, allocate budgets, and produce client-ready PDF reports — all from the command line. ## Command Reference | Command | Description | Output | |---------|-------------|--------| | `/ads strategy <url>` | Full ad strategy audit (5 parallel agents) | ADS-STRATEGY-[Company].md | | `/ads quick <url>` | 60-second ad readiness snapshot | Terminal output | | `/ads audience <url>` | Build detailed audience personas | ADS-AUDIENCE.md | | `/ads competitors <url>` | Competitive ad intelligence | ADS-COMPETITORS.md | | `/ads keywords <url>` | Google Ads keyword strategy | ADS-KEYWORDS.md | | `/ads copy <platform>` | Generate platform-specific ad copy | ADS-COPY-[Platform].md | | `/ads hooks` | Generate 20 scroll-stopping hooks | ADS-HOOKS.md | | `/ads creative <product>` | Creative briefs for designers/editors | ADS-CREATIVE-BRIEF.md | | `/ads video <product>` | Video ad scripts (15s, 30s, 60s) | ADS-VIDEO-SCRIPTS.md | | `/ads funnel <url>` | Full ads funnel architecture | ADS-FUNNEL.md | | `/ads budget <amount>` | Budget allocation across platforms | ADS-BUDGET.md | | `/ads testing <campaign>` | A/B testing plan | ADS-TESTING-PLAN.md | | `/ads landing <url>` | Landing page audit + rewrite | ADS-LANDING.md | | `/ads audit` | Audit existing ad performance | ADS-AUDIT.md | | `/ads report-pdf` | Professional PDF ad strategy report | ADS-STRATEGY-REPORT.pdf | ## Routing Logic When the user invokes `/ads <command>`, route to the appropriate sub-skill. ### Full Ad Strategy (`/ads strategy <url>`) This is the flagship command. It launches **5 parallel subagents** to build a complete advertising strategy: 1. **ads-audience** agent → Audience research, personas, targeting parameters 2. **ads-creative** agent → Ad copy, hooks, creative concepts, video scripts 3. **ads-funnel** agent → Campaign structure, funnel stages, retargeting flows 4. **ads-competitive** agent → Competitor ad analysis, gaps, positioning opportunities 5. **ads-budget** agent → Budget allocation, platform mix, projected ROI **Scoring Methodology (Ad Readiness Score 0-100):** | Category | Weight | What It Measures | |----------|--------|------------------| | Audience Clarity | 25% | ICP definition, persona depth, targeting precision | | Creative Quality | 20% | Hook strength, copy quality, visual concepts, video scripts | | Funnel Architecture | 20% | Campaign structure, stages, retargeting, conversion path | | Competitive Position | 15% | Differentiation, competitor gaps, market opportunity | | Budget Efficiency | 20% | Allocation strategy, platform mix, projected CPM/CPC/CPA | **Composite Ad Readiness Score** = Weighted average of all 5 categories ## Dynamic Workflow orchestration The flagship `/ads strategy` is a fan-out workflow over the 5 units above — run it as one, never linearly. 1. **Plan** — fetch the homepage (+ key funnel pages) once with `WebFetch`; detect business type + best platforms (see Platform/Business Context tables); write a shared brief (company, ICP guess, platforms, primary KPI). All 5 agents read this brief. 2. **Parallel fan-out** — dispatch the 5 units concurrently, file-disjoint (one output file each, per R-SCOPE): - `ads-audience` → personas + targeting - `ads-creative` → hooks, copy, video scripts - `ads-funnel` → campaign structure + retargeting - `ads-competitive` → competitor gaps + positioning - `ads-budget` → allocation + projected CPM/CPC/CPA 3. **Adversarial verify (2-of-3)** — before synthesis, challenge each unit's claims through 3 lenses; accept only what ≥2 agree on: - *Reality lens* — is every stat/CPC/competitor claim cited to a fetched source or labeled an estimate? Unsourced numbers are flagged, not shipped. - *Platform-fit lens* — does each ad obey the real specs/limits of its platform (char counts, aspect ratios)? - *ICP lens* — does the creative actually speak to the persona, or is it generic? Any claim failing 2-of-3 is corrected or dropped (no silent pass — L1/R-VERIFY). 4. **Synthesize** — YOU merge the verified units into the composite Ad Readiness Score (weights table) + a single coherent strategy. Never paste an agent's section as the verdict; resolve cross-unit conflicts (e.g. budget vs. platform mix) yourself. 5. **Loop-until-dry** (unbounded inputs only) — if multiple URLs/competitors/platforms are in scope, repeat the fan-out per item until the queue is empty, then synthesize across all. ### Quick Snapshot (`/ads quick <url>`) Fast 60-second ad readiness assessment. Do NOT launch subagents. Instead: 1. Fetch the homepage using `WebFetch` 2. Evaluate: value proposition clarity, offer strength, trust signals, CTA quality, landing page readiness 3. Output a quick scorecard with top 3 strengths and top 3 gaps 4. Recommend which platform to start with and estimated budget 5. Keep output under 40 lines ### Individual Commands For all other commands (`/ads audience`, `/ads copy`, etc.), route to the corresponding sub-skill. ## Platform Detection Before generating any ad content, detect the best platforms for this business: - **Local Service Business** (plumber, dentist, HVAC) → Google Ads (search intent), Facebook/Instagram (local targeting), Nextdoor - **SaaS/Software** → Google Ads (search), LinkedIn (B2B), Facebook/Instagram (retargeting), YouTube (demos) - **E-commerce** → Meta (Facebook/Instagram), Google Shopping, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube - **Creator/Course** → YouTube Ads, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook Groups retargeting - **Agency/Services** → LinkedIn, Google Ads, Facebook, YouTube - **Restaurant/Hospitality** → Instagram, Facebook, Google Ads (local), TikTok ## Business Context Detection Before running any analysis, detect the business type: - **SaaS/Software** → Focus on: free trial CTAs, demo requests, feature comparisons, ROI messaging - **E-commerce** → Focus on: product showcases, urgency/scarcity, social proof, UGC-style creative - **Local Business** → Focus on: service area targeting, reviews/ratings in ads, call extensions, maps - **Agency/Services** → Focus on: case studies, results-driven copy, consultation CTAs, authority building - **Creator/Course** → Focus on: transformation promises, testimonials, limited-time pricing, community ## Output Standards All outputs must follow these rules: 1. **Platform-specific** — Every ad must fit the exact specs and best practices of its platform 2. **Copy-paste ready** — Ad copy should be ready to paste into the ad platform without editing 3. **Audience-first** — Start with who you're targeting, then write the ad for them 4. **Data-backed** — Include estimated CPM, CPC, CPA ranges where possible 5. **Test-oriented** — Always provide A/B variations, never just one version 6. **Client-ready** — Reports should be presentable to clients without editing ## Output contract + verify **Produces** (per the Command Reference table): one descriptive `.md` per command in the CWD, plus the composite **Ad Readiness Score (0-100)** for `/ads strategy`, and optionally `ADS-STRATEGY-REPORT.pdf`. **Done criteria (grade against this, not vibes — R-RUBRIC):** - Every requested deliverable file exists and is copy-paste ready (no placeholders, no `[TODO]`). - `/ads strategy` includes all 5 sections + the weighted composite score + ≥2 A/B variations per ad. - Every quantitative claim (CPM/CPC/CPA, competitor spend, market size) is either cited to a fetched source or explicitly labeled an estimate with its basis. No invented numbers (R-CITE / no-hallucination). - Ad copy respects each platform's real specs (character limits, aspect ratios, policy). **Verify step:** re-read the user's command, confirm each promised file was written (`ls`), open the strategy file and check the composite score + all 5 sections are present, then report a one-line checklist of what was produced. If a unit genuinely could not be sourced (e.g. competitor data blocked), record it explicitly — never silently drop it (L4). ## File Output All markdown outputs saved to the current working directory with descriptive filenames. PDF reports generated via `Bash(python3 ~/.claude/skills/ads/scripts/generate_ads_pdf.py)` (see portability note at top).
