What it does

Ads Optimize is an agent skill from AgriciDaniel/claude-ads. Diagnose and draft or explicitly apply paid-ad optimizations using evidence, financial constraints, experiments, and capability-gated adapters. Use for campaign optimization, budget reallocation, bid changes, pausing or archiving ads, requests to delete campaigns, search-term or negative-keyword actions, creative rotation, or improving CPA and ROAS.

Its SKILL.md is about 480 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Paid advertising. The repository describes itself as: Claude-first paid-media operations skill for Claude Code across 12 ad platforms (Google, Meta, YouTube, LinkedIn, TikTok, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Reddit, Pinterest, Snapchat… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Campaign optimization
  • Budget reallocation
  • Requests to delete campaigns
  • Negative-keyword actions

Example prompts

  • “/ads-optimize”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Load the latest normalized snapshot, prior decisions, monitoring results,
  2. Identify the decision and causal evidence; do not optimize a metric in isolation.
  3. Compare no-change, experiment, and mutation options, including learning, policy,
  4. Produce ranked recommendations with confidence and success measures.
  5. Convert approved recommendations into mutation plans only through the main
  6. Apply, verify, audit, and retain rollback only when the exact operation is

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ac21644. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ads Optimize loads about 476 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 205 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~476

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Diagnose and draft or explicitly apply paid-ad optimizations using evidence, financial constraints, experiments, and capability-gated adapters.

Paid Media Optimization

Default to --draft.

  1. Load the latest normalized snapshot, prior decisions, monitoring results, experiment state, conversion lag, economics, and platform capability manifest.
  2. Identify the decision and causal evidence; do not optimize a metric in isolation.
  3. Compare no-change, experiment, and mutation options, including learning, policy, tracking, inventory, and opportunity-cost effects.
  4. Produce ranked recommendations with confidence and success measures.
  5. Convert approved recommendations into mutation plans only through the main mutation gate.
  6. Apply, verify, audit, and retain rollback only when the exact operation is enabled and remote state still matches the draft precondition.

Never use a fixed CPA multiple, budget ratio, benchmark, or novelty claim as sole authorization to change an account.

Destructive-action boundary

Refuse permanent deletion of campaigns, ad groups, ads, audiences, conversions, or other account objects. Permanent deletion is outside the supported mutation contract and cannot be made safe by confirmation. Offer reversible alternatives: leave objects paused, archive where supported, apply labels, export a backup, and define a retention or later-review date. Do not create or apply a delete plan.

Search-term actions require a search terms report, business-relevance evidence, and an overblocking review. Without them, request the missing evidence and do not invent or illustrate specific negative keywords.
