What it does

Ads Test is an agent skill from AgriciDaniel/claude-ads. Design and evaluate paid-ad experiments with hypotheses, randomization units, sample-size and duration assumptions, guardrails, platform experiment tools, analysis, and decision rules. Use for A/B test, split test, experiment design, hypothesis, statistical significance, sample size, test duration, or experiment readout.

Its SKILL.md is about 310 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 A/B testing, Experimental design and 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

  • Experiment design
  • Statistical significance
  • Experiment readout

Example prompts

  • “/ads-test”

Workflow steps

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

  1. State the decision, causal hypothesis, treatment, control, randomization unit,
  2. Check platform constraints, overlapping experiments, conversion lag, seasonality,
  3. Calculate sample and duration from declared assumptions; disclose approximations.
  4. Change one decision surface unless the design explicitly estimates interactions.
  5. Pre-register exclusions, quality checks, analysis, and decision thresholds.
  6. For readout, verify assignment integrity and data completeness before estimating
  7. Return setup or readout in versioned JSON with a plain-language decision.

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 Test loads about 312 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 112 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~83
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~312

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.

Paid Media Experiment

  1. State the decision, causal hypothesis, treatment, control, randomization unit, population, primary metric, guardrails, minimum effect, and stopping rule.
  2. Check platform constraints, overlapping experiments, conversion lag, seasonality, interference, and measurement quality.
  3. Calculate sample and duration from declared assumptions; disclose approximations.
  4. Change one decision surface unless the design explicitly estimates interactions.
  5. Pre-register exclusions, quality checks, analysis, and decision thresholds.
  6. For readout, verify assignment integrity and data completeness before estimating effect and uncertainty.
  7. Return setup or readout in versioned JSON with a plain-language decision.

Do not repeatedly peek and stop on a favorable result, call underpowered noise a winner, or generalize beyond the tested population.
