What it does
Sync Client Libs is an agent skill from googleads/google-ads-api-developer-assistant. Discovers Google Ads client libraries under clientlibs, verifies installed versions against GitHub latest releases, and automatically updates outdated codebases.
Its SKILL.md is about 540 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/sync_client_libs.py`).
It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Paid advertising. It works with Google Ads, GitHub, Python and Java. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Paid advertising
Example prompts
- “Use the sync-client-libs skill to discover Google Ads client libraries under clientlibs, verifies installed versions against GitHub latest releases…”
- “/sync-client-libs”
Requirements
- Python 3
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dbb730a. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Sync Client Libs loads about 537 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 181 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Sync Client Libraries Skill
Use this skill to automatically discover, verify, and update all Google Ads client libraries located in client_libs/ against their latest upstream releases on GitHub.
Overview
The client library sync tool inspects each codebase under client_libs/ (e.g., google-ads-python, google-ads-php, google-ads-ruby, google-ads-java, google-ads-dotnet), determines the locally installed release version, fetches the latest release tag from GitHub, and automatically synchronizes the codebase if the local installation is outdated.
