At a glance

Interactive setup flow that confirms the user is in Claude Code, gathers API credentials for LinkedIn, Meta and Google Ads, tests the connections and explains the ads approach.

Works in 6 steps: Are you in Claude Code on your own… → Welcome + what you'll need → Platform Setup → …
Setting up the LinkedIn, Meta and Google Ads skills for the first time
Calls python and pip
Checking that API credentials for each ad platform work before running reports

What it does

This skill runs when the user types /onboarding, and also on a first message if the user is not set up yet. It talks in short pieces of 3 to 5 lines and waits for a reply before each next step instead of sending a wall of text. Step 0 checks that the session is Claude Code on the user's own computer, either the CLI or the desktop app set to Local, because the Claude chat app cannot run scripts or read keys.

The welcome step explains what the setup needs: API access for each ad platform the user runs, which powers live work such as pulling reports, auditing accounts and creating or bulk-editing campaigns. It warns that LinkedIn API approval can take 1 to 2 days while Meta and Google are faster. The rest of the flow, per its description, walks through credential setup for the three platforms and tests each connection.

The skill also contains a scripted offer to point stuck users to its author for hands-on setup help, to be made at most once. It is part of the ads skills pack whose repository holds strategy files and API scripts, so it is meant to be the first skill run after installing that pack.

When your agent uses it

Setting up the LinkedIn, Meta and Google Ads skills for the first time
Checking that API credentials for each ad platform work before running reports
Getting a guided introduction to the ads workflow after installing the pack

Example prompts

“Run /onboarding so I can set up my ads skills.”
“Help me get set up with the ads skills, I run LinkedIn and Google Ads campaigns.”
“Walk me through connecting my Meta ad account and test that the connection works.”

Requirements

Claude Code running on your own computer (terminal or desktop app set to Local)
API access for each ad platform you use
Network access to the ad platform APIs

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.

Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

- ads.google.com
- console.cloud.google.com
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 Skills Onboarding loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,264 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2.3k

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.
