What it does
Youtube Ads is an agent skill from kostja94/marketing-skills. When the user wants to run YouTube ads, set up TrueView or Bumper campaigns, or optimize video ad creative. Also use when the user mentions "YouTube ads," "TrueView," "Bumper ads," "YouTube Discovery," "video ads," "YouTube campaign," or "in-feed ads." For organic YouTube, use youtube-seo.
Its SKILL.md is about 660 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. It works with YouTube and Google Ads. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for Marketing — SEO, Social, Influencer & More. 160+ open-source skills for SEO, content, 40+ page types, paid ads, channels, and strategies. Add project context… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Wants to run YouTube ads
- Set up TrueView
- Bumper campaigns
- Optimize video ad creative
Example prompts
- “YouTube ads,”
- “TrueView,”
- “Bumper ads,”
- “/youtube-ads”
Workflow steps

- Goal: Awareness, consideration, conversion

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8dd89c5. 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
Youtube Ads loads about 660 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 272 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
