meta-ad-builderPublish finished creatives as live Meta (Facebook/Instagram) ads via the Meta Marketing API, plus research and ad-copy support.
Meta Ad Builder is an agent skill from krusemediallc/arcads-claude-code. Publish finished creatives as live Meta (Facebook/Instagram) ads via the Meta Marketing API, plus research and ad-copy support. Uploads an image or video, builds a multi-variant TEXTLIQUIDITY creative, and creates a PAUSED ad in an existing ad set. Also pulls top-performing ads (ranked by ROAS) and competitor ads from the Ad Library to inform copy. Use when the user asks to deploy / publish / launch a creative as a Meta or Facebook ad, build a Meta ad, push a video or image into an ad set, pull their top ads, or…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 13 other files, including scripts (for example `prompting/copy-guide.md`, `reference/deploy-patterns.md` and `reference/meta-api-cheatsheet.md`).
It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Paid advertising and Copywriting. It works with Meta Ads, Airtable, Instagram and Python. The repository describes itself as: Arcads external API: agent skills, prompting library, and Cursor/Claude workspace. The licence is MIT.
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1263501. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Ships 6 files in scripts/ (Python and Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pythonpython3bashFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
META_ACCESS_TOKENFrom names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Meta Ad Builder loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 170 tokens; SKILL.md has 725 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.
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- **Env** (in `.env` — see your repo's `.env.example`):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.

This skill also uses 9 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.Turn a finished creative — typically the output of a generative-AI skill in this workspace — into a live Meta ad. The skill covers three phases: research (optional) → copy → deploy. It talks to the Meta Marketing API directly via ported, parameterized Python scripts.
Trigger on phrases like:
<ad set>"<brand>'s ads from the Ad Library"Do not use this skill to generate creative — that's pixar-style-ad,
claymation-ad, generate-youtube-thumbnail, uni1-image-ad, etc. Do not use
it to write AdTable/Airtable rows — that's adtable-light. This skill is the
direct Meta Marketing API deployment step.

python scripts/pull-competitor-ads.py --pages "BrandName" --limit 50Both write JSON under OUTPUT_BASE (or ./outputs/meta-ads/). Read the top-ad
copy fields to identify winning hook/proof/CTA patterns before writing new copy.
Write a copy.json following copy-guide.md:
5 bodies (one per framework angle), 5 titles, 3 descriptions. If Phase 1 ran,
mirror the voice and patterns of the winners — new creative + proven copy DNA.
Save copy.json somewhere under outputs/ so it isn't committed.
Always dry-run first — it prints the full creative payload, makes no API calls:
python scripts/deploy-ad.py --dry-run \
--adset-id <AD_SET_ID> --copy-file copy.json --link <DESTINATION_URL> \
--image path/to/creative.pngReview the payload with the user, then deploy for real:
python scripts/deploy-ad.py \
--adset-id <AD_SET_ID> --copy-file copy.json --link <DESTINATION_URL> \
--video clip-a.mp4 --video clip-b.mp4 --cta SIGN_UP --pixel-id <PIXEL_ID>--image / --video are repeatable — each becomes its own ad in the ad set.deployment_results.json under OUTPUT_BASE.| User intent | Phases |
|---|---|
| "Deploy this creative to Meta" + copy provided | Phase 3 only |
| "Build a Meta ad, write the copy too" | Phase 2 → 3 |

--active override or un-pause ads without
an explicit user instruction. Confirm the user knows the ads are paused.deploy-ad.py run as something to confirm, not assume.deploy-ad.py polls the uploaded video until
Meta finishes processing before creating the ad — a video deploy can take a
few minutes. See deploy-patterns.md.OAuthException (code 2). Retried automatically with backoff.act_ prefix is added automatically if missing from META_AD_ACCOUNT_ID.outputs/ (gitignored): ad IDs, pulled spend/revenue, competitor data.The Meta Marketing API itself is free to call. Ad spend is real money — but because every ad deploys PAUSED, nothing spends until the user un-pauses it in Ads Manager. There are no per-call credits to estimate.

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders.

To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/meta-ad-builder, .gemini/skills/meta-ad-builder, .github/skills/meta-ad-builder and .opencode/skills/meta-ad-builder in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Meta Ad Builder needs Python and a shell for the scripts in its folder, the command-line tools its instructions call (python, python3 and bash) and credentials named META_ACCESS_TOKEN. Our summary lists: Python 3; A Bash shell; A credential in META_ACCESS_TOKEN.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (mentions a .env file), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Meta Ad Builder is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.7k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
