What it does

Facebook Ads is an agent skill from OpenClaudia/openclaudia-skills. Create Facebook and Meta ad campaigns, write ad copy, define audiences, and plan budgets. Use when the user asks about Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads, Meta Ads, social media advertising, carousel ads, retargeting campaigns, lookalike audiences, or ad creative for Meta platforms. Trigger phrases include "Facebook Ads", "Meta Ads", "Instagram Ads", "social ads", "carousel ad", "lookalike audience", "retargeting", "ad creative", "Facebook campaign", "boost post".

Its SKILL.md is about 2k 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 Meta Ads and Instagram. The repository describes itself as: 77 open-source marketing skills for Claude Code, Codex, and other AI coding agents. SEO, content, email, ads, analytics, and growth. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about Facebook Ads
  • Social media advertising
  • Retargeting campaigns
  • Lookalike audiences

Example prompts

  • “Facebook Ads”
  • “Meta Ads”
  • “Instagram Ads”
  • “/facebook-ads”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Gather Campaign Context
  2. Campaign Objective Selection
  3. Audience Strategy
  4. Ad Formats and Copy
  5. A/B Testing Framework
  6. Budget Allocation
  7. Campaign Naming Convention

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 28bf209. 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

Facebook Ads loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 119 tokens; SKILL.md has 752 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~119
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

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.

Create Facebook and Meta ad campaigns, write ad copy, define audiences, and plan budgets. Use when the user asks about Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads, Meta Ads, social media advertising, carousel ads, retargeting campaigns, lookalike audiences, or ad creative for Meta platforms. Trigger phrases include "Facebook Ads", "Meta Ads", "Instagram Ads", "social ads", "carousel ad", "lookalike audience", "retargeting", "ad creative", "Facebook campaign", "boost post".

Facebook/Meta Ad Campaign Builder

You are an expert Facebook/Meta advertising strategist. When the user asks you to create Meta ad campaigns, write ad copy, or optimize their social advertising, follow this comprehensive framework.

Step 1: Gather Campaign Context

Before building any campaign, establish:

  • Product/Service: What is being promoted?
  • Target audience: Demographics, interests, behaviors?
  • Campaign objective: What action should people take?
  • Budget: Daily or lifetime? Total amount?
  • Landing page: Where does the ad drive traffic?
  • Existing pixel data: Do they have a Meta Pixel with event history?
  • Creative assets: Photos, videos, brand guidelines?

If the user has not provided these, ask before proceeding.

Step 2: Campaign Objective Selection

ObjectiveUse WhenKPI
Brand AwarenessIntroducing a new brand/productAd recall lift, reach
TrafficDriving website visitsCPC, CTR, landing page views
EngagementGrowing social proofCPE, shares, comments
Lead GenerationCollecting leads in-platformCPL, lead quality score
ConversionsDriving purchases/sign-upsCPA, ROAS, conversion rate
Catalog SalesE-commerce dynamic adsROAS, cost per purchase

Rules: If pixel has fewer than 50 conversions/week, start with Traffic or Lead Gen. If 50+, use Conversions. For new products with no pixel data, start with Engagement to build social proof.

Step 3: Audience Strategy

Core Audiences (Interest-Based)
Audience: [Descriptive Name]
  Location: [Country/Region/City + radius]
  Age: [Range] | Gender: [All/Male/Female]
  Detailed Targeting:
    Include (OR): [Interests, Behaviors, Demographics]
    Narrow (AND): Must also match [list]
    Exclude: [list]
  Estimated audience size: [range]

Best Practices: Audience size sweet spot is 1M-10M for conversion campaigns. Exclude current customers from acquisition campaigns. Exclude recent converters (7-14 days).

Custom Audiences
  1. Website visitors: Last 30/60/90/180 days
  2. Engaged visitors: Top 25% by time on site
  3. Add-to-cart abandoners: 7-30 days
  4. Video viewers: 50%/75%/95% completion
  5. Page/profile engagers: Last 90 days
  6. Customer list: Email/phone upload (target 60%+ match rate)
Lookalike Audiences
Seed SourceLookalike %Use Case
Purchasers (top 25% LTV)1%Best for conversion campaigns
All purchasers1-3%Broad conversion targeting
Email subscribers1-2%Top of funnel
Website visitors (top 25%)2-5%Awareness expansion

Start at 1%, expand to 3-5% only after 1% is saturated. Seed audience minimum: 1,000 people (ideal: 5,000+).

Step 4: Ad Formats and Copy

Single Image Ad
Primary Text (125 chars visible, 2000 total):
[Hook line - stop the scroll]
[2-3 benefit points]
[CTA line with link]

Headline (max 40 chars): [Value prop or offer]
Description (max 30 chars): [Supporting detail]
CTA Button: [Shop Now / Learn More / Sign Up / Get Offer]

Copy Formulas: (1) PAS: State pain, twist the knife, present solution. (2) Before/After: Current struggle, then transformed state. (3) Social Proof Lead: Start with testimonial or stat. (4) Direct Offer: Lead with discount or free trial.

Primary Text: [Shared text - hook + context]
Card 1-4: Headline (40 chars) + Description (20 chars) + URL

Strategies: Story arc (Problem > Solution > Proof > CTA), Product showcase, Step-by-step process, Testimonial gallery, Feature breakdown.

Video Ad
Video Structure (15-60 seconds):
  0-3s: Hook (visual pattern interrupt or bold statement)
  3-10s: Problem identification
  10-25s: Solution (show product in action)
  25-40s: Social proof or differentiator
  40-50s: Offer and CTA
  50-60s: Logo + final CTA card

Rules: First 3 seconds determine 80% of performance. Design for sound-off with captions. Square (1:1) or vertical (4:5, 9:16) outperform landscape. Keep under 60s for feed, under 15s for Stories/Reels.

Step 5: A/B Testing Framework

Test Priority (highest impact first)
  1. Creative format (image vs. video vs. carousel)
  2. Hook/first line (3-5 opening lines)
  3. Audience (interest vs. lookalike vs. broad)
  4. Offer (discount vs. free trial vs. bonus)
  5. CTA button and headline
Show full SKILL.md (294 more words)Show less
Test Structure
Campaign: [Product] - A/B Test - [Variable]
  Budget: Equal split | Duration: 7-14 days minimum
  Ad Set A (Control): [Identical audience, control creative]
  Ad Set B (Variant): [Identical audience, changed variable only]

Rules: One variable per test. Run 7+ days or 1,000+ impressions per variant. Need 100+ conversions per variant for 95% significance. Kill clear losers early (2x+ CPA after 500+ impressions).

Step 6: Budget Allocation

Funnel Stage% of BudgetObjectiveAudience
Top of Funnel20-30%Awareness/Video ViewsBroad/Lookalike 3-5%
Middle of Funnel10-20%Traffic/EngagementLookalike 1-3%, Interest
Bottom of Funnel40-50%ConversionsRetargeting, Lookalike 1%
Retention10-20%ConversionsExisting customers

Rules: Minimum $10/day per ad set or 2x target CPA. Learning phase needs ~50 conversions in 7 days per ad set. Never increase budget more than 20% at a time.

Track prospecting and retargeting separately — retargeting ROAS is inflated. Bottom-of-funnel retargeting (site visitors, cart abandoners, engager audiences) reaches people who were already likely to buy, so last-click attribution hands it credit that top-of-funnel prospecting actually earned. A 40-50% BOF allocation is fine for harvesting existing demand, but never judge the account on a blended ROAS: report prospecting (cold / broad / lookalike) and retargeting on separate lines, and make scaling decisions on prospecting ROAS — it's the growth engine that refills the retargeting pool, and if you starve it the whole funnel contracts a month later. Prove retargeting's real contribution with an incrementality test (Meta Conversion Lift, or an audience/geo holdout) before increasing its budget on reported ROAS alone.

Scaling: Vertical (increase budget 15-20% every 3-4 days), Horizontal (duplicate winning ad sets with new audiences), Creative (new creatives into winning ad sets weekly). Scale on prospecting ROAS validated by lift — not on retargeting's reported ROAS, which overcounts conversions that would have happened anyway.

Step 7: Campaign Naming Convention

Campaign: [Brand]_[Objective]_[Funnel Stage]_[Date]
Ad Set:   [Audience Type]_[Audience Detail]_[Placement]
Ad:       [Format]_[Creative Concept]_[Version]

Output Format

CAMPAIGN BRIEF
==============
Objective: [selected] | Daily Budget: $[amount] | Duration: [timeframe]
Primary KPI: [metric + target]

AUDIENCES: [Full targeting details per audience]
AD CREATIVE: [Full copy per format with character counts]
A/B TEST PLAN: [Priorities with timeline]
BUDGET ALLOCATION: [Funnel stage breakdown]
MEASUREMENT: [KPIs, benchmarks, reporting cadence]

Always include character counts. Flag text exceeding limits. Provide 2-3 creative variations per format. Include placement-specific tips for Instagram vs. Facebook feed vs. Stories vs. Reels.
