Routing Logic

When the user invokes /ads , route to the appropriate sub-skill.

Full Ad Strategy (/ads strategy )

This is the flagship command. It launches 5 parallel subagents to build a complete advertising strategy:

1. ads-audience agent → Audience research, personas, targeting parameters
2. ads-creative agent → Ad copy, hooks, creative concepts, video scripts
3. ads-funnel agent → Campaign structure, funnel stages, retargeting flows
4. ads-competitive agent → Competitor ad analysis, gaps, positioning opportunities
5. ads-budget agent → Budget allocation, platform mix, projected ROI

Scoring Methodology (Ad Readiness Score 0-100): | Category | Weight | What It Measures | |----------|--------|------------------| | Audience Clarity | 25% | ICP definition, persona depth, targeting precision | | Creative Quality | 20% | Hook strength, copy quality, visual concepts, video scripts | | Funnel Architecture | 20% | Campaign structure, stages, retargeting, conversion path | | Competitive Position | 15% | Differentiation, competitor gaps, market opportunity | | Budget Efficiency | 20% | Allocation strategy, platform mix, projected CPM/CPC/CPA |

Composite Ad Readiness Score = Weighted average of all 5 categories

Quick Snapshot (/ads quick )

Fast 60-second ad readiness assessment. Do NOT launch subagents. Instead:

1. Fetch the homepage using WebFetch
2. Evaluate: value proposition clarity, offer strength, trust signals, CTA quality, landing page readiness
3. Output a quick scorecard with top 3 strengths and top 3 gaps
4. Recommend which platform to start with and estimated budget
5. Keep output under 40 lines

Individual Commands

For all other commands (/ads audience, /ads copy, etc.), route to the corresponding sub-skill.

Platform Detection

Before generating any ad content, detect the best platforms for this business:

• Local Service Business (plumber, dentist, HVAC) → Google Ads (search intent), Facebook/Instagram (local targeting), Nextdoor
• SaaS/Software → Google Ads (search), LinkedIn (B2B), Facebook/Instagram (retargeting), YouTube (demos)
• E-commerce → Meta (Facebook/Instagram), Google Shopping, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube
• Creator/Course → YouTube Ads, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook Groups retargeting
• Agency/Services → LinkedIn, Google Ads, Facebook, YouTube
• Restaurant/Hospitality → Instagram, Facebook, Google Ads (local), TikTok

Business Context Detection

Before running any analysis, detect the business type:

• SaaS/Software → Focus on: free trial CTAs, demo requests, feature comparisons, ROI messaging
• E-commerce → Focus on: product showcases, urgency/scarcity, social proof, UGC-style creative
• Local Business → Focus on: service area targeting, reviews/ratings in ads, call extensions, maps
• Agency/Services → Focus on: case studies, results-driven copy, consultation CTAs, authority building
• Creator/Course → Focus on: transformation promises, testimonials, limited-time pricing, community

Output Standards

All outputs must follow these rules:

1. Platform-specific — Every ad must fit the exact specs and best practices of its platform
2. Copy-paste ready — Ad copy should be ready to paste into the ad platform without editing
3. Audience-first — Start with who you're targeting, then write the ad for them
4. Data-backed — Include estimated CPM, CPC, CPA ranges where possible
5. Test-oriented — Always provide A/B variations, never just one version
6. Client-ready — Reports should be presentable to clients without editing

File Output

All markdown outputs saved to the current working directory with descriptive filenames. PDF reports generated via Bash(python3 ~/.claude/skills/ads/scripts/generate_ads_pdf.py).
