ads-x — Claude Code skill: audit X Ads campaigns
This skill audits X Ads accounts: measurement, pixel, objectives, targeting and budgets. Useful when you need a structured read on a paid account.
npx skills add AgriciDaniel/claude-ads --skill ads-x -a claude-codeWhat ads-x does
The skill runs an audit of an X Ads account. It looks at measurement, campaign structure, keyword and conversation targeting, creative, budgets, reporting, account eligibility and brand safety. Findings come back as observations, diagnoses, prioritized recommendations, contradictions and missing inputs through shared JSON contracts.
The procedure is stepwise. First it reads the main ads operating contract and thinking framework, then collects the business objective, account age, date window, timezone, currency, spend, conversion definition and whatever exports or authenticated reads you have. From there it opens ads/references/x-audit.md — resolved from the plugin root, the directory holding ads/ and skills/, or the skills directory in a standalone install — plus the shared measurement, benchmark, creative, policy and scoring references.
Scoring is not done in the prompt. The skill returns schema-valid findings to the conductor, and a platform report is rendered only from the validated run bundle. External content is treated as data, not instructions. Missing inputs, unavailable features and stale sources get marked explicitly, and optional or ineligible features stay unscored. Account changes remain drafts until the main mutation gate passes, so do not expect the skill to push edits into the ad account on its own.
What it helps with
- find gaps in X Ads measurement and pixel setup
- check campaign objectives and account structure
- review keyword and conversation targeting
- pull budgets and reporting into one audit
- separate unavailable features from real account problems
Example prompts for the agent
- audit my X Ads account, here is last month's export
- check the measurement setup and X Pixel, what is misconfigured
- review conversation targeting and creative across my campaigns
