## What it does

The `etsy-advertising` skill gives your agent a framework for reviewing advertising in your Etsy shop. It looks at how the shop is set up now, flags what can be improved, and turns that into a step-by-step plan. The scope covers budget allocation, bid management, promoted listings and whether to opt out of offsite ads.

Output is structured: an assessment of the current state, priority actions from quick wins to longer work, tool and strategy comparisons with pros and cons, an implementation timeline, and KPIs to track. There is no direct Etsy API integration here, so treat the recommendations as guidance and check them against your own shop data. Keep a recent campaign export nearby, otherwise the advice stays generic.

Install takes one `npx skills` command. The skill is marked Beta, so wording may shift between versions.
