## What it does

google-ads covers Google Ads tasks such as performance checks, keyword and bid work, budget changes, negative keywords, campaigns, ads, and search terms. It also includes quality score work, location targeting, bulk actions, experiments, asset management, portfolio bidding, and offline conversions.

The skill is intended for requests about CPA, ROAS, ad spend, campaign settings, Performance Max, Shopping campaign, sitelinks, callouts, and structured snippets. Its argument hint accepts a campaign name, a keyword, or `show performance`. The wrapper directs the agent to read `google-ads/manage/WORKFLOW.md` first; if that file cannot be read, execution stops with a packaging error.

# Canonical NotFair workflow

Read [`../../google-ads/manage/WORKFLOW.md`](../../google-ads/manage/WORKFLOW.md) completely, then follow it as the active workflow. Normalize that path from the directory containing this wrapper: the canonical file is `<plugin-root>/google-ads/manage/WORKFLOW.md`, not `<plugin-root>/skills/google-ads/manage/WORKFLOW.md`. Resolve every relative reference from the canonical file against `<plugin-root>/google-ads/manage/`. If the canonical file cannot be read, stop and report the packaging error; never substitute a similarly named skill from another plugin.
```
