ads-plan FAQ

Do I need to use all twelve supported platforms?

No. The skill evaluates channel roles and exclusions from first principles; platforms are included only when strategically justified for your objectives and constraints.

What happens if my Meta account is new or has incomplete data?

The skill plans for measurement validation, explicit creative hypotheses, staged reversible tests, and confidence labels rather than applying mature-account benchmarks to missing history.

What output formats does this skill provide?

The skill returns both canonical JSON for programmatic use and human-readable advertising plans formatted for stakeholder review and implementation.

Can I use this for channels outside the twelve-platform contract?

Yes. For unsupported platforms, the skill loads additional-platforms reference material and returns a research lead unless current buying, eligibility, measurement, and creative evidence is present.

How does this skill handle prerequisites and dependencies?

Every action is assigned an owner, timing, dependency, guardrail, evidence measure, and rollback or exit condition to ensure phased, reversible implementation.

name: ads-plan description: "Create a professional paid-advertising strategy covering objectives, economics, platform selection, campaign architecture, audiences, budget, creative, measurement, experiments, governance, rollout, and reporting. Use for ad plan, media plan, PPC strategy, paid-social strategy, campaign architecture, advertising roadmap, or channel planning."

Paid Media Plan

  1. Read the setup profile, business economics, evidence, current account state, and relevant industry template as optional input.
  2. Define objective, customer, offer, conversion, value, constraints, geography, regulated category, time horizon, and success criteria.
  3. Evaluate channel roles and exclusions from first principles; do not require every supported platform. For a channel outside the twelve-platform contract, load ads/references/additional-platforms.md and return a research lead unless its current buying, eligibility, measurement, and creative evidence is present.
  4. Before proposing Meta budgets, learning-phase expectations, bidding, consolidation, or performance forecasts, collect the account, Pixel, and conversion cold-start dimensions per the contract in skills/ads-meta/SKILL.md. When any dimension is cold or unknown, plan for measurement validation, explicit creative hypotheses, staged reversible tests, and confidence labels; do not apply mature-account benchmarks to missing history.
  5. Specify campaign architecture, audience strategy, creative system, budget and pacing, measurement, experiments, policy controls, and operating cadence.
  6. Phase prerequisites before launch, learning, optimization, and scale.
  7. Assign every action an owner, timing, dependency, guardrail, evidence, success measure, and rollback or exit condition.
  8. Return canonical JSON and render the requested human plan.

A plan is advisory. It becomes an account change only through launch or optimize mutation gates.
