What it does

This skill teaches an AI agent how to keep the Claude Ads knowledge base up to date. When a claim about an advertising platform, its API, policies or benchmarks is out of date, the agent re-checks it against official, primary sources, records where each fact came from and when, and marks claims it cannot verify as provisional or unsupported. It also proposes updates to the knowledge base rather than silently changing it.

Great for

  • Maintainers of the claude-ads repository who need to refresh stale platform or API claims
  • Teams that rely on Claude Ads guidance and want evidence-backed, dated paid-media facts
  • Reviewers who want a documented audit trail of why a claim was kept, demoted or blocked

Skip it if

  • Running live ad campaigns or changing ad account settings, since the skill only manages research and documentation
  • Users who need a quick answer without source checks, because the process is deliberately slow and evidence-heavy
  • Treating its output as legal or compliance advice, since regulatory and policy claims can change and need human review

Try asking

  • “Refresh every claim in the Meta Ads knowledge base whose refresh_due date has passed”
  • “Check whether the Google Ads API claims in our repo still match the current official documentation”
  • “Review the ecosystem for recent platform policy changes and propose canonical updates”
  • “Demote any benchmark claim that cannot be reverified from a current source”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Point the agent at a specific slice, such as one platform or the claims with expired refresh_due dates, to keep research bounded
  • Review proposed canonical updates yourself before merging, especially for policy and regulatory claims
  • If the agent reports blocked claims, supply the missing source access so the claims can be verified rather than left undecided
