What it does

Once installed, the agent reviews a YouTube Ads account or campaign setup against a structured checklist covering measurement, campaign types, formats like in-stream, Shorts and CTV, creative, audiences, brand safety and bidding. It works from exports, screenshots or values you supply, notes where each figure came from, and returns observations, diagnoses and prioritised recommendations. It is designed to be read-only: it proposes changes as drafts rather than making them, and points to other skills for Google-managed campaign types or for actually changing campaigns.

Great for

  • Marketers or media buyers who want a structured second opinion on a YouTube campaign setup
  • Agencies preparing an audit report for a client from exported campaign data
  • Teams planning a migration to video action campaigns (VAC) who want a gap review first

Skip it if

  • People who need the agent to pause, edit or rebid live campaigns; this skill is read-only and defers changes to the ads-optimize skill
  • Google-managed campaign types such as Performance Max, which the file routes to a separate ads-google skill
  • Decisions that rely on universal rules of thumb; the skill explicitly avoids universal pause, bid or attribution rules, so results still need human judgement

Try asking

  • “Audit my YouTube Ads account using this CSV export of the last 30 days and tell me where measurement is broken”
  • “Review our Shorts and in-stream campaign setup and list creative and audience issues by priority”
  • “Check our CTV campaign for brand safety gaps and missing measurement before we scale spend”
  • “Prepare a YouTube Ads audit report for a client from these screenshots and API results”

Get better results

  • Provide the conversion definition, date window, timezone and currency up front, since the skill checks these before applying any benchmark
  • Install the full claude-ads repository, not just this folder, because the skill relies on the shared ads/ references and will not work fully without them
  • Treat the output as a draft review; use the ads-optimize skill separately if you want changes applied
