Claude Ads is an actively maintained, MIT-licensed Claude Code skill with substantial release activity, but its disabled scoring profiles and highly concentrated contributor base call for careful review before operational adoption.
Good fit if
- You use Claude Code and want evidence-backed reviews across the supported ad platforms.
- Your team can provide account exports or other evidence and prefers proposed changes to remain drafts by default.
- You can review the project’s development-candidate status and validate its behavior for your workflow.
Look elsewhere if
- You need approved account-health scores now, since all 12 scoring profiles are disabled.
- You need a verified runtime other than Claude Code, since other host targets are marked experimental.
- You require a project with a broader contributor base, since most contributions come from one person.

Overview
Claude Ads is a Claude Code skill for paid-media operations, built around Claude Code and implemented with Python. It helps agencies, consultants, and in-house marketing teams understand what is working, what is broken, and what to address first across Google, Meta, YouTube, LinkedIn, TikTok, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Reddit, Pinterest, Snapchat, and X.
It analyzes supplied account exports, screenshots, or summaries rather than changing accounts by default. Findings are tied to evidence, missing information is reported as unknown instead of guessed, and audits are saved as versioned JSON that can also be rendered as Markdown, HTML, or PDF.
Key Features
- Audit all platforms or focus on a specific platform or scope, with findings marked pass, fail, unknown, or not applicable.
- Build channel, budget, competitor, and measurement plans, and create ad copy and creative briefs.
- Monitor pacing, delivery, tracking, ad fatigue, policy, and performance.
- Draft campaign launches and optimization suggestions without applying them automatically.
- Design experiments or summarize completed tests.
- Save validated, versioned audit runs and render reports in several formats.
- Gate account changes on tested capabilities, explicit IDs, human approval, before-and-after diffs, and rollback and verification requirements.
Use Cases
- An agency consultant can review a client's exports across multiple ad platforms and identify which findings are supported by evidence and which need more data.
- An in-house marketer can investigate pacing, tracking, delivery, or policy concerns before deciding what to change.
- A team planning a new campaign can use the channel, budget, and measurement planning workflows to structure its proposal.
- A marketing lead can create optimization drafts for owner review without giving the skill default authority to change accounts.

Getting Started
In Claude Code, add the marketplace and install the plugin:
/plugin marketplace add agricidaniel/claude-ads
/plugin install claude-ads@ai-marketing-hub-claude-ads
Then run /ads setup and provide account evidence before starting an audit. See the repository README for setup, release verification, and platform details.
Considerations
The project describes itself as a development candidate, and its release requirements must pass before it is considered release-ready. Recent commits and frequent releases indicate active work, but the contributor base is small and strongly concentrated in one person. Issue closure is relatively slow, so account for that when relying on maintainer support.
Audits do not currently produce health scores because every platform scoring profile is disabled. Only Claude Code is verified; the README labels other host targets experimental. Managed dependencies require CPython 3.11 or 3.12, while browser capture and PDF output have additional host dependencies. The MIT license covers the project’s code and documentation, not the separate terms for third-party APIs, trademarks, or documentation.
