name: meta-ad-builder

description: Publish finished creatives as live Meta (Facebook/Instagram) ads via the Meta Marketing API, plus research and ad-copy support. Uploads an image or video, builds a multi-variant TEXT_LIQUIDITY creative, and creates a PAUSED ad in an existing ad set. Also pulls top-performing ads (ranked by ROAS) and competitor ads from the Ad Library to inform copy. Use when the user asks to deploy / publish / launch a creative as a Meta or Facebook ad, build a Meta ad, push a video or image into an ad set, pull their top ads, or research competitor ads. Not for generating creative (use the image/video skills) and not for writing AdTable/Airtable rows (use adtable-light).

name: analyze-video

description: Analyze a reference video and reverse-engineer its style into a reusable Seedance 2.0 prompting template. The output is a new skill/formula (like seedance-2-ugc.md) that captures the video's structure, pacing, camera work, edit style, and tone so it can be recreated with any product, any person, in any setting. Use this whenever someone provides a video they want to use as a style reference, says "I want to make videos like this", "deconstruct this video", "turn this into a template", "analyze this style", or drops a video file and wants to recreate that format repeatedly.

name: clone-ad

description: Clone an existing video ad for a different product or offer. Analyzes the source video's style, pacing, camera work, dialogue, and tone, then adapts and generates a new Seedance 2.0 video customized for the user's product. End-to-end workflow: input video → analysis → adapted prompt → generation → delivery. Use when someone says "clone this ad", "make this ad but for my product", "recreate this video for my brand", or provides a video ad and a product image asking for a similar video.
