Turn a campaign goal and an audience insight into a structured creative brief a designer, video editor, or UGC creator can execute - messaging angle, hook directions, art direction, specs, testing intent, and the handoff and revision loop. Covers B2B and B2C, with variants for static image, short-form video/UGC, and search/responsive text ads. Use whenever the user needs to brief a designer or creator, asks what an ad should say, or mentions messaging pillars, creative direction, or a design handoff - even if they never say 'brief'. Writes direction, never the finished asset: the ad copy itself is mbfinotti/advertising-skills@ad-copy-variants and shot-by-shot creator scripts are mbfinotti/advertising-skills@ugc-ad-scripts.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "write a creative brief", "build a motion brief", "the client doesn't know what they want", "turn this vague client request into a brief", "what questions should I ask the client", or "make a brief I can get sign-off on". It turns a fuzzy client ask into a structured, sign-off-ready motion design brief and the exact clarifying questions to send back.
Generate a paid social creative brief from a whitelisted or Spark Ad creator post, covering hook analysis, messaging angle, audience targeting, caption variants, and placement recommendations. This skill should be used when turning a creator post into a paid ad brief, writing a creative brief for whitelisted content, briefing the paid team on creator content, generating Spark Ads briefs from organic posts, creating paid media briefs from influencer content, translating UGC into a paid social strategy, building a media buyer brief from a creator video, preparing whitelisted content for ad spend, or generating placement recommendations for boosted creator content. For adapting captions into ad copy variants, see paid-ad-copy-adapter. For organic repost captions, see organic-repost-caption-writer. For FTC compliance, see ftc-disclosure-spot-checker.
Brand-aware design system generator that acts as Head of Brand. Translates abstract brand language into a mathematically-validated, implementation-ready design system, writes creative-brief.md as the source of truth for all UI/UX in a project, and optionally compiles it to framework tokens (Tailwind v4 @theme, v3 preset, or plain CSS custom properties). Standalone skill (like bug-hunting and hotfix — no full pipeline required). Trigger on "/brand-design", "design system", "creative brief", "define the brand", "brand identity", "set up UI tokens", "export design tokens", "tailwind theme from brand", or when starting UI work without an existing design authority.
Build and maintain a competitor swipe file - competitors' currently-running ads collected into a categorised, queryable library classified by format, hook type, offer/angle, awareness stage, and funnel stage, then converted into ranked creative test hypotheses. Accepts pasted ad text, described ads, screenshots, export files, or public ad transparency libraries. Use whenever the user asks what ads competitors are running, wants a competitor ad teardown, creative inspiration, or to know what is working in their category - even if they never say 'swipe file'. Covers B2B and B2C on any paid channel. Stops at ranked hypotheses: briefing is mbfinotti/advertising-skills@ad-creative-brief and test design is mbfinotti/advertising-skills@ad-creative-test-plan.
Turn a product brief and target audience into UGC-style short-form video ad scripts a creator can film - hook, body, CTA - with 3-5 hook variants per concept written as spoken line plus on-screen text plus opening visual, with delivery notes and disclosure lines. Use whenever the user asks for a UGC ad or creator script, a short-form vertical video ad script, a founder-led video, employee-generated content, or a customer testimonial video script - even if they never say 'UGC'. Covers B2C creator scripts and B2B formats. Do NOT use to score existing hooks (mbfinotti/advertising-skills@ad-hook-analyzer), to write static ad copy (mbfinotti/advertising-skills@ad-copy-variants), or to brief a designer (mbfinotti/advertising-skills@ad-creative-brief).
Turn one core value proposition into genuinely distinct ad copy variants - headline, primary text, description, and CTA combinations - each labelled with angle, awareness stage, formula, and version so test results stay attributable. A real variant is a new angle, never a reworded line. Use whenever the user asks to write ad copy, needs headline or CTA variations, wants copy to A/B test, has ads that all sound the same, or needs a search ad headline set or an ML asset pool - even if they never say 'variants'. Covers B2B and B2C. Do NOT use for video or creator scripts (mbfinotti/advertising-skills@ugc-ad-scripts), a designer brief (mbfinotti/advertising-skills@ad-creative-brief), or test design (mbfinotti/advertising-skills@ad-creative-test-plan).
Flag ad formats that are a poor fit or commonly misused for a given objective and platform - formats the objective does not even expose, formats built for a different funnel stage, formats the team cannot produce - then, post-launch, separate a format problem from a creative or targeting problem. Use whenever the user asks which ad format to use, mentions carousel, Stories, in-feed vs in-stream video, a funnel-stage mismatch, a pre-launch format check, or says a format 'isn't working' - even if they never say 'format fit'. Covers B2B and B2C, with explicit launch blockers. Do NOT use to choose the channel itself (mbfinotti/advertising-skills@ad-platform-selection) or to brief the creative (mbfinotti/advertising-skills@ad-creative-brief).
Input the original caption, creator handle, and brand voice and receive 3 ready-to-post captions for reposting creator content to your brand's social channels with proper credit and attribution. This skill should be used when writing a repost caption for a creator's content, drafting captions to reshare UGC on your brand account, creating branded captions for reposting influencer content, writing credit captions for sharing creator videos on your brand feed, adapting a creator's post for your brand's Instagram or TikTok, generating repost captions with proper creator attribution, repurposing creator content captions for brand channels, or writing share captions for UGC reposts. For generating ad copy from creator content, see paid-ad-copy-adapter. For writing a paid social brief from whitelisted posts, see paid-social-creative-brief-from-creator-content. For building content briefs before production, see creator-content-concept-generator.
Walk the user through four directional axes (tone register, aesthetic philosophy, audience relationship, sensory ambition) and produce a structured aesthetic brief that downstream skills consume as required input. This is the aesthetic depth layer, distinct from `creative-brief` which covers the operational kickoff (scope, audience, deliverables, constraints). Use this skill when a project needs aesthetic coherence across many small decisions and the user has not yet articulated direction beyond a vague feeling. The brief becomes a reference that content, copy, design, and art-direction skills check against when producing output. Triggers on creative direction, aesthetic direction, set the aesthetic, define the visual direction, what's the vibe, what's the tone, the four axes, tone register, aesthetic philosophy, audience relationship, sensory ambition, our visual register. Also triggers when multiple downstream aesthetic-producing skills are about to run and need a shared brief to maintain coherence. Does NOT fire when the user needs a general kickoff brief covering scope and constraints (use `creative-brief` instead), for tactical single-piece work, when the user already has complete aesthetic direction documented, for purely functional output, or for production-stage work where direction is locked.
Create evidence-based Meta ad creative briefs, copy angles, and testable asset concepts for Facebook and Instagram. Use when asked for Meta ad creative, Facebook ads copy, Instagram ad assets, UGC concepts, creative briefs, new ad concepts, or creative refreshes.
Helps develop ad concepts from hooks or ideas for paid social campaigns. Use when the user has a hook or idea and wants to build it into a full ad concept. Triggers: "ad concept", "creative concept", "campaign idea", "ad direction", "concept brief", "creative brief", "develop this hook", "build out this idea", "paid social concept"
