What is ads-generate?

An AI image generator for paid advertising. It uses a campaign brief and optional brand profile to create images sized for advertising platforms.

Use it to create ad images for selected platforms or image proportions, either from campaign files or from a direct prompt. It requires banana-claude with nanobanana-mcp configured.

It removes the need to turn campaign requirements and brand guidelines into separate image-generation prompts by hand.

Install

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00087	$0.01371
Opus 5	$0.00044	$0.00685
Sonnet 5	$0.00017	$0.00274
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00137

Security

Grade A, and why

ads-generate scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Ads Generate: AI Ad Image Generator

Generates platform-sized ad creative images from your campaign brief and brand profile. Uses banana-claude as the image generation provider.

Quick Reference

Command	What it does
`/ads generate`	Generate all images from campaign-brief.md
`/ads generate --platform meta`	Generate Meta assets only
`/ads generate --prompt "text" --ratio 9:16`	Standalone generation without brief

Environment Setup

Required before running:

Requires banana-claude (v1.4.1+) with nanobanana-mcp configured
Run /banana setup to configure API key and MCP
Fallback: if banana is not available, use scripts/generate_image.py (deprecated)

If banana-claude is not installed, this skill will display setup instructions and stop. It will never fail silently.

Process

Step 1: Verify banana-claude

Verify banana-claude is installed (run /banana setup to check). If not installed, display setup instructions and exit.

Step 2: Locate Source Files

Check for:

campaign-brief.md → primary source for prompts and dimensions
brand-profile.json → brand color/style injection (optional but recommended)

If campaign-brief.md is found: Use ## Image Generation Briefs section as the generation job list.

If no campaign-brief.md: Enter standalone mode (Step 2b).

Step 2b: Standalone Mode

Ask the user:

Generation prompt (what should the image show?)
Target platform (to set correct dimensions)
Output filename (optional)

Then skip to Step 5.

Step 3: Read Provider Config

Load ads-shared/references/image-providers.md to confirm:

Active provider pricing (show user the cost estimate)
Rate limits for current tier
Batch API availability

Step 4: Read Platform Specs

For each platform in the campaign brief, load the relevant spec reference:

ads-shared/references/meta-creative-specs.md
ads-shared/references/google-creative-specs.md
ads-shared/references/tiktok-creative-specs.md
ads-shared/references/linkedin-creative-specs.md
ads-shared/references/youtube-creative-specs.md
ads-shared/references/microsoft-creative-specs.md

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
