meta-ads is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from YSY-99/meta-ads-api-field-guide. It costs 74 tokens per session (1,775 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A safety-focused guide for automating Meta ads through the API, the interface software uses to work with Meta's advertising system. Meta runs advertising on Facebook and Instagram.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, inspect, update, or troubleshoot campaigns, ad sets, ads, creatives, budgets, audience-event setups, and cross-account creative transfers.
Why use it?
It helps prevent common automation mistakes, such as using outdated fields, exceeding request limits, resetting campaigns during the learning phase, or activating new ads before review. Changes require confirmation, while reading data does not.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

meta-ads 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 2mo 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.

Meta Ads — Production-Safe Automation Skill

This skill loads the operational discipline from the Meta Ads API Field Guide so Claude doesn't hallucinate deprecated fields, blow past rate limits, or accidentally trigger learning-phase resets.

When to use

Trigger this skill for ANY Meta Ads API work:

  • Creating campaigns, ad sets, ads, or creatives
  • Pulling insights / building reports
  • Scaling budgets / managing active campaigns
  • Debugging API errors (code 10, 17, 190, 1487225, etc.)
  • Cross-account creative transfers
  • CAPI / server-side event setup

Do NOT trigger for pure Ads Manager UI questions, CRO strategy, or non-API marketing advice.

Hard rules (never violate)

  1. PAUSED by default. Every campaign, ad set, and ad created via API must have status: "PAUSED". User activates manually after review. → Field Guide: Pre-Campaign Checklist

  2. Write operations require confirmation. Before any create/update/delete, show the user what will be written and wait for explicit approval. Read-only (get_*, list_*) is free.

  3. Attribution from donor, literally. When copying a campaign, copy attribution_spec exactly from the donor. Never "upgrade" 1d_click → 7d_click. → Pitfall 1

  4. Rate limit: stop on error, don't retry. On code 17, 613, or subcode 80004, read X-Business-Use-Case-Usage.estimated_time_to_regain_access and sleep. Do NOT retry immediately. → Rate Limits

  5. Cross-account = checklist first. Image hashes, page IDs, pixel IDs, audience IDs are all account-scoped. Never reuse across accounts without substitution. → Cross-Account Ops

  6. Incremental > rebuild. If > 50% of target objects already exist correctly, add the missing ones. Don't delete and recreate. → Pitfall 14

  7. Budget changes: max 4/hour per ad set, ≤ 20% increments. Error subcode 1487225 = budget change limit. > 20% = learning phase reset. → Budgets & Learning Phase

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.
