Agencies charge $5-10K/month for competitor spying, bulk creative, and account health checks. These 5 Claude skills do it in minutes, and you own every one of them.
Running Meta ads manually is a full-time job. Every week you're scrolling the Ad Library, briefing copywriters, and spending money on creative before you know if the hook is any good.
These 5 Claude Code skills replace that workflow, and the agency retainer that charges you to run it.
Pulls every active ad from any Facebook page via the Meta Ad Library API. Diffs against last week's pull to surface only new creative. Returns a structured intelligence report with hooks, CTAs, offer types, creative angles, and how long each ad has been running.
What you find out:
Prerequisite: a Meta Ad Library API token, set as $META_ACCESS_TOKEN.
Give it 3-5 competitor names or URLs. It pulls their active ads, ranks hooks by frequency, identifies offer structures and CTA patterns, then outputs a gap analysis showing emotional angles your competitors aren't using, that you could own.
Output:
Give it your product description and your CLAUDE.md brand context. Generates 20 distinct ad copy variations, short, medium, and long format, in about 10 minutes. What used to take a copywriter 4-8 hours.
Runs 186 checks across your Meta account. Detects creative fatigue, audience overlap, CPM anomalies, and frequency violations. Returns a unified health score from 0-100 with a prioritized action plan.
What it catches:
Paste in any ad, yours or a competitor's. It scores it across 6 dimensions on a 1-10 scale and tells you exactly where it's weak and why, before you put money behind it.
The 6 dimensions:
