## Prompt Templates

### Choose a Platform

```
I sell [product] to [audience] with a monthly budget of [budget]. Recommend the best ad platform and campaign objective.
```

### Build Campaign Structure

```
Create a campaign structure for [platform] to promote [offer]. Include campaign names, audiences, ad sets, budget split, and success metrics.
```

### Write Ad Variations

```
Write paid ad copy for [offer] aimed at [audience]. Include search headlines, social primary text, CTAs, and three creative angles.

```

## Limitations

- Does not connect to ad accounts or make campaign changes directly.
- Requires user-provided goals, budget, offer, audience, and performance data.
- Cannot guarantee CPA, ROAS, reach, or conversion outcomes.
- Platform policies and targeting options may change and should be verified before launch.

## Best Practices

- Start with clear conversion tracking, budget pacing, and a defined success metric.
- Test one major variable at a time so results are easier to interpret.
- Compare platform-reported results with analytics data and blended acquisition costs.

## Anti Patterns

- Launching campaigns before pixels, conversion events, and UTM parameters are verified.
- Spreading a small budget across too many campaigns, audiences, or creative concepts.
- Scaling spend before the campaign has enough conversion data and stable performance.

## Security Audit

- Summary: All static findings were adjudicated as false positives. The external-command flags are Markdown fences around text examples, and the blocker flags are advertising terms or headings rather than system reconnaissance. No prompt injection, data exfiltration intent, or executable behavior was found in SKILL.md.
