Test it

Using "video-ad-specs". Plan a 15 second TikTok ad for a desk organizer.

Expected outcome:

The response outlines a vertical 9:16 concept with a one-second hook, a messy-desk problem scene, a clean reveal, captions, and a final link-in-bio CTA.

Using "video-ad-specs". Adapt one software demo ad for YouTube and LinkedIn.

Expected outcome:

The response separates a six-second YouTube bumper from a professional LinkedIn feed version, with different aspect ratios, pacing, and CTA placement.

Using "video-ad-specs". Check this video ad script before launch.

Expected outcome:

The response flags late branding, missing captions, platform duration risk, unsafe bottom text placement, and unclear final action.

What You Can Build

Translate Briefs Into Production Prompts

Turn a product brief into scene prompts, voiceover direction, caption needs, and platform-specific delivery requirements.

Review Video Ad Readiness

Check whether an ad concept has the right hook, duration, captions, CTA timing, and safe-zone treatment.

Try These Prompts

Choose Platform Specs

Use the video-ad-specs skill to list the recommended format, duration, caption needs, and safe zones for a [platform] ad about [product].

Draft AIDA Video Structure

Use the skill to create a 15 to 30 second AIDA outline for [product] targeting [audience] on [platform]. Include hook, product reveal, proof, and CTA timing.

Build Production Prompts

Use the skill to convert this brief into video scene prompts, voiceover copy, caption guidance, and platform specs: [brief]. Keep each scene matched to [platform].

Audit Multi-Platform Variants

Use the skill to review these ad concepts for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Flag mismatched ratios, weak hooks, missing captions, unsafe text placement, and CTA timing problems: [concepts].

Best Practices

Name the target platform before asking for specs or production guidance.
Provide the product, audience, offer, proof point, and desired CTA in the prompt.
Verify final dimensions, duration, captions, and policy requirements in the ad platform before publishing.

Avoid

Using one landscape video for every social platform without resizing or restructuring it.
Skipping captions because the ad includes voiceover or music.
Requesting final launch approval without checking platform rules, claims, rights, and brand standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which platforms does this skill cover?

It covers TikTok, Instagram Reels, Instagram Stories, YouTube, Facebook Feed, and LinkedIn video ad formats.

Yes. It explains why captions matter and includes guidance for readable, high-contrast captions on mobile video.

Can I use it for paid media production?

Yes. It is useful for planning paid social creative, briefing production, and checking platform-specific requirements.

Are the platform specs guaranteed to be current?
