Develop and review audience-relevant, feed-native paid social ad briefs using Barry Hott's public Ugly Ads method when creating concepts, revising creative, or diagnosing ads for scrolling feeds.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Barry Hott's Ugly Ads Based on Barry Hott's public method. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Barry Hott. ## When to use Use this skill to develop, revise, brief, or diagnose paid social creative for scrolling feeds, especially Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. It produces a production-ready creative brief with distinct concepts, opening alternatives, evidence notes, a review, and a proposed learning plan. The central question is whether the intended viewer will recognize something relevant to their own life before scrolling away. [S1][S4][S8] Use it for premium products too. Choose production style from the audience and placement rather than price alone. For television, YouTube, and other contexts that suit polished production, adapt the style accordingly. A campaign's awareness objective does not change what viewers expect in their feed. [S1][S3] …

How to install
mdr add getedgehq/skills/hott-ugly-ads@sha256:d2cc3dcdbaf807cfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.d5668a9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
