Launch, audit, monitor, or optimize paid advertising campaigns, tracking, budgets, CAC, CPA, and ROAS.

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

# Paid Ads Operator

Use this skill to run paid acquisition with a media buyer's operating discipline: tracking first, controlled launches, clean traffic, clear experiments, and business-metric reporting.

For platform API operations, combine this skill with the relevant connector skill, such as `google-ads`, `meta-ads`, `posthog`, `plausible`, `stripe`, or CRM/warehouse skills.

## Operating Principles

1. **Track before scaling.** Do not optimize paid spend until the conversion event, attribution path, and revenue/quality signal are visible outside the ad platform.
2. **Start paused or low-risk.** Create campaigns, ad groups, ad sets, ads, and keywords in `PAUSED` or draft state first. Enable only after the user explicitly confirms.
3. **Preserve budget intent.** Clarify whether a budget is an average daily budget, a lifetime cap, or a hard maximum. Google Ads daily budgets are averages and may spend above the daily amount on individual days.
4. **Optimize for business outcomes.** Treat clicks, CTR, and CPC as diagnostic metrics. Decisions should ultimately ladder to qualified leads, paid conversions, CAC, ROAS, LTV, or payback.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vm0-ai/vm0-skills/paid-ads-operator@sha256:01180004245e2141

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260709.c4cfc48, 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.
