Pick three to five distinct angles from an offer and audience, write the ad copy for each and generate static ads in Meta and LinkedIn sizes with the user's own image model API, plus a simple test plan. Use when preparing paid social tests.

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

# Ad Creative Variants

Static ads and copy in several distinct angles, ready to test, with a plan for what to test first.

Execution mode: bring your own provider for images (`BFL_API_KEY`, `HIGGSFIELD_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_API_KEY` or `FAL_KEY`). Read keys from environment variables. Never ask the user to paste a key into chat, and never write a key into a file. Text in the final ads is set with a local layout step, not generated, so it stays sharp and correct.

Example request: "Make ad variants for our free audit offer aimed at seed-stage founders, for Meta and LinkedIn."

## Inputs

- The offer, audience, landing page and the one action wanted.
- Brand colours, font file and logo file.
- Proof the brand can use (numbers, customer names with permission). If Competitor Ads Intelligence has been run, read its brief to avoid copying rivals.

## Method

1. **Angles.** Three to five that are genuinely different: pain, outcome, objection handled, proof, comparison with the alternative, or curiosity. One line each on why it could work for this audience.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ekos-labs/skills/ad-creative-variants@sha256:751049977f1a8d1c

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
