Clones a STATIC IMAGE ad into finished ads for your own product, into a reusable prompt TEMPLATE, or both — the template is what makes the ads and the ads are what prove the template. Round-trips the frame through gpt-image-2, nano-banana-pro or reve-2.1 until it reproduces, replaces every brand-specific with a {placeholder}, then fills it with your product pinned to a real photo. Use for "clone this ad for my product", "rebuild this competitor's ad for us", "make me ads like this…

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

# clone-image-ad

Take an existing image ad and turn it into a reusable, parameterizable prompt template that
gets appended to the shared **40-template image-ad library**. The template is validated by
round-tripping it through a Novoads image model and comparing against the original.

## If the `shared/` files are not on disk

Then this skill was installed on its own from skills.sh, and the library it is supposed to append
to came with nothing. Fetch each missing file from
`https://raw.githubusercontent.com/novoads/agent-skills/main/<path>`, where `<path>` is one of
`shared/skills/clone-image-ad/prompting/guide.md`,
`shared/skills/image-ad-prompting/prompting/template-format.md`,
`shared/skills/image-ad-prompting/prompting/prompt-library.md` and
`shared/skills/image-ad-prompting/OVERVIEW.md`. Cloning the whole pack with
`git clone https://github.com/novoads/agent-skills.git` is the better move here, because the
deliverable is an entry written back into `prompt-library.md` and a raw fetch gives you nowhere to
save it. That install has no `scripts/check-novoads-env.sh` either, so set `NOVOADS_API_KEY` in the
environment yourself and let the first call report the key.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add novoads/agent-skills/clone-image-ad@sha256:5e9ecde461c77f5d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.dbec1ea, 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.
