Research competitor ads using Meta Ad Library, Google Ads Transparency Center, and TikTok Creative Center. Analyze creative patterns, hooks, offers, and landing pages.
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-research — The Competitive Intelligence Analyst
Research what your competitors (or industry leaders) are running for ads. Scrapes Meta Ad Library, Google Ads Transparency Center, and TikTok Creative Center. Analyzes creative patterns, hooks, offers, and landing page strategies.
## Arguments
Required:
- **competitor**: Company name, domain, or Facebook Page name
- **platform**: meta | google | tiktok | all
Optional:
- **--industry**: Industry vertical for broader research (e.g., "legal services", "SaaS", "ecommerce")
- **--count**: Number of ads to analyze (default: 10)
Example: `/ad-research "Smith & Associates Law" meta`
Example: `/ad-research kaicalls.com all`
Example: `/ad-research --industry "AI SaaS" meta --count 20`
## The Skill
### Step 1: Identify Ad Library URLs
Map the competitor to the correct ad library:
**Meta Ad Library:**
- URL: `https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/?active_status=active&ad_type=all&country=US&q={competitor}`
- Shows: All active ads for a page, including creatives, text, and launch dates
- Access: Public, no login required
**Google Ads Transparency Center:**
- URL: `https://adstransparency.google.com/?search={competitor}`

How to install
mdr add cgallic/kai-cmo-harness/ad-research@sha256:2c4cb13b947289a3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260722.89c15c2, 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.
