skills/ads-audit/SKILL.md
Full multi-platform paid advertising audit with parallel subagent delegation. Analyzes Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, TikTok Ads, Microsoft Ads, and Apple Ads accounts via 6 parallel audit agents. Amazon Ads, cross-platform attribution, and server-side tracking are covered by their standalone sub-skills (ads-amazon, ads-attribution, ads-server-side-tracking) — Wave 3 will add their paired agents so they can dispatch in parallel here. Generates health score per platform and aggregate score (0-100). Use when user says audit, full ad check, analyze my ads, account health check, paid media audit, paid advertising audit, ad spend audit, advertising audit, or PPC audit.
