Generates structured campaign concepts and platform-specific copy from your brand
profile and optional audit data. Outputs campaign-brief.md for use by /ads generate.
| Command | What it does |
|---------|-------------|
| /ads create | Full campaign brief → campaign-brief.md |
| /ads create --platforms meta google | Brief for specific platforms only |
| /ads create --objective leads | Brief optimized for lead generation |
Look for brand-profile.json in the current directory.
"I don't see a brand-profile.json in this directory. Would you like to:
- Run
/ads dna <url>first to extract brand DNA automatically- Describe your brand manually (I'll create a basic profile from your description)"
If the user chooses manual, collect:
Look for ADS-AUDIT-REPORT.md or any *-audit-results.md in the current directory.
/ads audit for weakness-targeted concepts."If --platforms or --objective flags were provided in the command, use those values
and skip the corresponding questions below.
Ask (combine into one message — omit any already provided via flags):
Agents must run sequentially — copy-writer reads the file that creative-strategist
writes, so running them in parallel creates a race condition on campaign-brief.md.
Step 4a — Spawn creative-strategist (Task tool):
This agent creates campaign-brief.md and writes the strategic sections:
## Brand DNA Summary, ## Campaign Concepts, ## Image Generation Briefs, ## Next Steps.
Wait for creative-strategist to fully complete before continuing.
Step 4b — Spawn copy-writer (Task tool):
After creative-strategist completes, spawn copy-writer. It reads the existing
campaign-brief.md and appends the ## Copy Deck section with platform-specific
headlines, primary text, and CTAs.
Wait for copy-writer to complete before proceeding to Step 5.
After both agents complete, confirm campaign-brief.md exists and is complete.
Present a summary to the user:
✓ campaign-brief.md generated
Summary:
Concepts: [N] campaign concepts created
Platforms: [list]
Copy deck: Headlines, primary text, and CTAs for each concept × platform
Image briefs: [N] image generation briefs ready
Next steps:
1. Review campaign-brief.md and adjust any messaging
2. Run `/ads generate` to produce AI images from the briefs
3. Upload copy and assets to your ad platforms
The following section headings are a parsing contract — agents downstream depend on these exact heading names.

## Audit Context
[If audit data found: top 3 weaknesses being addressed]
[If no audit data: "No audit data — run /ads audit for weakness-targeted concepts"]
## Campaign Concepts
### Concept 1: [Name]
**Hypothesis:** [why this will work — 1 sentence]

## Next Steps
1. Review all concepts and select which to move forward with
2. Run `/ads generate` to produce images from the briefs above
3. Adjust CTAs and offers in the copy deck for your specific promotion
4. Upload final assets to your ad platform managers

React and Next.js performance optimization guidelines from Vercel Engineering. This skill should be used when writing, reviewing, or refactoring React/Next.js code to ensure optimal performance patterns. Triggers on tasks involving React components, Next.js pages, data fetching, bundle optimization, or performance improvements.
testing
Full QA pass: run all tests, check types, catch regressions, write missing tests. Use when the user says "run tests", "QA", "verify changes", "check for regressions", "test everything", or "make sure it works".
development
Provides guidance for property-based testing across multiple languages and smart contracts. Use when writing tests, reviewing code with serialization/validation/parsing patterns, designing features, or when property-based testing would provide stronger coverage than example-based tests.

Initialize a new project with Kenny's universal conventions and stack-appropriate infrastructure. Use this skill whenever: setting up a new project, creating a new repo, scaffolding a new app, starting fresh on a new idea, 'init project', 'new project', 'set up a new app', 'create a project for X', or any variant of starting a new codebase from scratch. Also trigger when the user says 'bootstrap', 'scaffold', or 'kickstart'. This skill ensures every project gets the same quality gates and conventions while adapting infrastructure to the chosen stack.
