Paid Ads: Meta Ads
Guides Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Ads setup, campaign structure, audience targeting, and creative optimization. Meta excels at demand generation and visual products; use when creating demand or when creative assets are strong.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
Campaign Structure
Hierarchy: Campaign → Ad Set → Ad (3 levels)
Principle: One objective per campaign. Multiple campaigns for the same objective split budget and data, slowing the algorithm's learning phase. Consolidate by objective; focus on clean structure and data-led decisions.

reddit-automation
flowkit-labs/skills
Find Reddit threads where people are genuinely asking for what you offer, then draft short, genuinely helpful replies — disclosing your affiliation honestly and naming your product only when it truly answers the question. Two moves: discovery — scan the right subreddits for real needs (recommendation asks, expressed pain, competitor mentions) and rank the few threads where you can actually help; drafting — write from real experience, respect each community's self-promo rules, and keep a human in the loop to review and post. This markets on Reddit the honest way: contribute value, disclose who you are, never astroturf. Distilled from the playbook behind doany.ai's Reddit agent. Triggers on "find reddit opportunities", "reddit marketing", "reddit automation", "reply on reddit for my product", "reddit community engagement", "reddit lead gen", or any ask to turn Reddit threads into genuine, disclosed marketing replies.
