What it does

A media buyer's skill pack for the Arcads external API. arcads-external-api (with analyze-video and clone-ad prompting sub-skills) generates Seedance 2.0, Sora 2, Veo 3.1 and Kling video ads and AI-actor scripts; chatgpt-image-ad, nano-banana-image-ad and image-ad-clone make static ads; scripts stitch Pixar or claymation ads and burn captions with HyperFrames + Whisper. meta-ad-builder publishes finished creatives through the Meta Marketing API, and a Meta Ad Library to Airtable workflow builds a competitor swipe file with recreation prompts.
