Launch Meta Ad Campaign

Guide the user from campaign intent to either a verified paused Meta campaign or a complete campaign plan. This skill is agent-neutral: choose the best available adapter, but keep one safety workflow and one approval boundary.

Choose one mode

Use the first available mode:

1. GooseWorks adapter when all GooseWorks launch tools are callable. Read references/gooseworks-adapter.md.
2. Direct Meta adapter when a valid Meta token and ad-account access are available. Read references/direct-meta-adapter.md and use the bundled tools/meta_marketing_api.js.
3. Planning-only fallback when neither write adapter is available. Read references/planning-only.md. Produce a useful plan; do not present missing write access as a failed planning task.

If both write adapters are available, prefer GooseWorks because its approval page, creative links, and recovery records are already integrated. Never mix adapters within one launch.

Universal workflow

1. Resume or inspect before asking

• Resume any existing launch record or push first. Never duplicate a partially completed launch.
• Inspect existing campaigns, ad sets, ads, and relevant creative before recommending a new structure.
• Explain whether the intent fits reuse or needs a new campaign. Do not create a second context system when the selected adapter already provides one.

2. Collect only missing decisions

State what is known, then ask once for the missing budget, account-local schedule, destination URL, result/objective, bidding and optimization, geography/audience, placements, tracking, Page/Instagram identity, and creative/copy.

Do not silently approximate unsupported objectives, special-ad-category handling, targeting, bid controls, or tracking. Planning-only mode may still design these configurations even when the available write adapter cannot create them.

3. Validate before any write

• Render or inspect the final destination, follow redirects, require public HTTPS, and confirm the approved host.
• Check message and claim match, one clear CTA, tracking/pixel availability, and obvious broken-page states.
• Run Meta policy review for the objective, audience, copy, creative, destination, and special-category implications.
• Block hard destination or policy failures. Show non-blocking warnings plainly and explain any optimization fallback.

4. Prepare one exact plan

Summarize in human language:

• campaign name, objective, special category, and paused status;
• ad set names, budget type and amount, account timezone, dates, geography, audience, placements, optimization, and bidding;
• every ad, creative, Page/Instagram identity, copy, CTA, and destination;
• what is reused versus created, destination/policy results, warnings, and tracking assumptions.

Persist the exact plan before asking for approval. A changed plan requires validation and approval again.

5. Obtain explicit human approval immediately before writing

Preparation, inspection, validation, and planning are read-only. They do not authorize a Meta write.

• GooseWorks mode uses the returned approval page/card. Chat cannot approve a GooseWorks push.
• Direct Meta mode requires an explicit user confirmation for the exact paused plan immediately before the publish command.
• A decline or missing confirmation means no write.

Never activate ads automatically. This skill has no direct-activation step.

6. Create paused, persist, and read back

• Create campaign, ad set, and ads only with PAUSED status.
• Persist each returned ID immediately so interruption and partial failure are recoverable.
• Read every object back from Meta. Report success only after names, parent links, objective, budget/schedule, targeting/optimization, creative/destination identity, and paused state match the approved plan.
• On failure, list what failed, every object already created, its verified status, and the exact next action. Resume from persisted IDs only after renewed user approval; never recreate completed steps.

Final response

End with the adapter used, inspection/reuse decision, approved configuration, destination and policy result, Meta IDs, readback status, warnings or partial failures, and the next human action. The normal write-mode stopping point is: ready in Meta, paused, spending nothing.
