What problem does it solve?
Paid-media operations built on Claude Ads need deterministic proof that contracts, scoring inputs, run bundles, and capabilities are correct before audits, releases, or uninstalls proceed. This Skill replaces ad-hoc manual checks with machine-readable pass/fail validation and explicit recovery guidance.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Multi-scope validation: Validate contracts, scoring inputs, run manifests, capability declarations, repository gates, and release readiness with the narrowest applicable target.
- Stale-evidence handling: Demote expired claims when source or filesystem access is missing, and block dependent release-current assertions until access is restored.
- Safe install and uninstall checks: Verify ownership manifests before deletion, protect unrelated ads-* skills, reject pipe-to-shell installs, and require SHA-256 checksum verification for archives.
- Use Case: Before shipping a new Claude Ads release, run the release validation to confirm deterministic, routing, security, installer, rendering, evidence, packaging, and freshness gates all pass, and receive the highest-priority blocker with exact evidence if anything fails.
Quick Start
Ask the assistant to validate the Claude Ads release readiness and report any blockers with evidence and recovery steps.
