## What this Skill helps with

Competitor Ads Extractor organizes ads collected from public ad libraries into a research set covering message, offer, format, audience cues, proof, and creative patterns. It helps teams compare what competitors are running without treating ad presence as proof of performance.

## Who this Skill is for

It is intended for paid-media teams, creative strategists, founders, and researchers preparing campaign or positioning work.

## What you provide

- Competitor names, domains, and market context
- Ad-library links, screenshots, exports, or copied ad records
- Platform, country, date range, and campaign question
- Your offer, audience, message, and creative constraints
- Any competitors or topics that should be excluded

## What it produces

- A cleaned and deduplicated ad inventory
- Tags for message, problem, use case, offer, proof, CTA, and format
- Competitor and cross-competitor pattern tables
- Gaps and overused angles worth discussing
- Research notes for briefs and test planning
- Source links and uncertainty flags

## How the Skill works

The workflow normalizes supplied ad records, groups repeated variants, and classifies their visible elements. It compares frequency and variation across competitors while keeping observation separate from claims about effectiveness.

## Installation and first use

1. Download and add the Skill to Claude.
2. Define the competitor set and research question.
3. Attach public ad-library material with source links and dates.
4. Ask for a cleaned inventory before pattern analysis.
5. Check source accuracy and usage rights before sharing extracts.

## Example workflow and expected output

Provide current Meta and LinkedIn ads from five B2B software competitors. Ask for a table covering audience cue, problem, promise, proof, format, CTA, repeated variants, and possible message gaps for further research.

## Limits and review guidance

Public libraries may omit targeting, spend, delivery, or performance. A long-running ad is not necessarily a successful ad. Sources may be incomplete or outdated, so retain links, dates, and uncertainty notes.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does it scrape ad libraries by itself?

Not by itself. Provide collected records or use separately approved research access.

### Can it tell which competitor ad performs best?

No. Public libraries generally do not provide enough performance evidence for that claim.

### Can I copy a competitor's ad?

The output is intended for research. Create original work and check brand, legal, and platform requirements.
