Ads Pixel Readiness

Validate event tracking and attribution readiness for Meta Pixel, Google Ads tags, TikTok Pixel, and cross-channel optimization.

Purpose

Core mission:

• pixel install checks, event integrity, attribution readiness

This skill is specialized for advertising workflows and should output actionable plans rather than generic advice.

When To Trigger

Use this skill when the user asks for:

• ad execution guidance tied to business outcomes
• growth decisions involving revenue, roas, cpa, or budget efficiency
• platform-level actions for: Meta (Facebook/Instagram), Google Ads, TikTok Ads, YouTube Ads
• this specific capability: pixel install checks, event integrity, attribution readiness

High-signal keywords:

• ads, advertising, campaign, growth, revenue, profit
• roas, cpa, roi, budget, bidding, traffic, conversion, funnel
• meta, googleads, tiktokads, youtubeads, amazonads, shopifyads, dsp

Input Contract

Required:

• entity_ids: account, campaign, adset, or ad identifiers
• incident_or_audit_scope
• time_window

Optional:

• logs_or_events
• policy_flags
• alert_thresholds
• owner_contacts

Output Contract

1. Operational Status Summary
2. Severity-ranked Findings
3. Mitigation Actions
4. Escalation Ticket Payload
5. Monitoring Checklist

Workflow

1. Confirm operational scope and impacted entities.
2. Validate data freshness and event completeness.
3. Detect anomalies, policy flags, or setup gaps.
4. Rank fixes by spend risk and recovery speed.
5. Emit owner-ready action and ticket payload.

Decision Rules

• If data is stale, block final judgement and request refresh timestamp.
• If high-severity risk is found, recommend containment action first.
• If root cause is uncertain, provide top hypotheses with validation order.

Platform Notes

Primary scope:

• Meta (Facebook/Instagram), Google Ads, TikTok Ads, YouTube Ads

Platform behavior guidance:

• Keep recommendations channel-aware; do not collapse all channels into one generic plan.
• For Meta and TikTok Ads, prioritize creative testing cadence.
• For Google Ads and Amazon Ads, prioritize demand-capture and query/listing intent.
• For DSP/programmatic, prioritize audience control and frequency governance.

Constraints And Guardrails

• Never fabricate metrics or policy outcomes.
• Separate observed facts from assumptions.
• Use measurable language for each proposed action.
• Include at least one rollback or stop-loss condition when spend risk exists.

Failure Handling And Escalation

• If critical inputs are missing, ask for only the minimum required fields.
• If platform constraints conflict, show trade-offs and a safe default.
• If confidence is low, mark it explicitly and provide a validation checklist.
• If high-risk issues appear (policy, billing, tracking breakage), escalate with a structured handoff payload.
