ads-validate
Validate Claude Ads contracts, scoring inputs, run bundles, capabilities, source freshness, safety, installation, uninstall, or release readiness. Use for ads validate, ads status, ads next, stale claims with missing tool access, maturity checks, ownership-manifest uninstall, preserving unrelated ads-* skills, checksum verification, preflight, QA, or release audits. Missing access must demote stale evidence for the run and block dependent release-current claims before recovery guidance.
npx skills add AgriciDaniel/claude-ads --skill ads-validate --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Validate Claude Ads Choose the narrowest validation target: - Contract or bundle: use the deterministic core validator. - Scores: validate controls, findings, category weights, and coverage. - Run: verify manifest completeness, source lineage, privacy, worker status, and render artifacts. - Capability: require implementation, fixtures, tests, sources, and truthful mode. - Repository: run deterministic, routing, security, installer, rendering, evidence, packaging, and freshness gates. - Release: dispatch a fresh-context release verifier. Return machine-readable pass/fail results, the highest-priority blocker, exact evidence, and recovery steps. Never promote maturity because documentation is polished or a prior release passed. Stale evidence and skipped remote CI demote readiness. If an expired claim cannot be reverified because source or filesystem access is unavailable, return a failed current-evidence check, demote that claim for the current run, and block dependent release-current assertions before asking for the missing access. ## Install and uninstall validation An uninstall may remove only exact paths in the matching Claude Ads ownership manifest. Validate the entire manife

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add AgriciDaniel/claude-ads --skill ads-validate --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From AgriciDaniel/claude-ads, a repository with 7,813 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
